Creatively Challenged
There is almost next to nothing to report this morning. Having sat through an hour long meeting about the Companies dedication to 'Excellence', my brain is fried and I'm three seconds away from gauging out my own eyeballs with a plastic teaspoon.
Why are all big companies the same? Why do you have to sell your soul and hang up your personality at the door before you enter? Every time someone has an independent thought a silent alarm is sounded and they are led away by the Men in Black, disappearing behind a big heavy door and never seen again. Probably. I am quite literally sick of it.
I'm creative, why can't I find a job that appeals to that side of me? Probably because I never look. Am I so conditioned to wait for the next pay packet that I'm willing to ignore the parts of me that need stimulating? Obviously.
I am sick, I must help myself now.

I have been SO BAD lately! I've had no time to comment or blog properly!!!
Argh!!!
And if you find that help, clue me in, would you? I feel like I'm in the biggest rut of my friggin' life!!!
I think everyone does this. We get stuck in a certain job path because it is what we are good at, it pays well, or it is where our experience lies. Challenging our routines is always a scary thing, so we just let things go on the same all the time.
I am still in school, so I have a little more choice, but I still fear that my previous office experience will land me in a secretary job just because its what I already know how to do.
I say, life is short, enjoy your youth, blah blah blah - just start looking around. See what's out there in a casual way instead of putting a lot of pressure on yourself by deciding to look for another job. Just sort of browse through the papers and what not, applying to anything that catches your eye and pays enough to not make you starve. You don't have to say yes if they call you.
Just my thoughts... good luck! You'll figure it out.
We find a job to pay the bills and before we know it it feels like we've sold our soul to them
They weren't training you on how to safely make tea were they?
