I have been with my current employer for 9 almost 10 months now, by far the longest period of time in the past 10-15 years. I can't help the fact that I've worked for several places that have gone out of business within a few months of me starting there, that's besides the point.
My current job is the Graphics Department Manager for a scenic entertainment company. What does a scenic entertainment companies do you ask? Well, we are currently building and setting up the pre-show/red carpet for the MTV VMA's, we also built the stage for MTV's Fandom Awards, and there interview set from this years Comic Con. We also do a lot of work for Madame Tussaud's here in Vegas. We built the scenery for the Hangover Experience, Miley Cyrus's Wrecking Ball exhibit, and the very news worthy Nicki Minaj exhibit, we built the scenery not the wax figure. We have done many other really cool things since I've been here and have many great things lined up for the future.
Yet, I find myself wanting to get out of here and find something different, I've even sent my resume off to a few places. It's strange to even say because I do really enjoy my job and what we do. I have yet to wake up in the morning and think, gah I don't want to go in today. Yet here I am working, not really hard today, for the 63rd day out of the last 72 days. Many, well most, of these days have been 11+ hour days. Maybe I'm just a little burnt out, or maybe I would like to be able to have some spare time to spend with friends and family when they come to town. Maybe, I'd like to finally work somewhere that I can move up within the company, or a place that is big enough to offer benefits, paid days off, vacations and all the other perks. Maybe, I should just shut up and keep my head down and work.
Who knows what will happen, guess I'll just have to play it out!!
I hope you are all having a good day and week!!!
