"A sense of purpose and a sense of skill, a sense of function but a disregard
We will not be the first, we won't
You said you were going to conquer new frontiers,
Go stick your bloody head in the jaws of the beast"
So I'm back. I'm pretty sure I don't really have any reason to go back to Texas for a long time. My best friend is moving back here in three weeks, so I won't need to go see him anymore. It's not that I hate Texas I'm just sort of over it.
While sitting in the Dallas terminal (which feels like my second home now) waiting for my flight, I found a place to get some wine. I sat and pondered my future, and what I need to do to get it going, and get the hell out of Sacramento. I was feeling pretty good, and kinda had a new resolve to do well in my day job, so that I could save money, get a little bit more out of debt, and work harder on my photo portfolio.
That lasted till about 9:08 this morning. I've sort of been "promoted" as of the last couple of weeks. And my boss is now making goals for me, and scheduling projects for me that can not be achieved. He also informed me that I need to start staying later at nights, and coming in earlier to get more done. Mind you I'm already working a minimum of 40 hours or more as it is. I am not on salary, and this promotion, did not come with a raise. To make the situation worse, the transfer puts me in a position where I could easily be replaced if I raise a fuss. But at the same time, they just invested a bunch of money in software training for me that I didn't want. To walk away from them would be really bad etiquette after their investment.
I'm really really confused, and feeling a little helpless at the moment. By doing what they want, and coming in more, it will cut into the already too little time I have to work on my photography, so that I can get a better paying job that I am good at. But I need the money from this engineering job to keep the creditors at bay, and a roof over my head. Gaaah
Enough of that.. I'm home and back in the arms of the lovely Kage so I've got at least one thing to keep me happy. Along with the SGSacto Halloween party going down Friday night. Get to see all the rad people who haven't been out for a while..
