Who hates their job already?

Me!

I swear I might not be meant for work. I was disappointed with this job right away but held out hope because it was training. There still exists annoying co-workers and bad management. I have also learned about a question I should ask during the interview. What are the policies for meal breaks and breaks in general?

I worked a 10 hour shift today that started at 5am. I took like 20 minutes in breaks and a co-worker gave me a hard time about it. That is all legal in Arizona. I want to work for a company that respects me. So bad. I do better with food. I have problems because working with people all day drains me and doing routine things drains me. I need variety. If I do not get variety than I need breaks.

So I proclaim:

I am looking for a job that needs a degree and pays at least 30,000. I will work on my resume and cover letters. I will try harder than ever before.

End of proclaim

I want to travel and be away so bad. I will do what I have to do to make that dream come true.

Valetine's update

Today feels like Sunday. I have to work tomorrow at 5:30am so it means I will be going to bed in like 13 minutes. There will not be much to talk about my job because I dislike it. I thought I disliked serving because the management was bad at Old Spaghetti Factory. Apparently I do not like management in restaurants period. I still like serving people but there is more to it than that.

I like serving people. I need to analyze why that it is and put it in my notes for when I'm looking for the career I want. Romantic relationships are like careers. There is not just one out for you but a great one is still not common.

This job also does not pay enough. It pays the same as the jobs I had in the past, but I have changed. I have dreams with deadlines. I wanted to own a condo and be traveling by May 2010. That is unreasonable. The current goal is still to own a condo in about a year or so. It will take some time to get renters and it all set up. During this time, I will also look for programs where I can teach English in other countries so I can live some where and earn money to travel more. I will also look for a job that pays better around 30,000 because that is the money I need to be making to achieve the dream.

I play tons of facebook games. I practice my bass but not enough. I do not clean my room. I do take LuDog to the dog park.

I love writing. I'm struggling with the latest poem. It has to be titled, "New Strain of Intelligent Acne discovered." I'm struggling because I'm not writing it. My last poem I wrote a bit and I was thinking about it constantly. This one not so much. I believe I'm overthinking it. The one after that is to start the poem with a fact and go. I'm excited for that one. I will be posting "The Park" soon. It has taught me to be more confident in my writing. I do not write "I believe" and "I think" as much. I also assume that things flow because I wrote them.

I enjoy Valetine's Day. I'm a bit bummed that I did not get anyone any Valetine's cards. Cheesy ones with dogs and princess stating that we are best friends. I have no problem with being single. I enjoy it so, but I'm slightly looking. I just have to detach dating with long term relationship. I so do not want the last one that at times I cannot even think of dating.

Off to iron.
