Prohibition

I can't believe it's been over a month since I last blogged. In the last month, I've taken a vacation, worked A LOT and met a really great guy. I've also fallen out of love with my job.

Well, maybe it wasn't real love to begin with... maybe it was a mild infatuation... either way, I'm over it and it's time to move on. Also, most of the people I work with really hate THEIR jobs too and, on the sly, are looking for something else. Some are actually pretty open about it and discuss it at work. It's pretty bad. Other friends and acquaintances dislike their jobs too! They are looking for something else as well and it's all just a big, vicious circle!

The REAL question is: Why should people be complacent in a job they hate?! Going to work everyday to a job you have zero motivation to complete is not living life!


The thing is, I work almost all the time. Life isn't slowing down and I don't have a ton of time to look for something else. SO-- I came up with an idea. A brilliant one, I may add. Or, maybe it's just stressed-fueled craziness. WHAT IF I pooled all the people I know that hate what their doing and form a little "let's find new jobs" club? Talk to each other about resources, who you know, what you know, etc. etc. I realize for most this is networking but sneaking around to do it seems so... rebellious. It's like the prohibition era for my job. This can be my speakeasy. I gotta get out and make myself happy because if I don't, then who will!? That 30 x 30 list isn't going to complete itself and my job, well, someone else probably has more patience for it.
