We must endure hardness…
Right now this is how my life stacks up, I worked hard over 2 years at university to get my masters degree in communications – I achieved that but companies wont give me a look in as far as the communications jobs that I want. While doing that qualification I have been trying to get as much experience and development in my present job. Working in a call centre environment it can be hard with so many people fighting for things, it’s not helped by having a smaller department than most in my company. What gets to me more than anything about working where I am now is that it is widely acknowledged by managers and senior staff outside of my department alike that I’ve the talent and skills as well as the right attitude and work ethic to perform at a much higher level than I currently operate yet when the opportunities arise – people who finish lower than me on point in the overall interview/ assessment stages are getting pushed ahead of me into development for that higher level. I stayed quiet about it then have gotten vocal in frustration which probably didn’t help but to be fair when you’ve worked hard been up there with the best performers in the department only to have every possible door slammed in your face – you get sick of the pain. In due course with a bit of change to the mental attitude i.e. I’m getting out of here so be patient and of course a love interest, I’ve calmed down quite a lot and have started hitting targets in my weaker areas. My view is that if I try and stay happy then come interviews I’ll be relaxed enough to be at my best as I don’t do faking it very well.
I have had over a few months an ever present issue with a member of family who doesn’t like my choice of love interest per say and has kept chipping away at me for a while. It’s got to my core to the point where I’ve written several lyrical pieces about it – see previous blog “Does she have to be black”. Why should I find this person unattractive just because someone else doesn’t find her attractive- that’s my issue nobody else’s end of story.
Then this issue which I can only pray will be resolved asap is that I have 2 housemates in a three bedroom house which are leaving at the end of July and the landlord is trying to put the responsibility on me as to finding new tenants. They are trying to pull the you’ve signed a contract for 6 months so you have to honour it- however I am of the understanding that you only need to give 30 days notice to exit the agreement. Life changes, people change, jobs change, if your in the UK and you get a job in the US why are you going to stay in the UK paying rent for a place you’ll never return to its wrong. The agency who rent out the place tell me they only let places which are empty. The way they phrased is if to say – the housemates should not abandon me but I think all they are trying to do is protect their income stream – power without responsibility
