The wrong job
57
There's nothing more depressing than finding yourself in the wrong job. My theory is (I'm sure most of you will share the same sentiment )- We spend most of our lives at work at least 8 to 9 hours out a 24 hour day which is pretty long so you might as well enjoy it. Think about it; you are away from your family and loved ones; if you're lucky you might still find them awake when you return home from a busy day at work so anything that keeps you away from so much should at least be rewarding. I know when it is time for me to move on to the next fulfilling career in my life and here are but a few signs. When I no longer enjoy going to work, when I'm simply doing it to pay the bills at the end of the month, when my job becomes a chore and I'm not eager to learn anything new about the job that I'm in, when the alarm clock rings, I put it on snooze for 5 minutes and I still oversleep... on purpose. The mere thought of waking up early and getting to work early makes me wish for an extended weekend. When my first groaning words of the morning are "oh God another day of work". When I count the number of days till the next pay date. I could go on giving examples but the I wouldn't want you feeling any more despondent than you already do. I really can't stand to hear myself complain about a situation I have done nothing about. If you hate your job but haven't bothered to update your resume and actively looked for new self fulfilling career path then all I can say is "Would you like some cheese with that whine?" I certainly cannot join you for a pity party. I don't have the Monday Blues. Nobody forced you to apply for it. Being in the wrong job feels like wearing a very tight uncomfortable pair of shoes. They are just not meant for you no matter how they are packaged, how good they look to your family and friends, you're the one who’s wearing them and they're just not the right fit for you. Do yourself a favor and get out of those shoes or that job that just isn’t right for you. You are going to end up angry at the wrong people, start having I hate my Boss campaigns when your Boss is the least of your problems. Turning into a negative badmouthing your company for what you think you sacrificed to be there. The wrong job is like your worst enemy, you hate it for all the wrong reasons only to find out that the reason you hate it so much is because of you. You agreed to do something you don't particularly like just to see how long you can last doing it, just to prove a point to someone or other. The truth is nobody cares if you're in the wrong job or not, the question is what are doing about it or rather to get out of it?
