Well…
I don’t always want to sound like I hate every job I take, but I’m pretty miserable. I’m just not meant to sit at a computer all day without real human interaction (minus the IMs with my coworkers discussing business matters.) I want a job that cares about people and makes me feel fulfilled rather than worrying to death about my call metrics. Numbers, numbers, numbers. It’s all about numbers and progressing this business all the while hoping for a promotion to drive a fancy car and live in a fancy house. Not me.
I was driving to work the other day and had an epiphany: I just need to teach. I know I’ve changed my mind a million times about this, but it’s the only way I’m going to be able to be around what I love. Asher told me someone once told him that the only real reason to major in English was to teach. A year ago I would have disagreed. Now I almost totally agree; where else will I get to read and discuss literature as a career? Nowhere. I’m starting the Master’s in Teaching program in January.
I have to keep this job for now so I can move out, but I could actually go back to the pharmacy if I also had another source of income. Anyone know of any simple part time jobs? I just want to work where I don’t have to constantly worry about numbers and how I’m doing. I’m always nauseated these days.
