Road Closed Ahead, Please Take Detour.

An interesting thing has happened, and changed my road map yet again. While I was out looking for the perfect job the operation my husband was working for closed down. So rather then both of us being without work I had to make a decision. I was offered a position (let us say job X). It is an honest pay for an honest day's work, however one that I am not happy to gloat about. Job X is menial labor for menial pay, no mental challenge and no real room for advancement.

We know these jobs. They are the jobs that keep our society running smoothly, cooking, cleaning, fixing things. I have done them before and had hoped to never have to do them again. We all pay our dues in the field of low end menial jobs, so we all know the feeling of being in them.

Now for a new challenge. I have to be able to do my job well, 5 days a week and still find time to go to networking events, interviews and push myself. Ahh the struggle most people have when they are working and still looking else were. When taking this job I was told that it was Monday-Sat with a day off in the week, this does not seem to be the case now, rather Monday-Friday 8-6:30. Which makes those interviews a little harder to accomplish.

But I will not be denied. My pay is connected with my attendance if I take time off my % goes down, but this only makes me want to find someplace better even more. I refuse to let this setback break me down. I am a highly educated, gregarious, and creative person, and will still find a career to make “Home.”
