Queer Vagabond

Everywhere is where I want to be. My life is an amazing journey. Here, I will catalog a fraction of the things which move me.

Today’s the day

I’m officially fucking resigning.

Of course on this day, my boss has praised me into the ground and pep talked me over the moon.

And when I finally get the guts to print out my resignation letter and go to her office, she’s in a meeting for the first damn time all day.

In other news, I got a call this morning and got set up with a job interview for the mental health case manager position I really want right now! :D

“maybe if i drink another coffee, i will feel better”

“maybe if i buy myself a new sweater, i will feel better”

“maybe if i get so drunk i can’t see, i will feel better”

“maybe if i sleep for fourteen hours, i will feel better”

Maybe if I quit my job, I will feel better.

I found the 3 page writing sample I turned in when I applied for my position just a little over a year ago.  I was pretty impressed with my sample and felt pretty smug re-reading it, until I got to this paragraph.

 

“First and foremost, I aim to be satisfied with my career. This is important to me, because I know that enjoying my work on a day-to-day basis will result in my greater ability to achieve success in all that I do. The first step to reaching career satisfaction has been to identify my passions. Working as a Child Welfare Specialist can help take me a step in the right direction, because I have realized my passion for improving and protecting the lives of my young community members and if I know I am making a difference in the lives of children, I will wake up and go to bed happy each day.”

 

I am not satisfied with my career. I have hated going to work everyday for months. I do not wake up and go to bed happy each day. I know damn well what my passions are, but this job was not the right match.

 

I HAVE TO GET OUT!

That moment when you have 2 connections in a workplace to help you get a job and you realize you know both of them because…you’re all lesbians… Baha.

Yesterday’s dumpster haul:

—like-new, clean men’s dress clothing
—like-new book shelf (now acting as a DVD shelf in my living room)
—like-new storage drawers (now acting as my garden storage in my garage)
—floor lamp (now lighting up my living room)
—mini tv (yet to test)
—like-new table lamp in need of a shade
—like-new two storage crates
—a like-new textbook possibly worth $$$
—a like-new shoe storage shelf
—a like-new laptop case
—interchangeable lifting weights
—pristine, super cute blue coffee mug, red bowl, and yellow plate

Got approved for 2 weeks off work. Now if I can just make it a month, my month of June will be set. I even schedule so I have 2 day work weeks before and after my 14 day vacation.
