(note to self. make next post more optimistic and less cranky.)
Lately I’ve been working a lot. It’s Christmas and everyone wants drinks. Or at least they’re supposed to. It’s actually been quite quiet. But anyway, I have discovered something about my job that I didn’t really expect. It’s boring. I mean SO. BORING. And not like “read a book” boring, because that would be fun. Like “stand behind the counter and scan items for eight hours” boring. I never considered quitting a job purely based on boredom before, but now I fantasise about it all the time. Seriously, how can people do retail? It’s just the same thing over and over.
I’m now looking forward to teaching more than ever. It’s hard, and unlike dispensing drinks you get no thanks for it, but at least it’s interesting.
Anyway, in other news, I have lots of money.

Yep. That’s the feeling I used to get from Timezone. You might be lucky and develop a kind of numbness to it like I did; got me through 3 1/2 years in that joint. Even if it did feel the entire time like it was more like “The Joint”.

Oh I totally know where yo’ure coming from. I did almost 4 years at Target. Now I can never ever go back there to shop because I still hate it so much. The only thing that gets you through is knowing that it’s not a forever job, and that you’re being paid. Ride it out til the teaching job comes to you, it’s way better than being broke as a joke.
