OK, it's been a while since I've done a "Life Sucks" rant, but I think it's overdue. I've noticed a horrible trend lately: I'm stuck in a rut. AGAIN!!! I work at a crappy job, a crappy job that I've been in for over four years now. And it's gotta stop. soon. The crappy job that I'm in is NOT what I want to do. My goal in life is to work in radio, preferably in sports. I also want to write books, scripts, maybe film a movie or two. What I'm doing now, working as a lowly clerk at a store STINKS!!! And the pay is nowhere close to what I want to be. In fact, I'm in a budget crunch for the next two weeks because I got bills up the gut. And that's bad.
As for my job search, it's not that I'm not trying. I've sent out the resumes and hit the bushes. I've gotten my name out there, but no one has given me a chance. And it's really started to get on my nerves.
But you know what I find interesting: I'm not alone in this. Two of my friends, Rob and Lance, are also in the same boat as me. I've read both of their online pages recently and the comments they've made are the SAME ones I've said to myself or posted on my page. They also work at jobs where they are way underpaid, just like me.
This is a trend that has GOT to stop!!! I'm not one for making resolutions but for this year I will make one: I WILL work at a better job by the end of the year. If it's not in radio, then it will be in something else: sports, writing, etc. But I will have a better job than what I have now. I'm much better than this and I think I deserve better than the crappy job I have now. And to Rob and Lance: I couldn't agree with you more and let's hope we all step up to something better soon!!
