My work experience has changed tremendously over the years. I started off as an office clerk for a doctor, got to see how crazy pregnant people are... (trust me they get cray if you can't fit them in for an appointment). Then Hollister... where I basically slacked off and folded clothes all day errday (& couldn't see because it was so dark).
Then I liked working at the Art Building at Pacific, except for the fact it was far, dark and scary. Working at the LCC with all the Hawaii kids were fun, but honestly we just fooled around the whole time. Things got serious when I came home, I worked at Nordstrom. Honestly I loved my managers, my co workers, I DID NOT love the pressure of making someone buy something, or the "commision". It was not a fun place to work at but I did like being around clothes, and fashion. As you know I am obsessed with anything artsy, so makeup, drawing, painting, photography, fashion, I LOVE LOVE LOVE.
anyways we must go on, and now working at the USPS, I will say is the WORST JOB I'VE EVER HAD. not because of the job requirements, I can do all the physical work, but the fact that my supervisors take no responsibility for their actions. They are so unorganized, don't follow the rules and yet have the nerve to be demeaning and discouraging. So much that I'm leaving.
I've learned its not about the money.
At Nordstrom I got paid anywhere from 500$-1500$ every two weeks. BUT I was so extremely stressed out every day for wanted to reach the commission goals, and also dealing with people who steal my sales. It was not fun.
At USPS I got paid anywhere from $1200-$1800 every two weeks. (Trust me I felt like I was ballin) BUT the stress of not knowing how long I had to work everyday, working sometimes 60 hours a week, dealing with horrible management sucked. I got hurt on the job, my supervisors didn't complete the correct steps so now, I still have back and hip pains, got ZERO compensation.
I am looking for a job that I can grow with. I am tired of hopping from job to job, I want to find something that I will enjoy doing. I just applied for a position at a local retail store, & I am crossing my fingers that I could work there. I know its just retail, but if I could make it somewhere I enjoy working and build a family type relationship I would want nothing more.
If there is something you should take away from this,
its that Its not about the money, its about being happy.
If you're fresh out of college, or high school looking for a job, don't worry about the salary, the pay, the benefits, they'll come... get a job that you'll enjoy doing each and every day, because if you don't you'll be unhappy each and everyday.
so CHEERS to happiness. I know God has a plan, and God knows I don't deal with lots of money very well (aka I spend it all) so this is my lesson.
until next time,
lovelove.
