It's Friday, thank the good Lord above.
This past couple weeks have been somewhat stressful for me because of a multitude of things but I'll try to name a few....I have heard through the grapevine that some folks here at my job don't think I have enough to do...well what do they know (I am typing this blog currently on my job, shame on me...) Maybe they're right, but my boss know this, she knows she can't always keep me busy and I try to find things to do....But NOW I have people from other departments calling me and asking for help and bringing me things to work on. So now I know that the grapevine talk is true. I just ran into someone in the hall who said to me "you're lucky, I wish I had to look for things to do" That to me is not luck, knowing how everyone sees you in your workplace, like you are the one with nothing to do...Which is why I have started looking for a new job.
SO sad too, I love my boss and I wish I could continue being happy, but now I find myself looking over my shoulder and not feeling comfortable at work. That's not where I want to be. I look around and see people who are really passionate about their jobs and this school and what they are doing daily. I have NEVER had that. I am looking for my niche. The things I am passionate about are my family and friends, my health, my home...all things outside of work. But I figure, as long as I have to work for that paycheck, I need to be passionate about what I'm doing from 8-5. Which is why, I am searching for a position in the field that my degree is in. Health Education...and if you know me..this makes sense, this should be my niche. Or even something creative, but lets face it, artistic endeavors don't always pan out and can be pricey on the upstart. So...wish me luck.
Another stressor right now is money...so many commitments and new bills have arisen. I don't even feel like going into it now, it will just further my anxiousness..so for now, I'll just say THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY. Keep the car in the driveway and save money..those are the weekend plans, and that sounds good to me ;)
I feel the same way.. I haven't been happy at my job in forever and its just that.. a job.. not a career.. i suppose one day we'll get to where we are supposed to be..until then.. we keep praying and playing on facebook lol.
