I'm a 25 year old girl living in California with my boyfriend. We live in the bay area in a way overpriced apartment but what do you expect it's the bay area? We are not originally from here but are enjoying every minute of this beautiful California weather. I graduated college about 3 years ago and what have I accomplished career wise since then? Not much. I need that to change. I've been at my current job a little over two years now. I work at a financial company, I hate explaining what it is that we do so I'm not going to do that today. It's sad really how much I dislike my job. It wasn't always this way and it's not THAT bad, but it really isn't that great. Do you really want to sit in a box working at hours a day? I will tell you two things I have gained from this job. 1. Some great friends 2. About 20 lbs, I swear I was not this heavy when I started!! Basically my job is repetitive and boring and I'm ready to get out. What's holding me back you might ask? The fact that I have no idea what I want to do career wise. Is that weird at 25? Maybe?? I'm so envious of people out there that have these unique fun jobs. I understand that jobs aren't always fun but I want to do something more meaningful or something I at least enjoy. Right now my job is just to go there and make money so I can pay the bills and enjoy leisure activities. I do not see myself getting a badass high paying position at this company because a) I'm not really interested in staying there for very long so what's the point and b) the pay at this place is terrible!! I'm living in a $2400 a month apartment and my total take home paycheck for the month is almost that amount I swear! How do I afford it you might ask? I have a man with a badass job so we can afford some finer things in life. I know I know it's terrible to rely on a man, especially when we're not married.. But.. I can't help it I feel like men are here to take care of us and spoil us.. and sometimes I think I may be a little too spoiled but we make it work somehow, even though it can lead to him getting mad at me at times.
I hope I don't sound like a total life hating Debbie Downer because I'm not like that at all. I'm actually a very optimistic person with a great attitude. I LOVE life outside of my cube. I love fashion, I love being a girl, I love dancing and I love traveling. So by working I am able to maintain the lifestyle I love. I just wish my work time was a little more rewarding financially and mentally.
So you might ask why I don't just find another job for a change? Well the next time I get a job I want to make sure it's a job I WANT to do. I want it to be a move in the right direction, not just something I'm going to take just because. So for now I'm working in the cube, taking my time figuring out and searching for the right job for me. Please happen soon!!! :)
There is one thing that gets me through the day at work, that is my P.I.C. My cube neighbor who is just like me with the same attitude toward this job. We take a couple breaks throughout the day to get out of the cubes and get some air and sunshine. Bitch about our weird coworkers and whatever else may come up. I am thankful to have found such a great friend at work that can share the pain I feel. So for now we are stuck there until we find the perfect job, and while I'm stuck in my cube you will all get a chance to see me bitch about the excitement of it all. I may even tell you about the characters that we work with later on because let me tell you we have a whole load of them!
Until next time....
