The Worst Day

In my last journal entry written last Thursday, I was only hours away from the second half of certifying at my new job. This second half, a live demonstration of what I've learned so far, was scheduled for Thursday-night. Sure enough, a trainer manager showed up and the "demo" began. He didn't ask any difficult questions and all he seemed to be

I'm so sorry this job is bumming you out!! I've had some moments like as well - believe me, I can relate... Maybe you need to get out of the Portland area and make a fresh new start, say 300 miles south? I bet there's a nice new world waiting for YOU and you don't even know it. ;-) Miss ya!

You know, Matt sent me a listing for a job in Ashland. I sent my resume in and we'll see what happens. My brother is contemplating a blind-move to California and wants me to come with. Could you believe that? LA? Me? Blows my mind. Maybe that's what I'll do with this stack of cash I'm amassing...

That was messed up and unprofessional of them to leave you unattended, especially being a new employee. I know it was hard and very stressful for you, Adam, but at the same time, I'm proud of you for hanging in there. You're doing serious work there, and they need to continue to provide you with support. I hope that as time goes on, that like you said, it'll get better and you'll laugh at how difficult it was when you began. I hope I feel that way too about my own job.

Yea, this event was a little crazy and disappointing, but I realized I can't have my hand held forever. I'm not working at this place to make friends; I'm there to make piles of money to survive on and find that perfect job before moving on. As cold hearted as it is, I keep my distance from people because I know one day I'll up and leave after all their hard work training me. But I guess that's how all jobs go, when you think about it.
