So in part of my own goals I set at the new year...I decided to keep up with blogging. I wanted to maintain the blog for a professional portfolio which will hopefully do some good over my school months.
I had a rough day the other day with stuff (not so much school) and decided I should make my own separate blog for venting and such. :)
I dont know whats wrong with me lately. My motivation has went down the tubes. I love school and love learning. I just wish I didnt have to work full time with it lol. I just dont have that option to not work or even part time. Either way Im not the only one thats pushing through school work and other junk. Who am I to complain?
I think the main factor of my "woes" is my job. My job is just draining me dry. I work with all these men that dont give two cents about who you are or what youre doing there. All they want is someone to hold their hand and cater to them left and right. It drives me nuts! I had one of them call me and so very rudely said "I want to discuss some issues I have with you.." Excuse me? WTF? "Where do you want me to start?" Me: "Well..I dont know you're the one with the problems." And proceeded to go off on me because I hadn't gotten one of the piss ant salesmen down the hall a print. Little did he know that I was backed up on quotes due to computer/server problems and I was focused on getting those done. Another little fact he didnt know was the whole reason that the print he sent me was made of 100% Grade A FAIL. None of the dimensions could be read on it. So what was he gonna use it for?
I just have no love for the place any more. I used to want to be there and do 110% but now it's just worthless to me. I was promised one thing when I made my move to this stupid state. Not one thing that was said that would happen..has happened for me. When they fired the guy that hired me...that went with him. My current boss who is my relative has done a great job and I myself dont know why he chooses to put up with the bull.
Another point that makes me want to get away from there is the fact that I was slated for lay off right before Christmas. Really? So you think that I am that worthless to keep around? You have NO friggin clue what I do do you? I was spared because said boss conviced "Mini Me" for me to stay. I dont want my boss always watching my back like that. Its enough stress to have his job. I dont want him having to make sure I stayed employed too..
So that being part of the problem (I realize this more and more as I type this out and chuckle to myself since its so blatantly obvious!) , I have been searching for new opportunities for employment. Joe and I have discussed and if all things work out, we really want to move back to Tennessee this summer. We are hoping to be there in June pending on if we find work and what not. If you have any suggestions in or around Nashville, please comment and let me know. We are looking for a 2-3 bedroom w/ 2 bath. Would like to have at least 1000SF and has to be a flat (no townhomes). Prefer to have W/D hookup so we can do our own laundry.
*breathes in*
So apart from all that ranting..
I think I've convinced Joe, Dale and Charles to go to DragonCon. I can't wait since I didnt get to go last year. I will be glad to see several close friends that I dont see often. I am planning a costume. Think I will do something steampunk. I have some ideas I want to share and love to hear everyone's take. Let me work on some sketches this week/weekend. I will post pics also. So far i am thinkin something like the bustle skirt/corset/shrug combo. Im not sure what kind of weaponry or gadgets I would have.
I am excited!!
Im ready for a good ol con. Blizzcon is still one of my favs but its soo high to go. At least they broadcast it online/tv so we can still see it.
I guess its bedtime. Tmorrow is tequila tasting and celebrating Rachel's bday!
Good night all!
