Rambling about money and work
Sometimes I miss cutting sandwiches and burning my arms with chemical products while cleaning a greasy oven.
And a job where never ending hiccups would not have forced me to call in sick.
I hate working as a customer service representative in a call center. Regarding cellphones. Yeah, you've got 'good' (for something that doesn't need experience!) salary, possibility of switching shifts, adding shifts, adding 18$ an hour overtime. Pleasant collegues. Far from all the problems that brought me to leave my previous job which gave me basically no hours, no money, no respect, an hour from home and no car (depending on other people). Only took my 'manager' to yell at me one day for a reason he had invented (was mad I asked for the weekend off for the first time in the years I'd been there) to leave without notice.
It's just... Some people can't handle tension, hateful and disrespectful people, right? It just happens that last sentence describes me completely? And here I am, taking calls from pissed off people who just let themselves go when they're not face to face to someone. I thought it would be bearable for someone like me, thought I'd take a year or too off to work 40 to 50 hours a week making lots of money and savings. Thought I'd maybe fix that old car of mine too.
Now I here I am, doing nothing, just looking into deciding to go back to school something I'd like even just a bit. Something that is in NEED of people. I'm just one of those people who have a LOT of hobbies and things they like and/or are interested in. Kind of hard to choose what to study in then. And I hate wasting time...
A life without money would be fun sometimes, just only for a few months, to relax and relieve the stress.
Or maybe I just need a kick in backside so I'll start 'doing what I gotta do' instead of complaining that I want to do what I want, that will come after. In time.
Love the new LJ cut by the way. Wasn't like this waaayy back when I was here :) Used to mess those up so much!
