Working TOO hard for the money

(**Disclaimer…just a little ranting and raving..)

Ah, the lovely joys of a job! Long hours, confusing new changes with little explanation, pile upon pile of paperwork… I am getting so fed up with my place of employment, I’ve daydreamed about just getting up and walking out. ‘Find someone else!’ I yell, pick up my purse and march out the front door, skipping and humming something victoriously (because I can’t whistle). And then I remember Christmas is coming up, and before that is Thanksgiving and they’re going to give me a couple paid days off, and well…Santa is probably not going to drop off all the stuff the princess wants. He didn’t show up last year, or the year before that, or…well, ya know, someone has to pay for Christmas.

I’m also apparently awaiting the arrival of the Job Fairy, who just hands you the most amazing job ever and we all live happily ever after. Not that I haven’t tried to find another decent-paying job, but I’ll need to be more active about it if I’m actually serious. But until then I suppose I will bitch, whine, moan and complain. Seriously though, after the holidays, I gotta find something!

I'm there with you. The want ads are a little lean right now. I keep thinking that even if I found another job, they would probably hire me in at the cheapest wage possible. Maybe I should stay where I am?

OMGoodness, that could EASILY totally be my post!! Ugh!! But, there are not a whole lot of jobs out there, so I deal. Each day wanting to drive my car off a cliff a little more. Okay okay, I kid... a little. I guess I am way too dramatic today. Anyway, thanks for the compliment about my hair. :) And stopping by!!
