For sometime now I have felt the urge/need to move on from my current job.
Jump ship.
Go down the other fork in the road.
Check out the grass on the other side.
Find my feet.
Pull the plug.
You get the drift....When I mention this to people I get the same question presented. "But what will you do?" or :What do you want to do instead?" To which I respond with out hesitation..." UUUmmmmmm, I don't know."
I have no real desires to pursue a respected career such as a doctor or lawyer. I have no talents that I have been sitting on like painting or photography. I don't want to take care of or teach other people's children or go back to school at all to earn a degree of any type.
Nope. I am pretty lazy actually and not really interested in having any real big responsibilities at a job.
When I roll it around and around in my head about what I would like to do, what would make me happy, my mind always settles on things like an auto body shop. I don't know what I would do there, I just love the sounds and smells associated with auto body shops. I think about waitressing, not in a bar or a family restaurant, more of a cafe or higher end place. I think allot about working in a book store or at a magazine...again, not sure what I would do at these places exactly but I wonder.....
Things that stop me from breaking free from the corporate grip...medical insurance and the fact that Daniel now needs braces. The hours, Monday to Friday 7:30 to 4:30 is pretty easy to plan around. Car pooling, I LOVE driving to and from work every day with my man, we get work talk out of the way and unwind together so our home time is free of our days B.S. And I would miss our daily lunches most of all.
The big one, M.O.N.E.Y. Kids sports, school, extra activities, trips to Banff, Mexico, hockey games, renovations, clothes, house full of food with out worries and bills and credit cards all paid up.
Terry is of course fully supportive in what ever decision I make regarding jobs and altering our lives. He's pretty darn cool that way.
But what if......?
Boy, do I ever know how you feel. All I can say is that IF something pops up that catches your high...take it as an opportunity!
ReplyDeleteOh, man, I feel like I'm always thinking about what I want to do "when I grow up." Is it really that bad not to want a career? Cause I don't. Not. at. all. I like coming home and having no worries or responsibilities about work. I like regular hours that I can plan around. And I feel no need to climb up any ladder, corporate or otherwise.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, and thanks for saying you're pretty lazy (cause I don't think you are) but that's how I feel sometimes, too! Ha ha! Just give me a job where I can do my time and go home! : )
