I decided to spend this morning applying for some jobs online, I can see a lot of jobs I'd like to do but when I phone up to ask about hours... I always get told jobs in retail, aren't as well-paid as those in the financial sector. WTF? when did I phone my sixth form careers adviser? I just wanted to know if the role is 35 hours per week.
but, in all honesty, I see they are trying to tell me I'll get paid less. do you know it's funny when I look back at the jobs in my life. my first was shit & I only lasted a month there (their decision, not mine - the final straw was when I knocked down the diamond display in the window, the manager actually cried. I am way too clumsy).
the second was the best job ever, I loved working in the charity shop & my manageress was the best ever. my hours were flexible & I loved getting to see the clothes before the customers & would come home weekly with the coolest outfits that everyone commented on.
the third was my first call centre job & I hated it. the best part was working with my friends, but after they left I was very lonely & stressed. then the crunch came, the demotion. my new role was much better, but it gradually dwindled to the point where it was obvious my services were no longer required. I suppose boring people to death is cheaper than making them redundant.
the this job, in all honesty it's OK. the money is brilliant, but I am still a clerk. & by now, I wanted a role where I had a bit more decision-making. & I want to work for a company that actually provides some good in the world, rather than making the rich richer.
not that this all matters, but I need some background to explain the way I feel. in each new job I started my salary increased by a fifth. but, when you really don't enjoy something that money seems useless. but I get used to the pattern & when I think of losing a third of my salary to go back into retail I panic.
but then I think of this great man!
Judgement Boy!
I know I talk about Gregory Horror Show a lot, but you so must check it out. which will it be? money or love?
so, here I go! following my heart! yeah! one day I will manage, I know it.
I'm going to Southampton now to visit my sister. write to you soon!
