Okay, so obviously I'm not writing as much as I used to. And for that I am sorry. But that is the only apology that you are going to get from me, because it's my blog. Damnit. And I will write when I can.
Life has gotten a little crazier. That job that I was so excited that I got? I hate it. It's 8 hours of total boredom. I sit at a desk on a chair with no padding and do 8 hours worth of work in 2 hours, which leaves me 6 hours to invent crap to do. Today I retyped a six page contract just because I felt like it would be more fun than putting the title into an advanced computer search. I couldn't tell if this fact amused my boss or annoyed him, because he has a face of stone. He's not the guy I don't care for though. My boss is actually a nice guy, he's just one of those men that you're pretty sure has never smiled in his life. He says 3 sentences over the course of a day, and you wonder how he got the job of company CEO in the first place. However, today he gets a pass, because one of those 3 sentences was "Wake up." (demon words to my ears at 8:00AM, I assure you.) -he got me coffee. Now, it was dirt-like coffee from McDonalds while he was picking up my other coworker (long story) but still, it was a nice guesture.
My job is to rent buildings. Write up contracts. Answer phones. Make photo copies. At any other company it would seem that I was at the bottom of the food chain, but here at this job these are the exciting tasks. If something needs to be copied, I jump for the chance to move around the office. I'm not even sure why they hired me, to be honest. But a job is a job, and I just got paid today. So I will quit bitching. I will find a better job soon.
As a matter of fact, I actually interviewed for a new job on my lunch break. (I know, I'm a dirty whore of an employee. Interviewing for other jobs while I am, in fact, working an 8 hour shift.) But I have no shame, because the job that I interviewed for would be awesome, it's super flexible, part time, tons of fun, lots of working with kids and adults and talking and all good stuff. Teaching people leadership skills and communication. And guess what -I GOT THE JOB! Yay me!!! Now I am working 3 jobs... and when my seasonal job roles around in February... well, I'll probably have to let one of my jobs slide. And if I have to do it by fun meter, I will have to let my contract-writing-desk-sitting-building-renting job go. But I will be able to suck it up and take it like a man in the meantime. Hopefully. As my dad always says, it is better to have too much work and just enough money, than no job and not enough money. One day I will be able to work less and make more, but I have more dues to pay.
So now, lots of praying, lots of working, lots of hoping, lots of trying to squeeze in some quality time with my amazing fiance. I don't know how he manages to put up with my crap, my crazy schedule, and love me all at the same time. I am truly blessed.
God bless you all, have a thankful November.
Love,
Alice
