Gwynneth is starting to feel more optimistic.
This goal is dependent on my first getting pregnant and successfully delivering the baby….
Because of this fact, I have to admit that this goal has made me much more stressed about my goal of getting pregnant.
Therefore, I’ve moved this goal way, way down to the bottom of the list.
I have two weeks left until I leave…cos I have already handed my notice in. It’s absolute torture…I work a shitty construction job I hate. We are talked to like dogs, they mess with our pay, we only have a 20 minute break at 9am then a 30 min break at 1pm and are forced to work 6.30am to 5pm, they make us do the shittiest stuff to fill time, cos much of the time there is nothing to do. They go on about health and safety when they want to reprimand us, but made me and a colleague walk up a 400m underground pipe with no fan blowing for air and nothing what said about it. How can I last the next two weeks? I pulled a muscle in my back this weekend and thought it would earn me a Monday of recovery, but it’s neatly cleared up in time for tomorrow morning which means I can’t go to the doctor as we need a doctors certificate for even one day off!
2 weeks…...it’s gonna be a long 2 weeks
Goldenpaperclip is thinking about my life goals
I would like to just do online teaching and real estate, that kind of stuff so that I do not have to waste my life away in an office. If I could get a house on a lake with an internet connection and be able to teach online, that would be stinkin cool.
i hate my job. it brings me no joy and i’ve zero motivation to keep going. i’m stuck here until i find another job to replace it. this also makes me feel guilty coming to work and not giving it 100%. i want this to end…
i hate my job. it brings me no joy, no happiness, no fulfillment. it makes me miserable, and i spend most of my days daydreaming about over-the-top ways to quit.
JenerationS thinks a lot about how to get out of her job and this office.
I still work there two days a week, and am taking classes online towards an illustration degree and attempting to freelance. It’s a little of a financial struggle but completely and totally worth it. I feel like I own my life again.
But I Love taking photographs way more!
I want to be my own boss, make my own rules, keep my own schedule and do my own thing. I want to serve new customers, fulfill their needs, schedule photoshoots around their time tables and capture their portraits in a way only I can.!
It took five years of working toward it, but finally making enough writing combined with wife’s job to do it full time. Kicks ass, but you definitely have to stay on yourself about setting schedules and keeping motivated.

I think this is going to happen soon. I cannot take it anymore. I hope that freelancing will bring in enough money to pay my rent, I guess I’ll find out soon enough.
