Employment

I don't love my job. I've been accused of hating it, but that's not true either. I basically just tolerate my job--or more or less, the people I work with. I actually like what I have to do as of late. I sit here, on the internet for hours at a time and do maybe... 3-4 hours of real work a night. The rest of my 11-hour shift is spent on facebook, looking through forums, watching movies, or playing DS.

I really don't have any room to complain since I get paid pretty decently to babysit a store because corporate refuses to let us close down at nights. Oh well~

I do enjoy helping people when applicable, though. I'm surprisingly good at being patient with people who aren't tech savvy, but that doesn't stop me from laughing and talking about them behind their backs. I am a bad person. =\

Ideally, I'd like to do work as a prop production creator. I like making unique and geeky things, and I have a pretty high attention to detail, so I think I'd be pretty good at it. The main issue holding me back on this is my inability to save any kind of money to go toward the tools/supplies I need to make anything significant. Currently on the agenda is a 1:1 scale replica of the Companion Cube. Maybe in 2011.

Litigation is the one part of my job I hate. Sometimes, we have orders for stacks of receipts and miscellaneous things to be copied and they have to be exactly as-is. It doesn't take all that long, but the process of it is absolutely mind-numbingly boring and tedious.

Oddly enough, I am probably doing what I dreamed--which is getting paid to do a minimal amount of work. The pay isn't great, but then again, it's not bad considering all of the perks I get... Internet, wifi, and tons of free time, printing, scanning, 401k, decent insurance with dental coverage, and most of my week off.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
