Soooo I didn’t get the job I applied for. The job itself I wasn’t that disappointed about…but then I realized that this means I’m going to be stuck in Corvallis still. And that made me a little sad. But apparently it wasn’t meant to be. So now I have to figure out what IS meant to be…ideas, anyone??
First I thought that I really should go traveling. Which I haven’t given up on. But that is a pretty impractical thing to do right now, especially with how the economy is. Who knows if I’d be able to get a good job again after I got back. Stupid economy.
Then I thought, well, maybe I should just stay at this job and keep living at home and see if I can get a raise and just save some more money. Which in all honesty is probably what I will end up doing. But it certainly doesn’t sound like fun. At all.
Then I thought maybe I should keep looking for a travel agent job. But apparently those jobs don’t exist.
Then I started looking for other random jobs. But couldn’t find any that I wanted to do.
If I lived in a dream world, I would quit my job in February, go traveling for 4 months, come back and get a job as a travel agent and live happily ever after. Unfortunately this is not a dream world. It is the real world. And in the real world, things suck.
Hahahah ok things don’t really suck that bad. I’m just getting real bored and am ready for a change! I haven’t spent more than two years in the same place/at the same job since I’ve been out of high school. I like to mix it up and move around! But I’ve been at this same place for 2 years. I guess if a change is not in store, then I’m sure I will get something out of staying here. “I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation…I can do everything through him who gives me strength.” Maybe that’s the lesson thats out there for me. Not a very fun lesson…
In the meantime, if anyone has any ideas for fun, or for cool jobs for me, give me a holla 🙂
Or, better yet, if you want to finance my trip to Europe and then support me when I return, please let me know.
On the bright side, I get to sleep in tomorrow. And I have a whole weekend until I have to go back to work!!
Dear Amy,
We have the same life problems.
You’re not alone.
Hope you can learn to feel content even in the midst of total discontentment.
Until then let’s dream of traveling to far off lands.
Your friend,
AK
Dear Amanda and Amy,
Why not just drop everything for a while, venture off the map and travel it up while you are young beautiful and free? Well, just a thought. I like to play devil’s advocate to the more reasonable response, and while I cannot finance such a dream trip, unless I of course won the lottery, and was able to join in on the fun … wait, my thought remains that it would still be a wonderful, worthwhile adventure. What do you have to lose? In fact, the answer should be, oh I have so much to gain 😛
love,
helen
well, its settled then…a-traveling we shall go!! 🙂
