So, the hunt continues. Since getting home, I was completely inspired with my leaving the Peace Corps to live this meaningful and fulfilling life and as was suspected by friends and family- the monotony of living at home and having all those luxuries that I had taken for granted have sucked back into their game. I was waking up at 8am every morning to exercise and get life in order. Now, I sleep into 10 and just putter around the house. But that will change after today. Granted I did have strep throat last week but now I'm healthy and that will all change. Tomorrow, I will wake up and start being healthy again.
Not only will I be getting into shape, I will double my efforts on the job front. Although I do now, have a "job". I'm hoping that will change. Now, this is the part where I'm sorry to say but I will explain this so-called "job" that I have. I try to be humble and never hold my nose up to things but sometimes I just can't help it. My job is in retail. More particularly, at a large employer in the Central Florida area (Guess). Now, I am thankful to have a job, I know that there are many without jobs but....(okay, it's rant time) I have a degree, I'm a hard worker, and I'm smart. If one of these many charming employers would just hire me on trial, I know they would be pleasantly surprised. The reason this job is such a drag is, I have to wear a costume. Their costumes are in no way flattering, I know I'm supposed to be adding to the magic that guests are supposed to be experiencing but at what cost? I could sell cartoon character themed things just as well in my own clothing and while being fashionably cute. I also have to be retrained,
So far, I have applied for jobs off of Craig's List, Monster and Career Builder. I've applied to be an actress, a sales position in numerous places, babysitter, nanny, daycare attendant and a writer. So far now, I'm suggestive selling at this employer. My recruiter actually told me that. If someone is buying a certain t-shirt with a lovable cartoon character, I am supposed to suggest the same character shorts to go with them. As if they didn't see the stupid shorts. I am not here to sell people useless crap. After their vacation is over and they get their credit card bills, they'll regret buying all that nonsense. But then again, it's them buying this crap that is employing me. Okay enough bitching and moaning, it's a job, I think it sucks but I am thankful. That will be the last that I complain. After all, what does complaining get anyone, other then annoyed? The game plan is to put away a decent amount of money for about a year or so and either take baking classes during this time or go to a an actual intensive baking school where I will learn officially how to bake. I do my baking now but I want to be properly trained so I can open my healthy/organic/natural bakery that will provide healthier baked goods at a decent price, close to the coast. I've got the hard part done already--- the name Sweetie Pies and Baby Cakes. Cute, right? And maybe a little lame but that's me.
On a plus side, I've started gardening. This week I will be buying the seeds to start planting when this cold weather goes away. It's really nice to think that I'm making something grow and creating fresh and organic vegetables and fruits. Oh and I'm making a Ginger poundcake this week!
Happy almost March 1st!
