This isn’t a personal blog so I try not to get too personal too often, it gets in the way of the boobage, which I assume is the reason most of y’all end up here. Still, this is my corner of the web, so the price of boobs is that sometimes I’m going to vent or ramble at you about the Nazi Lizard Men who live inside the hollowed out Earth like an inebriate Uncle at your cousin’s wedding.
Anyway, I’ve mentioned before that I am moving to New York City in the near future (probably around November or December). I’m going to film shool so I can be the screenwriter behind mediocre movies (you know, the sort they release in late August if they get a theatrical release at all), maybe even be responsible for the 30th re-write of some novel adaptation or summer blockbuster that I’ll never get credit for. I’m very very excited. However, until I move I need to make money. This means a regular job. A job I have to wake up and get dressed for and everything.
I am really not used to this, and very much not enjoying it.
See, I was unemployed for 6 months. I could get up whenever and sit around in my underwear half the day. I like that.
Before I was unemployed, and this is what makes the situation worse, I was working out of my house for about 4 months. Again, I could hang around in my underwear all day (I am actually pretty disciplined as far as working from home and getting up at a particular time for work and not getting too distracted, etc.). Before that I worked in a rather lax office as far as work time went, and I didn’t have to keep a strict eye on my hours as I wasn’t really billable. Before that I worked from home for a year.
I’m not used to normal employment.
I’m not used to putting on pants before 10.
As much as I like the people I work with at my new job (they are all very nice folks) I absolutely hate my work.
I just have to keep repeating to myself that it’s only for a few months, then I’m gone. Off to pursue my dream of banging out ideas on a keyboard in my underwear for money.
Also, I remind myself of the absurd amount of money this company is paying me. Really, the work I’m doing is not worth this money. It’s a good thing they are unawares of my plan for leaving. Actually, that’s probably a big part of the reason I hate this work. I am so very stressed about them finding out my plans and then getting canned. Then, I’ll need to find a new job.
Alright, enough of my whining. Thanks for letting me vent … back to the boobies and such.
