i want to be happy, not rich

So, I started my new job yesterday. First it was an 11 hour day, second it was a lot different than I thought it was going to be. Actually I don’t even know if I can say that.  I don’t want to talk about specifics too much on the internets, but suffice to say it’s a waste of my abilities if what they want me to do is “babysit”. The money is good, and being able to have heath insurance is also good, but consistently working 11+ hours a day, basically “getting through the day” with a client with behavioral issues that include hitting and verbal abuse, with what seems like a “ignore them and they’ll go away” approach, isn’t something I want to do. I can do so much more than “babysit.” If I can take this job, make it my own, and really DO some things to help her, I think it could work out. If not - I just don’t know. Heh, I didn’t even know to clock in when I got there, and I haven’t filled out any financial info.  Ugg.  Just ugg.

P.s. I’m still doing my photo project. I’m doing self portraits on Saturdays.

You never know. It might get better. Give it a few days. Don't go into much detail about it though.

I'm loving the photos so far!

Wow. working 11 hour days can get old. depends on your schedule i think. But yeah, babysitting is never something I'd like to do. When a job is a waste of talents, the pay better be awesome i think.

Colin - thansk :-) I'm really liking taking the photos every day! :-) I think after a month, I'll do a recap video of them :-) set them to music.

Yoshi - the pay is not really awesome enough for what they'd like me to do.

I actually quit the job today :-) s'ok. I've got an interview tomorrow and I applied for another job today. The perfect job is out there. I KNEW I should have gone with my gut on this.

Let me explain it to you. Mitchell’s the man. I’m the idiot. You’re the screw-up. And we’re all losers. Welcome to music town. ~Joe.
