OK so I decide to call in sick today cause all this crap's goin' around and I (cough) (wink) think I might be catching something serious. So I plan on filling out the paperwork to give to the landlord so I can start my business (my ticket out of the 7th circle of hell).

OK so a while back I had to leave my job which was a management position in the field I want to spend the rest of my life in. I loved the job but there were some problems with the bosses and then they tried to screw me over with a noncompete agreement.

I wasn't sure where I wanted to take my life so I took a job that sounded interesting. I didn't realize at first that it was in a call center and even when I did I didn't realize how horrible of a job that is. I sit there all day dreading the phone ringing so I can talk to customers.

OK I would be really sad if my current situation wasn't temporary. As it is, I've already decided that even if I don't have anything lined up by April 15 I'm quitting anyway, but I hope to be out of here within a month.

I won't go into much detail about the job, don't worry, I'll give you all the info after I've quit, but suffice to say it's one of those jobs you pray you don't get. You can probably guess it within 2-3 tries.

I have already been approved for a loan from the bank, and have spent several years running another business in this industry for someone else. I have studied successful and unsuccessful businesses in this field.

Of course there is an element of risk, but it's a risk I'm willing to take. The only thing I need is a location. Up until now, I have been devoting some time to finding the right place, but now that my two jobs are starting to get to me, I am going to devote every waking hour to this endeavor.

Today, after I get done wasting time at one of my jobs, I am meeting with an agent to look at a potential location. It's a great area and affordable, I'm just not sure there are enough potential customers as it isn't really a big town.

I’m scared to say I’m almost starting to like my job. My major gripe about this job was the hours: second shift, OT, and weekends at my main job, and part time at another job that I am trying to leverage into a career. What free time I have is when my friends are working so I have little/no life outside than work. But I went out Friday night, and you know what? I had a good time and I didn’t fall asleep at my desk on Saturday anymore than usual.

So at least I still have one night a week to hang out. I don’t drink so I don’t have to worry about waking up for work with a hangover. The people at my job are very nice and I actually feel good when I walk in there. The only times I mind it are actually when I’m NOT there (thinking about how I have no life) or when I am there late, things slow down, and almost everyone else has left and it’s hard to keep myself entertained.

When I started this job I thought I was dreaming...Sleep in everyday, make more money than I've ever made before, and not an unbearable job to boot. How wrong I was. You see, I work second shift and weekends. This means that I've had about 2-3 meaningful interactions with another human being over the past several months. I wake up and everyone else is at work- It's like an episode of the Twilight Zone where you wake up and your town is deserted.

OK so I'm being a bit overdramatic and overall I'm content for the moment, I'm just saying 2nd shift can suck. The other thing is the job isn't really related to what I want to do with my life. OK I must admit I am learning some valuable skills but I don't want to spend much of my life working this job.
