Job Update

Well it’s been awhile since I’ve talked about how well the job is going so here it is… I hate it.
There’s just a million and one factors pertaining to why I don’t like it that I can’t even explain them all. The plus is that the people here for the most part (95% lets say) are awesome but there are those few bad apples that just spoil it and make me hate it even more. I have received compliments in the past two days from three separate people saying that I’m doing a great job and they appreciate it and stuff like that so that makes me feel better then something else goes wrong and makes me hate it all over again.
The bad thing about this is that it makes me grumpy and I end up being grumpy around people I shouldn’t be so they suffer. And I’m a horrible grump. It also gives me no motivation to go home and do work because I’m usually pissed off about the day I just spent doing something I didn’t like.
Basically I think this just isn’t what I want to do and I’m not happy doing it. I went to university and worked hard (okay hard enough) to get my degree to have the freedom to find a job that I enjoy doing — or at least that’s why I thought I spent my money to get the degree, I don’t want to settle in something I don’t like.
I guess one good thing that has come out of this experience so far is that it gave me a greater appreciation for what I was trying to do before (working on my own). And well that kind of makes me mad because I know I didn’t fully put myself out there every day to get things moving to a top speed so that I wouldn’t have to get a job and I could have continued working for myself getting the business going. I slacked off and now I’m paying for it I guess. It does give me greater motivation to make Murderfly Mulitmedia successful now to become something big and useful and all that other good stuff.
So with all this being said. I’m sticking it out. I (we) need the guaranteed paycheck that this job brings in. So until I can find something better to move on to, something I can consider a career and not just a bump in the road I’ll fight it out here. Basically I need something that I’ll enjoy doing at equal or greater pay. Otherwise I can’t see myself jumping ship yet — just too much on the plate right now. I’m also trying to get the web stuff moving forward more and more and contacting those people who said they were “interested” in something but haven’t followed up lately. There seems to be a lot of “interest” but nothing else after that. Hopefully this will change as well.
But until then I’ll keep fighting the fight.

Just stick it out untill something better comes.
Working at the Bushplane Museum I run into problems like that. Im at the point where I dont ever communicate with our Promotions and Progams director (shes annoying in every way).
Anyway keep it up gain the work experience and get out of there when something better comes up.
