And every new job I think the same thing "this is just not me"... but this really isn't me. And then I think that I need to change careers, but in what direction? And who am I to bitch, really? I look like a spoiled brat. I'm lucky to a point, and yes I know that, but does that mean I have to be happy in my chosen profession? Certain days make me more pensive than others... this being one. So much work... not much time. I can already see the overtime piling up though since I'm an employee now I won't get to bill out at time and a half. So I sit here and try to calm myself... and think "Just until January... just stay until January." Max out my vacation time... collect my bonus... and then leave.
You know what job I'd like. I'd like to be one of those managers who worry all day about what other people are doing because they don't actually know how to do anything themselves. How do you snag one of those dealies? I think you have to be born incompetent but be a real good bullshitter. I suck at BS. Now THAT'S a course they should have taught in college.
On the brighter side, I finished my new dress design for class today. It took way too many hours (about 15) but I finally have it all sewn up in muslin to take to class with me and check the fit and rework the pattern. It figures that I picked an extremely difficult dress as my first try (I didn't realize it at the time); the damn thing was like a puzzle to put together. Not very easy to sew but I think I figured out a couple short cuts for the next go around... most importantly: screw the lining. Let's see if my instructor lets me get away with it.
