arliss to name five things and she gave me: Work Videos Family Fun Fiction
I'm a little late on this and I may just get to work and videos tonight.
Work.
Which makes me think about my job and various jobs I've had and where I thought I would be in my life when I was younger. I thought I would have a Career. Something, perhaps, bookish -- maybe librarian or who knows a proferssor of some kind. But that means college and I haven't finished that (Someday, perhaps, someday). Instead I've worked a variety of retail and office jobs and am currently a Receptionist (although my boss says it's in name only I do much more). I really like my job. A lot. Oh, sure, there are times with long periods of boredom only broken up with an odd person calling and then a flurry of jobs, also usually boring, but still important. But my job is important, I'm the Gateway into the phone system, and I'm the Voice people hear. I'm the one who answers questions and tries not to get upset and wants to know as much as I can so I don't sound like a fool.
Plus people talk in front of me or I'm todl about phone calls to make sure someone gets, or a fax that comes, or sometimes someone needs to vent and I'm there. But it's a good job, low stress. I go to work at 8:30, I come home at 4:30 and I leave my work at work. Right now that's exactly what I need and it's about all I want to do.
The other thing I think of when "work" is mentioned is .. I'm rather lazy. I am, which is why my place is always a mess and I put things off and put things off. I don't know if I'm just lazy because it's a flaw or there's something where I just can't get my self together and go. I'm distracted, I'm flighty, I don't have Direction and , right now I lack structure. And I really perfer to have structure. I would never want to be In Charge, I suck at that part, but being the Support I'm good at. I wonder sometimes about my future...will I go to school, will I have a career, is it so bad if I just have a job I like and then find ways to fill my spare time doing things I enjoy and making a mark somewhere.
I mean, right now I make more money than I ever have before, I've got a nice place to live, a good job, and if I were smarter with my money and followed a budget, I'd be a little bit ahead.
I think I'll leave it at Work for now and wait and finish the others tomorrow.
