I am real sick of my job right now.
12 and a half years of dealing with emotionally disturbed, and let's be honest here, asshole children is taking a toll on my happiness. It's so very tiring now to deal with the same old behaviors that I have had to endure for over a decade. How many other jobs do you know where being insulted and assaulted is all part of a days work (outside of retail of course)?
The problem is that there just aren't many good jobs available out there, and I can't afford to settle for some minimum wage shit job, not while I am still making enough to get by comfortably right now, no matter how unhappy I am. But god am I tired of all this. I feel like I have served my time in human services, and should be rewarded with a nice cushy job doing reviews for movies, or comic books perhaps.
Still, there are some positive things going on, it isn't all negative (in fact, my job is the ONLY negative thing going on right now).
-I'm getting married this year, with October 9th being the date set for our Pirate themed shindig. After that we start planning for a family.
-I do in fact have a job, which is better than a lot of friends who have fallen victim to this economy.
In a few months my first attempt at being a comic writer will be published; a short story in a zombie-themed anthology book called Zombie Bomb! I'm very excited about this, and hope you will take a second to check out the Facebook page for the project (it's not spam if it's in my own blog!).
Zombie Bomb! Comic Anthology
-The Art Director of the zombie book (and a good friend) wants me to write some more for the anthology series, as well as an original project he wants to pitch with me down the road. This is good. I don't expect to have a career in this, but some extra cash on the side in the future would be nice; as is, nobody is being paid for the anthology, it is a work of love for exposures sake. And there is also the happiness in having completed a childhood dream of writing in comics.
So all in all, I'm just missing a random and magical dream job to fall into my lap in order to have complete happiness. Anyone have a line on something like that? My qualifications: I'm relatively smart, occasionally hilarious, and have a lot of patience. I can cook too!
But enough about me, how are you all doing? What has the new year brought you?
