Look for me to blog more often I need to get back into the swing of things. Maybe if I focus on getting some other stuff done (e.g: new layout, SOTM, the awards site lol) I can get some inspiration. Ive been wanting to get some paid blogs done again as well. Need to pay a bill or two LOL anyway.. hopefully I’ll be around more now. Nonetheless, here’s todays’ rant.
I think I made a mistake.
See I’m excited about my new job, well no that’s a lie. Let me be truthful. I already hate my new job. I’m ashamed to say. I’m happy to have a job, and I’m excited about what the future will hold, but I already dread Monday’s arrival. And more then ever, in any other job, I am totally, totally, lacking any confidence in my abilities. I was only trained for 2 days. 2 DAYS? what is that? Now, I know sometimes you got to learn things on your own but to do this big of a job and only be trained 2 days, isn’t quite fair I think, but that is just me. Nonetheless, I’m expected to be and do EVERYTHING on my own come Monday! You’ve got to be kidding me. I seriously want to cry. I don’t feel I am up to par in any way, shape, or form for this job. I feel under-qualified. Not that it is a hard job, I believe once I get the hang of it, I’ll be perfectly OK. It’s just I have this constant nagging feeling within myself, Is it worth it? that is the question that keeps running through my mind.
I’m not so sure.
I guess the thing that bugs me the most is that really, I’m being thrown into something head-first. Expected to survive without a life jacket. Yeah, that’s life, I understand. I being the neurotic person that I am, taking my time to learn, and PERFECT the things I do, can’t help but feel like I’m being thrown into an all out war, and I HATE that feeling! I almost feel like I’m being thrown to the wolves and if I survive then great, if I don’t then I’m out of a job. I do not in any way feel “safe” or “comfortable” and that’s what is throwing me I think. I hate it. I’m seriously worried.
I saw the car I want today. I made the trip down to the dealership to see it. I swear, hands down, it’s the only thing making me excited about anything in life right now. It’s so beautiful. I want it even more, but is my 6 hour a day - 5 days a week struggle worth $16-20,000? maybe! it probably is. My mind seems to be set. I want it, and as time goes by I am SLOWLY convincing myself that I am willing to “suffer” a few years to have it, but I’m not FULLY of that mind frame, just yet. I mean maybe it wont be so hard if I can have time to settle in and get into a groove at this place, but somehow, all I keep thinking about is how I want to cry because I feel like I’m never going to get it, let alone fit in with that whole place. I’m really sad about it all. I had such high hopes and now I just feel totally blah.
There is so much to learn and so many coffee’s to remember. So many other details, my jobs are just so overwhelming. There are a million and one details that I need to do and remember, not to mention all the emotion of just getting a job and trying to do the best I can under the circumstances, etc.. etc.. I want to cry.
6am is killing me with only one car!!! when I need to be up at 3am to take my mom to her own job, specially on those nights when I can’t fall asleep till after 11pm. I just want to die. That is why the idea of a new car is the ONLY thing making me think this job is worth it, and to me that is sad. It’s heartbreaking. I almost feel materialistic. It sucks.
Le sigh.. I know it doesn’t have to be so hard, but I tend to dwell. It’s going to be what kills me one day, I truly believe that. I just don’t want to be lame, and give up so quickly. I want to give it a shot, It’s such a privilege to work for such a cool company, (I’m sure most of you have heard of it
) but I don’t know if it’s worth it. I really don’t. I guess time will tell. I just don’t want dreams of mine to fade because of my inability to suck it up. Ugh, I’m such a pansy.
