Life in General...
Hi Everyone~
Been awhile since I've written, and I know that most of my posts are pretty negative...well at least the last few. What is up with that? :P
Well, sofar my job at Strategic Asset Services as a Client Specialist is going a little better. I'm not nearly as stressed as I was for my first 3 orders of 100. Its funny now I have 218 I need to work with and I'm not nearly as worried about deadlines. Its not that the job has gotten better or easier. Hardly. I've just entered in the "Fuck it" stage. You know when you've struggled and worked so hard but gotten nothing in return that your just liked "ahh well fuck it," and you kinda take a half ass approach to it. Well I've been doing that lately, and I feel much better. Mind you I'm still working my ass off at work. ~But~ I'm not taking my work home after work... or taking it with me over the weekend. I used to put in 8-9 hour days on the weekend just so I could get the work done early...and reduce my stress (that didn't work)...with this job, after your done with one order, there is another bigger one looming. So right now my only complaint is the Team Leaders, who are in charge of the inspectors in the field. All I get from some of them in push back. Now I didn't even know what Push back was until this job... I've never been at a job were people actually don't try to do their job even when they are orded to... LAME
My eye is infected again! I had a pretty severe eye laceration in June which turned into a major infection. I saw 2 different doctors who said it was an eye infection. I mean it was very swollen and hurt but the eye specialist told me that it was a major inspection. Far worst than the first two doctors were leading on. I guess that was better...since I would have paniced or something. Bad news is that this bacterial strain will flare back up with the use of my contacts. So I haven't been wearing my contacts for 3 months to prevent it. Last weekend I decided to wear them...and now my eye is swollen and gunky...like before. Gross. So I have to go to the Doctor again today... blah... at least i have health insurance now.
Dave and I are on a 1 year plan to save up money to buy a condo or townhouse. Plus he's on a 3 month plan to move out of his house and into an apartment. I am in no rush to move out of my parent's house. I do like living rent free and only having 3 bills to pay. Its funny because I remember saying when I was 18 I told my parents to kick me out if I was 23 and still at home. LOL Still here.
We did go apartment shopping on saturday and we found out that we both like in Irvine for $1710. Expensive I know...but we've decided we would gladly pay a little more for the location and the amenities. The woman who showed us around (Susan Kim) was wonderful and hilarious. We found out pretty early on that we both went to UCI and started gabbing away. Great gal!
Anyhoo, I have decided that I want to work in the press industry. After working at SAS (and speaking to Susan Kim) I realized that I want to do something that I have a passion for. Both Susan and I discussed that after graduating we both got obsessed with making money that we both jumped into our jobs, and now that the afterglow of making money has worn out...we both are unhappy with our jobs. Mostly because it has nothing to do with our majors. We have no interest in it. So after talking about it with each other on this apartment tour, she's going to go back to school to become a teacher to teach english. I'm going to take a wack at the media industry...hopefully something to do with cars. Its amazing how much your life can change just talking to a stranger...and its crazy how a total stranger can be going through the same stuff.
Go figure.
Have a great day people! Stay positive.
