Take this job and shove it...
Today I told my supervisor I no longer wish to be under the employment of Comcast. This shocked and disappointed him. I could tell this by his reluctance to continue to make eye contact with me throughout the day.
And to that I say, "Fuck it."
As of Friday, I'm unemployed. And I couldn't be happier. For the first time since May, I feel like I'm back in control of my life. The pressure is gone.
You may be asking yourself why I hated this job. I hated it for two main reasons: 1) Either meet your sales quota or be put on audit duty, with no hope of ever making your quota again. And 2) I hated walking up to someone's house, not knowing their financial situation, and asking them about the services in their home. It felt like I was one of those Jehovah's Witnesses, asking someone about the status of their soul. I know some people don't mind showing off what they have, but what right do I have to knock on someone's door, telling them about a great deal they could get if they renounce their satellite and come back to the joy known as Cable?
Wow, run-on sentence.
Anyway, after Friday, I'll call TSI, ask for my old job of roleplaying back. Hopefully I can work more than a couple days a week. I'm willing to do clerical work and other stuff. They'll take me back.
Tonight I auditioned for Vpstart's production of "The Seagull". To my pleasant surprise, I found my good friend Double D from school, also auditioning! That just brightened my entire day a full shade. After the audition, we chilled, talking about theatre happenings.
It was a breath of fresh air, talking about what I love.
If being employed by Comcast has taught me anything, it's this: If you are not happy where you are, you need to get out. Life's too short to have a job that makes you miserable. Granted, I won't be making as much money, but at least I'll have my personality and my humor back. And I'll be doing what I love. Which is a beautiful thing.
Also, to get metaphorical here, I was listening to The Who on my way back from work. Their song "Join Together" came on. There was one line in there that really stuck out to me:
"It's the singer that makes the song."
Totally right. It's gotta be me who makes my goals and my dreams come to fruition, and I certainly was not doing that going door-to-door.
Once again, I feel like I'm in control of my life.
Hell yes.
