February 05 Just sittin' at work...Just sitting here at work, wishing I could be anywhere else than where I am! Although I like my job, I know there is something else out there for me. It seems like I am still that lost college kid that is trying to decide what major they want to study! I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature and Technical writing and I still don't know what I want to do with it! I would like to write, but where is the money in that? Unless you are J.K. Rowling (of Harry Potter fame) or Danielle Steele or Jackie Collins, you might as well for get it! I am 33 years old and still don't know what I want to do when I grow up!
I have had several jobs that were completely different from each other, yet none of them left me feeling satisfied in what I was doing. I didn't feel like I was making a difference. Well, the job at Connect Child Care Resource & Referral, that was one of 2 jobs that I felt likeI was making a difference. I helped low-income families get financial assistance with their child care expenses. It was a really worthwhile job and I felt like I was actually helping people in the process. The other job that made me feel like I was making a difference was when I worked as an After-School Teacher at Good Shepherd Day Care. I was an After-School Teacher for the school-age children (Kindergarten thru 6th grade) and it was so fun being around those kids! We went to the pool, went bowling, roller-skating, hiking at Kanawha State Forest, went to the movies, Camden Park. We had a great time. During the school year, we had arts and crafts, we played games outside, we helped them with their homework. It was really a great time for all of us. I am getting teary-eyed just thinking back on all of the kids. I loved them like they were my own little brothers and sisters!
Well, I am getting way off track with this. I just wish I knew what I wanted to do, job wise. I would like to make good money, but enjoy my job a the same time. I don't care if I make a million dollars, if I don't enjoy what I am doing or if I hate my job, I don't want to do it. No matter what the pay is! Hopefully, if I pass this test with Verizon and get hired, I won't have to worry about money anymore. Verizon employees make VERY GOOD MONEY and I won't have to worry about money anymore. Anyway, I guess that's all I have time to write about tonight. I'm supposed to be doing some of my mail here at work. I'll try to updaste as often as I can. Sometimes I can ramble (my friends know all about this!) and I can get off course. So, until then.... Comments (2)
