One of my mom’s students asked me the other day

“So how’s working?”

And I only managed to sign and roll my eyes before he said

“it’s time for you to change jobs”

And that got me thinking. Do I like my job? No, I actually do not like my job. I like my colleagues, but not my job. Come to think of it, I think I made it very clear, even to my colleagues, that I don’t like this job. I just like them a lot and I don’t have the heart to leave them.  Which does make things suck, seeing how it would make things difficult when/if I want to leave.

What do I think of my job?

It pays the bills. It feeds me. It’s not the most well-paid job out there; I’m barely saving money from my first year of work as it is. Even with the pending increment that I’m hoping I will get, how much of a difference can that make? Even if I get a 10% increase it’s still not a lot. But at the rate that we’re going now, I’ll take that 10% any day. We’re having a little time management thing going on at the moment because our boss thinks we’re not efficient enough. So a few expenses has been cut, including our supposed company recreational outing. Our boss wants to take us hiking because it’s free instead of playing paintball. Might as well bring us to Astaka and let us lose there for a couple of hours. Hiking. To save money. Groundbreaking.

So do I like my job?

I have a meager pay and a manager who everybody loathes with a tonne of things to do. Not exactly dream job description but I do understand that there’s no such thing as an ideal working environment. I don’t particularly enjoy it, nor do I particularly hate it. I just don’t like it.

Then why don’t I quit?

Because I am a complete lazy bum who is entirely too comfortable with the current job. Yes, it’s stressful but I have my seniors to turn to for back-up in case my manager is completely useless (which happens more often than not..). We go out for good food and laughs occasionally and I really appreciate that. I really do. It helps de-stress and I get to meet up with a good friend who quit a while back. That’s pretty nice.

On a completely separate note…

I’m going to Christina Perri’s Head or Heart tour next month! Ok, it was totally unplanned. I heard it over the radio a few weeks back and was contemplating on going since I do like her music (at least, the songs I’ve heard so far..which is like…3? Oh shit..)

My sister actually asked me about it and I think I told her something like I don’t feel like going (because..well..reasons unknown). In my defense I really didn’t feel like going at that time. And yesterday..well..I’ll let the screen caps below explain:

It’s like..the moment the conversation started I was like

I think I know where this is going XD

And true enough haha! 

But I don’t mind. Now I’m kinda looking forward to going actually. And the tickets were way cheaper than Taylor’s The Red Tour. I was so broke after buying them. Compared to that, this time is so much cheaper. Like seriously…this is like..not even half of Taylor’s tickets, which makes it really affordable in my books.

So yea..

I hope I don’t cry if/when she sings A Thousand Years. That song is so…well..it hits a lot of feels XD not to mention it reminds me of somebody.
