Work work work. Yet again I complain about work. It's something that has been on my mind a lot lately. I've now almost at the point of working in a call centre sat on a god damn phone speaking to customers all day for 8 years. I started working at 16 in a call centre. I'm 24 this month and still sat in that call centre environment, just a different company. One would think after 8 years I should have finally found somewhere I want to settle into. I thought my current job was that and in a way it is, but all this talk of progression is 90% talk and 10% action. I seem to go somewhere and then feel back at square one. I'm sure you will be too familiar with favorites and that's no different here. It's all nice to be shown and told how to do something but it won't help to get anywhere in the company especially when OTHER people come first too.
I know when I'm starting to not enjoy work when I don't want to get up in the morning, when I'm getting tired and stressed and booking time off. I've hardly worked any of January so far with the amount of annual leave I've taken. I'm now starting to pin point all the stuff in my life that is causing me to feel unhappy. It's now a case of sorting them out. However I don't want to leave because I know I will end up in the same environment elsewhere simply because I'm good at it and have a great background experience in it, though I know I could if I wanted to end up maybe been a Team Leader or something as I've now got experience in this too. I've decided that when I leave work I really do leave work till I go back the next day. Home time is now home time. Work is now work time. No more speaking of work when I've finished my shift. Other options I may look into and have done in the past is University. I'm keeping my options open. All I know is I want a career, not working in a dead end job stuck on a phone.
So anyway, other stuff going off. Well I'm looking to move, closer to town. Close to where everything is accessible for me. Also money is a bit tight so that is a little stressing. I'm also in need of a holiday, just to a chill out and relax and also to go places of somewhere different on a weekend and stuff and not in the form of clubbing. I know I'm only 23 and it's nice to go to a club but surely this is not the main part to life. Working in the week, clubbing at the weekend, hmmm. If this is life I dread to think what I'll be like when I'm 60. Different places to go at the weekend will be something nice.
Phew, that's a lot of stuff that I'm looking at sorting out that will make me happy. My relationship with John is going great, mind we have had a bit little ups and downs but we always end up back on track, in which we are now.
