People doing this are also doing these things:

day job
3 years ago
i now have a full-time, 9-5, mon-fri, genuine day job.
i don’t love it, but i don’t hate it. there the definite possibility of a ‘career’ in this industry, but i’m not sure if i want to pursue it yet.
nigel has got me doubting my job vs study choices, and therefore i’m all confuzzled and unsure about what i want and what i should do with my life. so there’s a possibility that i’ll chuck this in and go to uni and get a useless degree in creative writing, or give up my unattainable dream of being a writer and begrudgingly become a financial planner.

hmm, well. i don’t hate it, though i’m not sure if i really like it either. the people are (mostly) nice, the office is nice, the pay is ok. the work is easy enough and i don’t mind it, reception and answering the phone aren’t nearly as bad as i expected.
but the more i think about what i’m actually doing the less keen i am; we make money off other people’s money. yes, sure; we provide a service that possibly wouldn’t be there otherwise, and these people are better off for it, but it’s not like building a house or growing vegetables or making beautiful art.
there isn’t that kind of . . . satisfaction in it.
full-time job

phew, it took me ages to find a full-time job. but i finally procurred one on wednesday and i start on monday 30th jan.
office junior with a financial planning company near the city (not in the CBD, but close-by). it’s a very-entry level job; they don’t expect me to know much at all, and since that’s true it’s a good thing.
i don’t know if i’ll like it, but i don’t think i’ll hate it. the people seem nice, the office is nice, the pay is nice.

i finally have a job. it’s casual stocktaking, and while it’s obviously temporary because this is the busy time, it’s a job that i won’t hate. it’s a job i can do and i don’t have to be friendly, bubbly, happy etc [i am none of those things – and thus it was difficult to find a job].
so . . . it’s a step in the right direction.
