I HATE MY JOB! Yes I do. Recently I was on you tube and ran across a number of vlogs titled I Hate My Job. They were people from all walks of life and I found it to be quiet profound and relative to myself. Everyone had their reasons, from the job itself sucked to horrible co-workers not to mention the unpleasantness of dealing with the public, oh and did I mention being paid as if you are a teenager with a summer job, ridiculous. In my past blogs I have complained about my currant job and I was trying to be grateful to have something since supposedly something is better than nothing. Well that was and is a bunch of "BHOOKEY." I can no longer fake the funk of being grateful for not being able to sufficiently support myself my shear survival is at stake. I wake up every morning to go to a job that is so driven by slave labor instead of staying home and Putting my valuable time and efforts to finishing my first novel and that just pisses me off to no end.The only bright spot about the job is the people that I work with, I have formed some longlasting friendships.
I HATE MY JOB....REALLY!
Now one might say "why not get another job?" Are you crazy in today's world finding a decent job with good benefits is a thing of the past. I am putting forth my efforts into finishing my book and making my life the way i need it to be I am going after my Dream. Which is what I heard from most of the vloggers on You Tube they have finally seen the light. Last week I turned the big 5-0 and everyone who knows me was astounded that I was still in Baltimore and not out of the country celebrating my milestone. Well I had to tell the truth I could not afford it plain and simple. It gulls me that I spend so much of my time working a job to make someone else's dream come true and send them and their families on wonderful vacations and help them to have a charmed life when all of my hard labor gets me crap, what is wrong with this picture? Well I do know that this is temporary and soon it will end. But the suffering is unbearable.
Do you know that about 70% of all Americans hate their jobs and the small amount that love their jobs are those who are truly doing what they love, you know the saying if you love what you do then it is not work well that is them. And then you have the ones who are gluttons for punishment and too afraid to admit the truth. I say set yourself free and be all that you can be, all that you want to be. As Oprah has said "we get so caught up in chasing a pay check that we forget about our dreams" she is so right we all have dreams and aspirations. I have never ever wanted to work for someone else but I did what I had to do, I had a growing family but I will tell you that I hated every single second of it. But I hung in there for twenty years and by that time I had had enough it was time to move on. So I started pursuing my dream of writing. But money ran out and I had to take the horrible piece of shit that I now have. The only good thing about it is it's motivational. I look at my co-workers and so many of them feel the same way that I do but unlike me they don't know what else to do. A few has seen the light and are putting forth efforts to control their own destinies.
So as I sit here on a Sunday afternoon watching my beloved Baltimore Ravens win over the Cleveland Browns I think about the uniforms that I have to wash for tomorrow and I say fuck it I don't feel like it I refuse to put any energy into a job that I care nothing about. I can ware one of those shirts one more day without being offensive. I am putting my time today into working on my project. It's all about me. I am so glad that I have had a chance to vent to say how I really feel. I HATE MY JOB I HATE MY JOB I HATE MY JOB oh did I say I HATE MY JOB? lol. Anyway whatever you choose to do be true to yourself and make the right choices for you and your future remember it's all about you. Till next time drea D.
