Hey Rose Heads! I hope you're having a great prelude to your weekend! Do you have a day job? I mean something that you do when you're not blogging lol! Well, I do. I'm an Administrative Assistant for an Architecture firm here in Atlanta, GA. I'm not ungrateful for my job. I actually like most of the people, I get paid a good salary and I can take off when I need to take care of my family. That's a biggie to me...the taking off part.
BUT...this is NOT what I want to be doing with my life. I started this job five years ago. My goal was to finish school, become a teacher and live happily ever after. When I had Picard (almost three years ago...wow), I realized that I don't want to teach. What I really want to do is pursue crafting and parlay that into a CAREER...not a job like a view everything else. You see, I love to be creative and think outside the box. I THRIVE from that. So, I KNOW that's what I should be doing. I mean, have you seen my cards? www.twotearsinmybucket.blogspot.com I live for this stuff!
BUT...then I sit and think about the security of my 9 to 5. I think about how comfortable it is here and how there are a lot of resources here for me.
Maybe I should create a PROS/CONS list:
PROS of staying at my okay JOB:
1. Financial security.
2. Opportunities for personal and professional development.
3. Chance to learn from my co-workers.
4. Coming to "the city" everyday.
CONS of staying at my okay JOB:
1. Being out of the house 11 hours a day.
2. Not having enough time to enjoy life daily.
3. Not having enough creative time.
4. Playing the "politics" game on a daily basis.
5. Being someone's subordinate.
6. No creativity for a straight 9 hour time period M-F.
Sigh...I'm not quitting today but, I'm doing something about this. I've got to come up with a plan...
