Life's Getting Shaken Up
8 years ago
General
This place is my soundboard for how my life is going so here's update time!
So apparently all the managers of my company's locations in the whole state are saying Fuck This and looking for new jobs. I don't blame them a bit since this shit company has been piling more and more work on them with zero compensation for a while now. The upside is this is finally a fire under my ass to get me out there applying for a better job. I've only been here this long to gather experience and because of insurance and union membership, so I was going to start looking around anyway. What I'm hoping for is a position at RISD, since now I have experience in record keeping and they're always hiring for positions in their university and museum (I'd REALLY love to apply for an assistant teaching position there but you have to have been to grad school). If they won't take me, I'll probably end up in another medical office. This time around I'd want to be in a private office though - no more corporate bullshit for me fuckin thanks.
Honestly I feel relieved. I've hated this job since day one but being straight out of college with limited employment history I didn't have a lot of choices. Now I have experience and working in a job that combines the worst of retail and medical services has given me a tough skin. I'm ready to barter for myself this time around, not grab whatever will take me.
Other than that I'll be having a lot of time off in the upcoming weeks!! I'm using up my vacation time while I'm here, so I'm looking forward to taking the time to focus on making more art. Take a nap while I'm at it.
