Enough is enough...

I am getting tired of complaining and living in cyber world.  I am tired of Facebook. 

I do not care that so-and-so got a new whatever.  I am tired of living on this computer. 

My life is more than that.  I am more than that. 

I was thinking of the jobs I have had in my life.  Gather around and let me tell you about the gems I have had.  When I was in high school I volunteered but it felt like work.  I worked in a doctor's office.  I assisted the secretary.  I did things like take the patient files and organize them.  It was the fist time I ever heard of babies being born without an anus.  The doctor had to do surgery and create an intestinal track for the children.  It was major surgery.  I felt so sorry for those babies.  I could not imagine what that would be like.  I did what the secretary needed me to do. 

After that I volunteered in my high school.  I volunteered in the library.  It was a nice hang-out for the kids in my school.  Very little reading was done.  There was a lot of giggling and talking. 

Then I went to college.  I did my work-study in the economics department as a secretary aid.  I typed in people's grades.  There was answering the phone and other things.  It helped me with expenses at school.  I did the Burger King job for a while.  I woke up at the crack of dawn to serve breakfast.  That job was fun.  I got to eat as many french toast sticks as I wanted.  When I occasionally worked the afternoon shift I ate as many chicken sandwiches, onion rings, and whopper juniors as I could. 

I eventually got a job at this pizza place.  I created some work of art pizzas.  There were a bunch of delivery guys.  We joked around and ate pizza on slow nights.  After my second paycheck bounced I looked for another type of work.  (Don't worry I got my money in cash after telling the owner about the bounced checks.) 

My next job was at a place called Baja Burrito.  The owner would not hire me at first but I was persistent.  I went back there until she hired me.  I am happy I did not give up.  I ate tacos and burritos until I was sick.  They were delicious.  I did some damage to the nacho supply also. 

If you have not noticed the theme in college was to work where the food was.  A college kid has to eat. 

After I graduated I worked at a daycare.  I quit there because I did not like that the owner dismissed the concern I had for one of the kids.  Being just out of college I did not know what to do about my concerns and since there seemed to be an explanation for the bruises I saw on one child there was very little I could do. 

After the day care I worked at a place where they did tutoring.  That was a good job but I had to find a new job after discovering I was pregnant.  I liked it there.  Then I found a new job with the school system.  After losing my job I decided to go and get my legal certificate.  I liked worked on that while adjusting to my MS medication.  I did well even though the MS medication made me sick.  Then I worked as a telemarketer.  I did not enjoy that job at all.  I gathered information for the sales staff.  I was good at my job but I did not like what was being said and the tactics they used to make a sale.  After that it was the call center.  I got pregnant  and quit the job because I did not want to put the baby in harms way.  It was an unplanned pregnancy and I love little man. . 

Now I am just waiting for my next job.  Put in my resume with the state.  State jobs take forever to tell you if you can have an interview.  Wish me luck.
