grindin' it out
I have officially been working full-time for one week now. Happy Birthday to me. This is the first year I've had to do anything on my birthday (other than maybe an hour or two of summer school) and I must say I don't like it one bit. I'm already starting to get fed up with my job, mainly because as an intern I did all the brainless, boring, clerical, "let's give it to the intern" bs...and now that I'm a full-time worker that's pretty much what I do all day long....for ten hours a day. It makes me want to throw myself out the window. The main problem is the Bill Jones campaign is so unknown there are no volunteers willing to come in and do the filing/data entry...so guess who it gets pushed off on? That's right, me! I already bought myself a CBEST study book and if things don't get better soon (pay-wise and work-wise) I think it'll be time to move on. I went to college for a reason dagnabit, I want to use my brain! I do want to stay at least until the election though.
The more I think about it the more this job makes me want to be a teacher. You get to do meaningful work (hopefully as a high school econ/gov teacher I could teach the children of tomorrow about a little thing I like to call "common sense")...compared to what I'm making now the pay is fabulous (not to mention I'd get benefits too, which I don't get at all right now despite my sh*tty pay)....school gets out in the early afternoon whereas I have to work ten or more hours a day (ten hours would be a short day for me actually)...and I'd get three months off in the summer to bartend and play and enjoy my birthday, instead of doing filing/data entry in an office for 10 hours and begging to be let off early so I can meet P for a birthday dinner.
Yes, in almost every way, teaching beats the job I have now. And people think teachers are underpaid...if they only knew.
But I guess I shouldn't be complaining too much since I'm writing this from my terminal at work =) I just really want to do something at work that is beyond the capabilities of a well-trained monkey.
