I’ve had several part time jobs since I was about 17 – I’ve done data entry, IT resume formatting for a recruitment agency, I’ve worked at 2 pet stores in an assistant manager role, done graphic design freelancing, and worked in multimedia development.
None of these have ever been a passion of mine so they’ve just been transitory things. Except perhaps the art thing – I enjoy that, but I find it difficult to view it as ‘a job’ and having to create art on demand for nitpicky clients is a little tiresome.
Since I found World of Warcraft any desire to be out in the workforce has completely dissipated and now I actually feel a little panicky about trying to re-enter it. I’m lucky that I have a caring husband who supports me but I don’t like feeling that I’m just a dependent.
I guess I’ll keep an eye out for something that might interest me. I find it impossible to stay in a job that I dislike as I just get more and more depressed and anxiety-ridden until I turn into a mess.
