In this thread, I actually yelled at someone. (Sorry, Shodan. I like you, I really do!) It’s just the culmination of too much stuff going on.
First off, and most relevant to above link, I got a new job. Telemarketing. It pays the bills. And I’m going to Hell. But that’s okay, because it pays the bills. But I’m still going to Hell…repeat
Part 2. School. College, 17 hours, psych major, theatre minor. With my job, I can’t do homework! (Not like I did before, but still…)
Next up is the boyfriend. Under normal occurances, not seeing him for about 2 months would be bad. BUT, he’s in Marine Corp. boot camp. There’s a war practically going on! And I’m worried sick! He’s only safe until Nov. 2nd (his graduation date.) I just want him home…
D.) Family. Seriously getting on my nerves. I can feel a slow seperation of myself from them, a cutting of the ties, if you will. You see, aforementioned boyfriend and I are to get married (eventually…), so while this is good (i’m too dependant on them), it’s bad in that there’s stress now, and I don’t want to be here anymore. But I’m stuck here for some time.
If I think of anything else I want to rant on, then I will tell you. That was very therapuetic for me. Reply at will (though I’m not expecting anything.)
Hmmmmm, she has a Marine boyfriend in wartime and she’s reduced to telemarketing to make ends meet. Kinda sucks, don’t it? And it’ll be so long before it starts to get better that you’ll call me a liar for telling you it will.
So, I’ll do my part. Anybody who plans on giving her crap for telemarketing has to go through me first, until her better-shape, better-armed, better-trained boyfriend gets back from serving his country.
(singing to myself)
*My boyfriend’s back and you’re gonna be in trouble!
Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend’s back!
You’re a psych major? Hit my profile, send an address to my email by 8 a.m. MST and I’ll help you out.
I minored in applied psych., educational pscyh., criminal forensic psych., geronotolgical psych., business, business pscyh. and human management psychology. 7 minors, no majors. (It was a really cool B.S. degree no one has ever heard of.)
I have a masters in counseling and special education. I’ve taught behaviorism since 1986. I work with an excellent research librarian. And, God help me, I interpret state and federal rules for living.
I don’t really have any BILLS bills. Mostly gas and tuition, though that last one takes up quite a bit. I have to save up, and this job is actually decent money. I have thought about moving out, to deal with the dependancy issue, but that’s just not feesable. I wouldn’t be there long (hopefully I’ll be on base within a year. High hopes, but still there), so it would almost be a waste to move. Plus, with school, and no car, I don’t think I could do it. (Though I want to. Oh God, I want to get away…)
Thank you everyone. I appreciate the good thoughts. When
I go to Hell/work tonight, I’ll be thinking of you.
PS-Whistlepig, sorry I didn’t hit the dead line! You can always get me at rain@crystal-tokyo.com, though, kay?
Telemarketing can be a fun job regardless of the ethics of it. Think of it as getting paid to make prank calls and tricking people into buying whatever product you sell. I did it for a few weeks in college but absolutely hated it and eventually got a job teaching private guitar lessons. I know there isn’t much out there that pays as well as telemarketing or has hours that are as flexible so keep at it and don’t take anything personally. (ring ring… is your refridgerator running? Oh, I mean, hello I am rayniday from Company X. Have you heard of our services before? etc) Also at the end, you can just have a lot of fun before you quit. Play pranks instead. If you are quitting, it isn’t like it is going to matter.
