Okay some of you may know that I currently have two jobs. In all
honestly I don't need the second one but I have it all the same. Back
in Feb/March when I was unemployeed (urgh) I got both jobs at the same
time and since one was a full-time normal day job and the other was a
night-n-weekend part-time thing, I took both.
Now
the day job has become pretty permament and I have developed roots
there. It definately isn't a forever job, I proberly will stay at it
for a little while until I finally decide to move on (or I want more
money).
The night-n-weekend job on the other then has turned
into a Vampire. I really don't like it (it is retail - retail sucks -
sorry but it does) and basically the snob in me hates putting on a
uniform. More importantly I have little to no social life at the moment
because of the weird and frustrating hours they have me at.
I
just want out and basically plan to hand my two-weeks notice in this
week (maybe next since this week is pretty short). But the fact of the
matter is I don't need it - the other job pays rather well and to me
the only thing I am getting out of it is extra money. I have zero job
satisfaction and I get frustrated, moody and pissy with it. It isn't
bad-bad like the Planned Parenthood job I had in Portland, Oregon (that
really too me can never be topped) but I don't want to waste time in a
place I am unhappy in.
Now you think people would see that I am
unhappy in a job and more importantly see I have another job I can full
back on, they'd be supportive. But no... all I am getting is 'but it is
easy money', 'you are earning so much between the two jobs' & ' you
should really think about it.
Good lord in heaven. I know it is
easy money and I proberly will have to rebudget once I quit, but why
are people looking at the money side of it and not being supportive of
me wanting to leave a place I am not happy in? Frankly it makes me feel
small and childish when people say I should think it through and all
the other stuff I previously mentioned and somebody who is going to
turn 27 in two weeks!!!
As mentioned before I cannot plan
anything on the weekends and alot of my social activities no-longer
exist because I have to factor in these hours. Plus these last two days
(Christmas Day & Boxing Day) have been the first two days off I
have had since going to Queensland at the beginning of November for my
Uncles Wedding & Nephew's Christianing. I really dislike the idea
of working seven days a week. I really do need a day or rest where I
can recharge my batteries and not have to put on a polyester tie *gag*.
So
can you see. If anything I am at the moment more frustrated with people
not being supportive in my decision to quit then the job itself.
Plus
i have seen the way the company does its employment. The sad thing is
if I ever want back I could get in quiet easily - if I so choose. I
just don't like the culture of the organisation.
So I just want
to be a normal fellow with one job, with free weekends to hang out with
friends, Thursdays for late night shopping at Chadstone or the City and
going to various local committees and groups I like to involve myself
it.
