I probably shouldn't. But guess what: Meh.
So, I've been working at a call center again, as some of you know:
Liberty Medical
(DIABEETUS)
I respect the company, and what I do for the company...
But it's starting to feel like it can't last.
I know that in a beggar's economy, almost nobody gets to be a chooser... buuuut I can hardly afford my apartment. Each paycheck, I am lucky if it breaks the 600.00 mark, I suppose it's partly (or maybe mostly) thanks to the insurance selection I made, which is taking about a hundred off the top of each paycheck, pre-tax. Yowch! At least the copays are good.. when I can afford them.
It's weird though: I feel like, for the work that I am doing, I am actually being paid fairly. It's more like... I need a different kind of work entirely. It feels like treading water, y'know?
GOD I wish I could get employed at an architectural firm again. That was so nice. Jesus, look at me, pining back to early 2007 like Uncle Rico stuck in his football-playing past.. I need to go back to school. I haven't even booted up AutoCAD to a serioius extent in well over a year, and I've been too busy to do so.
If only I had enough inspiration to draw more, too--if I were capable of taking commissions, that'd take a nice tidy chunk of my financial burden off...
My mate's (yes, she's my mate now :3) artistic skill has REALLY taken off. She's vastly surpassed me XD I almost feel intimidated. But more likely, I just feel honored <3 I'm a humble person by nature. Where most guys get suspicious about why such an amazing gal would ever bother being with them, I'm just incredibly grateful.
Anyway, It's time for me to get back to being productive. Or as productive as this job gets to be. Seeya 'round.
(oh and my schedule changed, i'm working 11:00-20:00 M-F, everything else is the same)
