When you grew up....Rene
I realize that most have already responded to this, but this is the first day that my home computer has had internet in several weeks.....peace of shit!!
Anyway, here is my take......
I was just curious about people and their jobs.
How many of you are actually happy with your current working situation?
I am very happy since changing jobs in July. I am still not being paid what I thought I should make in the position or at this time in my life, but I'm sure I'm not the only one. Everyone wants to make more. Before, I was under paid, over worked, and under appreciated.... making the alarm clock in the morning a mortal enemy. And I even prayed for a job that would be best for me.... not one that I would bring in the big bucks or one that I would be so excited about, but one that I would enjoy and hopefully get paid enough to pay the bills. It was high time that happiness was more important! For this new job, I am grateful...I am good at it and it is keeping me challenged. So far, so good.....just the normal moans and groans of having a job.
How does your current job differ from what you thought grown up life would be like?
I thought at my age that I would be a college graduate with a husband and 2 kids to raise. Like Adam, 1 1/2 out of 3 isn't bad.... notice I said 1/2 because I did find a guy, I just can't get him to marry me. Anyway, my perception based on my family life was that the husband works for the "big bucks" and the wife works while the kids are in school so she can take care of the kids. I am now assuming that you have to get through this icky part of your life to achieve that grown up status. Who knew this part existed?
What did you want to be when you were growing up?
I'm not sure about this one.... when I was little, I wanted to be a princess! Then, I wanted to be a dancer.... ballet, Adam, not stripper! And on my way to college a smart pharmacist, and in college a feminist business woman, cruise line director for the travel, reporter or any job that I could be on TV.... dammit, what the hell do I want to be when I grow up?
Or is all this job bullshit a normal part of getting older and more mature?
Absolutely!! Sometimes I discover one more thing about myself that I can definitely say is me. And maybe the things that I realize about myself will help guide me in a career path and life that leads me to happiness.
All I know is, that growing up, I wanted to be spiderman. Now let's keep in mind that the possibility of getting bitten by a radioactive spider is slim, not to mention the fact that the only result would be a big ass spider bite and no super powers. Unless you call a giant cancerous spider bite "super".
