So i suppose it's time for a new blog per requested, See Nea I listen, eventually tongue

I have some interesting stuff to share for once.

So 3 weeks ago I did something daring, spontaneous and potentially really stupid and i don't recommend it.

First let me give you some insight into my frame of mind in general on this topic, and the topic is Jobs. We all hate them but we need them to pay bills. I would love to be one of those people who actually LOVE to go to work, hopefully one day. For those who know me i am really laid back and relaxed person and not much bothers me or gets to me.Whenever i have lost a job for whatever reason i never worried, or have learned to not worry in the second half of my life so far. Why? Because I am a survivor and always think things will work out. and because my mindset is I will find another job that will be better, if nothing else for a short time. Weather it be better pay, better boss, nicer work atmosphere or whatever the case may be. I have always found this to be the case.

This new job i have had to the past year has a really great benefits which i have mentioned, paid sick days and vacation days. Really cool co-workers and good bosses and even an owner that is really awesome. However the downside is the work itself, It is ridiculously monotonous to a point that is insane. It is really easy and although most people would love all this, i need something more challenging and something that makes the day go by other than watching the clock on the computer go by so slow for 8 hours a day. I worked there for one full year and a couple of weeks. I wanted to be happy and i wasn't so i decided why continue to be unhappy when you can change your situation.

I could take it anymore and i was being lazy about trying to find something else so i decide to just QUIT *dun dun dun* one day. Just BAM up and quit. Why? Cause i thought it would, and it did light a fire under me to get off my ass and find something better for myself. So i immediately revised my resume and set out searching for something. Long story short 2 weeks go by and nothing viable. Oh uh? Now what?

Then my buddy and his dad are doing some work they need help with and they don't know how to do and need help with their small business. They need help with computer related stuff and some various other things. So they front me all the money i need to pay this months rent (March) and Aprils rent and utilities. With just a bit left for food. Not much for anything else, but at the moment this is all i need to live and if things go well it could be a better off down the road. I basically set my own hours, come and go when i want. Work for myself basically with no one over my shoulder. Now this may only be temporary but it sure is something that came along at the right time. smile

Side note: This gives me more time to work on this project i have been slacking on to get my own thing going that could potentially set me for a very very long time.

I guess that's really it.

I've only quit one job like that and boy did it feel great. Glad to hear you found some work so quickly. Hope you find a more permanent job though. Sunday you think you'd be up for some Halo 3 or Reach?
