cameraman sways to remember how the eye dances
where the hell am i and why did i get up at 6am to be here?
i am bored, so i will post to waste my time and yours.
i am at work
i should not complain about this
i am in a better employment situation than about 95% of the people i know.
i am aware of this and i am grateful.
still though, i feel things could be better.
i work in a repair shop somewhere in the middle of a gigantic warehouse, far away from windows, oxygen and life. everything is grey, everything looks uncomfortably 1974, especially the people. before the bosnian kid we just recently hired i was the youngest person here by 15 years. i fix department store equipment; cash registers, barcode scanners, wireless stuff, etc. component level electronic stuff, circuit board repair. i have a 2-year ITT electronics degree, i have worked here over 3 years. i make $14/hr., which isn't bad, considering my education and the state of the economy. my pay is a big reason why i can't find a better job, most electronics jobs start about $9-10 right now, crappy. i don't mind electronics, i just don't like this place, i don't like seeing the same incredibly boring 20 people everyday for 3 years, i don't like the creepy old emotionally fucked up gay guy i share an office with. i don't like that i have a job that doesn't require, encourage or allow creative thinking of any kind. speed is gold here, repetition is key, production numbers are life.
i feel that this place is leading nowhere, and that i have a greater potential than i am using.
i just can't for the life of me figure out what direction to point myself in.
i suppose for now i will be happy that i am stably employed.
speaking of which, i should return to working so that i can keep my numbers up and keep this job.
*yawn*
