i vow not to work anymore office jobs until i have to

Aug 14, 2001 15:23

the heading says it all. i figure that i have the rest of my entire life to work a boring, monotonous office job, so why start now esp. when i can do more exciting things like work at jamba juice? or perhaps even a cute, little, upscale independent cafe located in the heart of the Castro district?
i use to work to make money. after a year of not working at all because i was to picky about wages, i realized that working isn't always about the money. it's also about gaining experience. i figure that if i held out for a higher paying job, i could make up for all those hours that i didn't work. in the end, the higher paying job never came and i ended up wasting my freshman year of college, not working and not making any spending money. i was literally ,and still am, a bum living off my parents for an entire year and more.
i don't like it. even though work is work, i miss putting in hours of hard work, cleaning up rind and grime (sp?) and getting a financial reward (aka paycheck)after 2 weeks of back-breaking labor (ok, i'm exaggerating, but it's the same idea).
i'm really bummed that i don't get to intern for this author/photographer because she requires a 2-month commitment, but i might try for it anyhow cuz it seems really interesting. she's got some really cool stuff check it out: www.shehynphoto.com
and there was another really cool photography gig, but he's in oakland. dammit! the photography world is against me.
anyways, i'm ready to reenter the work force and get an exciting job now. i'm going job hunting and picking up applications from stores as soon as i can get my sleepy ass to wake up before 12 in the afternoon one of these days. i have a newly written resume for baritas jobs. job market, here i come! wish me luck,folks.
