I don't understand these people who bitch, moan and complain about their jobs and say that they 'hate' it ... but they aren't doing anything about it. They are afraid to leave the 'safe' zone of what they know.
We are at an all time high need for employees in just about every area that I've seen. There are help wanted signs everywhere you look! If you are afraid to make the move to a better place and the possibility of happiness, then SHUT UP! Find another way to release your frustrations! You no longer have an excuse to bitch! No, cowardice is not an excuse!
I had a very good job. I even developed the position into something big and important. Staff and customer alike liked me very much. (And not just for my buxom form!) But I knew I could be making better money. So I took the plunge. I made sacrifices. I beggared myself and had to borrow alot more than I liked. Those student loans don't give you nearly enough. I got alot of support from family. Mostly moral, but alot of the other stuff too ... money and food and free laundry. I was out of town and living with immature strangers (I was on a college campus.)
Luckily, it was only for three months. I have a fantastic job now. It wasn't just a career change, but a lifestyle change for me, but I think it was worth it! I've even taken what I've learned and practised and taken steps to going into business for myself. I had to make another sacrifice, but I think I'll be better for it in the end.
Okay, on to better things. Rant over.
I finally got another chapter of my fanfic up. I'm very pleased with this. Not my best chapter, but I've already had one review on it and I'm told that it's still up to snuff. Hopefully, I'll get it done soon (one or two ore chapters to go) and then I can move on to other projects. I'll also be tidying up what I've already done and placing them in safe keeping for the Con next year. I'm going to present my work to the "pros" who will tell me my work stinks - ^_^; but will hopefully find a good bit or two that show promise. It's a thankless job, really, but I don't know that I could stop if I wanted to. I have two original pieces that I'd like to get published into a real book.
If you are curious about my works, please ask. I don't mind sharing.
I plan on getting some crafts done too. There's lots of opportunity to sell it in the area that I am now. No more trying to get tables amidst other tables full of garage sale items. Here is my chance to create the basis of the Annual sale that I was trying to get off the ground last summer.
So much opportunity ...
Kinda makes my head spin, actually. Or is that my hair colour?
Not much else happening right now. I'm getting along with my mother-in-law fairly well, but it's still a cautious dance for me. She's just very foreign to me still. She doesn't understand my humour, and sometimes I think she laughs in self-defence. But I appreciate the fact that she's trying. I've adjusted to her fairly quickly, but I don't pretend that I know her fairly well yet. That'll take time.
I wonder how much?
Goddess, save me ...
Sweet Dreams!
