Where has Question of the Day gone? I miss it! I found one yesterday, maybe I just haven't seen todays.
I hope it doesn't die. I'll keep asking questions!
Today is Friday, as mentioned in previous blogs, and I couldn't be happier about it. I need a break. I need the weekend to think about what I am going to do. I am making 1/3 of what others with my job are making and I am working my ass off. Do I stay and wait it out. Do I see if I reap benefits come the time when I take over? Will it come, will it be 5 years? Will I have to wait 20? Should I tell them I want to only work 4 days a week and then get a bartending job on Fri-Sat-Sun to make up the cash? Just until this great happening shall occur? Do I look for another job?
I am so lost about this. If you sick of hearing about my job, sorry. I am craving a smoke and I don't have any so instead I am just gonna blog. It's better for my health, I think. I really wish I knew what to do. I know I could go somewhere else and find a job, but it's the starting over that sucks. I am comfortable here. It is close to home, I know if something comes up and I need a day off it's no big deal. I still have benefits, and I have a 401K that started in January.
I am always scared of change. I hate change. But if that is my only reason for not looking for another career, than I am settling? Am I being a wimp? I honestly don't know.
This is the weekend homework, figure out the next 5 years. Where do I want to be, what do I want to be doing, how much do I want to be paid, and at what cost to my freedom and personal relationships? I don't want to be like my dad, a work-a-holic who missed out on everything becuase he worked 4am to 10pm everyday of my life.
But I also want to be comfortable enough that I don't worry that if something were to happen would we have the cash to cover it? I want to be able to spend on frivilous things and not feel guilty and then pinch pennies for a while afterwards! I am sure that everyone feels the stress of money, but lately it is the only thing on my mind. I know that I can't just sit back and hope to win the powerball. I have to take action. But what action?
