The first day of the rest of my life.....

Yesterday I  quit my job...

   Today is the first day of the rest of my career whatever it could be.
   Now, I didn't totally make this decision on my own. I should have done the same thing about a month ago and taken a trip with my mother-in-law  to where the real action was, but alas I'm not a risk taker like others.
  Nope, my husband encouraged me to take the leap and leave the thankless job I was at. If you've read my other blog you know that I was working in a day care (which will remain nameless cuz..well this is gonna be a book someday!) and it was the last straw right before my weekend get away for my first wedding anniversary. I was  busting my ass trying to make the place a great place for kids to come and learn and be loved. Needless to say I wasn't given the gratification nor the salary I deserved. I also had to put up with a lot more, but we'll skip that for another post.
   Sooo, since 9:30am I've been at the local library typing out emails and taking down numbers in order to get my dream job. But..what is that you ask? Well..I'll tell you..thanks for asking!

   My dream job is a job that makes me happy everyday. 

I kind of had that at Amazon.com after I was promoted to CS III. I felt comfortable with the people I was working with, I felt I was really helping people when they called in, and I genuinely wanted to be there during the day. However, that didn't last as long as I wanted it to. More on that later as well.

My dream job will have the pay that I expect for my degree, brain power, and creativity.

I want to be able to use my degree that I slaved for at least 10 years ago. Unfortunately it is a degree in Psychology which makes it hard to get a job in that field without graduate classes. But, it's gotten me jobs before that I never would have been able to get without it. I also have a lot of research skills and I love to learn. Who wouldn't want to hire me?

My dream job will give me the benifits that I need and deserve.
 
Diabetic, Athsmatic, 'nuff said!

   Sitting here in the local McDonalds you gotta love the free WiFi. I changed locations after a creepy dude sat next to me in the library. My  brain is fried and I can't bring myself to look up another law firm or dental office at this point. I have a little secret on applying for jobs. Wanna know what it is?

Go down the list in the phone book or web search and email them through their "contactus" button or call them to see if they are hiring.

  Now you know my secret and my job hunting is doomed aye? 

  I've gotten 3 hits so far doing that yesterday and today and I only anticipate more. I hope it really works out. 
  Well, I guess I better get my well fed butt off to the next big task. Researching and learning ICD-9 codes for a job prospect. Yes sir!
