Welp, here we are over a year later. My last post was on June, 27th 2014. I am the ultimate procrastinator and I tend to give things up all too easily. This past January I interviewed for my first second job, which was pretty exciting. Right up until I figured out hated it. It was a catering job and my bosses knew when they hired me that I had NO experience in the field. I was expecting to be trained a little on the tasks I would be given but instead I was thrust into the job without any knowledge of what I was doing, armed with only the words of my boss,"oh , just use common sense, you'll do fine". That was no comfort at all. I needed lists of things to do, with directions and times to have them done by. Not flighty words, with little to no meaning for someone new to the field. Basically what they wanted for me to do was interpret what the needed done. My brain DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY. I was employed by them for a total of 6 months, but really only worked for them 3 times. THREE. OVER THE COURSE OF SIX MONTHS. I could go on and on with the issues I had with that job, but I'll end my lil' rant here.
I guess the point of this was to convey to myself,(since literally the only person reading this is me) is that you should always try to do what makes you happy. Why waste your valuable time doing something that doesn't spring you out of bed every morning? I didn't feel happy working for that company, and even though conflict makes me queasy, I still bucked up and gave my notice of resignation. It made me sad, because I truly wanted to enjoy it, and then it made me angry that my bosses weren't all they said they were. But now I know what I don't want out of life. I want to have fun, I want to be my own boss, and set my own rules.
As I proof read this, my rant certainly sounds like I'm a pretentious, whiny,asshole, with no hard-work ethic. I'm sorry if I come off that way. But the way I see it is, most people spend years working a job they hate just to get by. They waste their lives away, and die unhappy. The way we live our lives is a choice. No one can choose a path for you. I want to wake up excited to start the day, and that job didn't give me that feeling. And so I continue on my path. Plain and simple. :-)
