Get a job I enjoy and keep it

Interview Thursday! Wish me luck!

I received a call back from Public Allies and my interview is May 6th. I am very excited, but also nervous about the prospect of putting my children into someone else’s care. Wish me luck!

I want a job, but life is so hectic right now. I stay home with my two kids and my fiancee has horrible hours. He’s a driver for FedEx Freight, but with the economy, he is only able to work the dock which is a split shift. 5:00 am to 9:00 am. then back to work from 5:00 pm to 8:30 pm. So this cuts out my ability to work nights part time. I am also having trouble finding a typical 9 to 5 because the job market is so flooded right now. I am filling out an application for Public Allies, so wish me luck and if they have one in your area, check it out. Seems worthwhile and is a good way to get a little extra money for school.

I’d say i’m pretty content with the job I have now. I havent been here long but its the best job I have had so far. It doesnt pay much but for a 20 yr old going through college…i’m pretty content with my job. So i’ll say done on this :)

The problem is, as a young person, I don’t really know what it is that I truly want to do. I studied economics, so I wanted to be an economist, but my childhood dream of being an actress is still here,and more so, i wanna be famous. I’ve always thought i’d be in business. I guess I dream far too much and need to check in with reality, to find out, what is that I really enjoy doing, and start doing it.

I guess it could be worse. I’m just finishing my second week of training today and I don’t hate it…which is more than I can say for every other job I’ve ever had.

I’m a customer service rep for Gevalia coffee…basically, it’s just helping rich old people with their coffee-related dilemmas.

Something better will come along and I will probably leave here, but I don’t mind it. I’ll probably grow bored with it, but I don’t think that I can actually HATE it ever. It’s not a horrible enough environment.

with the ice cream cone? It’s so important to me, I drop it. I kind of do that with everything. With jobs, even if it’s not the best fit—my anxiety causes me to fuck it up. I honestly don’t know what I would be good at doing. I have some strengths but there are so many people out there who are better at what I can do than I am. I think one of my 43 things needs to be losing this depression.

I won’t recommend quitting your job you have before the one you want, but I did. After I was thinking “damn I really just did that” but I was too busy singing Gnarls Barkley to remember I had, lol. After that I started doing only what was working towards my Dream Job. Now I’m making money, not like I will, but I’m here and I’m happier than I was when I smelled plastic all day. It takes a lot to do that, but you can always take baby steps
