First about how it feels like I haven't spoke to any of my long distance friends in a lifetime. For that, I would like to apologize. I don't even know where the time goes anymore. I feel like just yesterday was May 1st, and now all of a sudden it is (almost) the last day of June.
We've been moved in for a week now, and I'm just about through my first Graduate class ( if you can even call it that, I call it the Math class I should have 3.0'ed the first two times I took it). Anyways, I am hoping to get a chance to catch up with you all very soon, and hoping to put some pictures up of the house. I'm dying to show it off.
Secondly though I've been thinking about how much I despise the monotony of a 9-5 job. Its not even so much Enterprise that I hate anymore. Its the fact that every morning when I go to work I can predict almost down to the minute what my day holds. Yes, the customer are all different, but the situations are all inherently the same. Day in and day out I do all the things that I'm expected to do, and it all but drives me nuts. However, the very predictability of my job and pay check keeps me there. While I fantasize about one day striking out on my own to start my own business, its is terrifying to consider the insecurity of that very dream. There is no guaranteed money, there is no guaranteed work.
I've considered starting some kind of side project, I dabble in mystery shopping every now and again, mostly to supplement my income but unless you take on about a bazillion jobs that is not enough to live off of. I have considered starting some kind of personal shopper business, except I don't even know where to start and I'm afraid my already existing obligations of school and Enterprise will limit the time I can dedicate to the project and it would ultimately fail (like my fashion blog).
While I envy the other Enterpriser's who supplement their income through 8 hour sittings at Poker tables, I'm afraid of the unknown, and afraid to try my hand of something I'm unsure of.
I kind of lost where I was going with this, but realizing that its not the job I hate its the predictability has made it a lot easier for me to get up for work in the morning.
so i've been thinking....
