What Happened

I quit my job at Whataburger.

I did it to make myself happy. I was getting really depressed.

I wasn't making Whataburger happy, either. I wanted to make that place happy and I just couldn't adjust quickly enough.

I woke up and my body was like I'm going to flip out and kill someone today if I don't quit.  So I had to listen.  Got to stay safe.

So I'm back at home, with limited funds, looking for a job again.  Not just any job, but a job that fits me and that I can do without destroying myself.  I don't want to end up in another job where I can't promise what I said in the interview.


I feel really emotional and motivated.  This might be good for a new start.

I'm listening to The Fizzle Show's Podcast on Motivation.  It's some wisdom.

I signed up.  I did it.  The whole AVON thing.  Makeup, lotion, gifts.  I keep remembering this one student in college that talked to me at the bus station and I actually bought something that I thought was useful. It was a hair remover that I used for a while.  I think I can really help people.  She helped me by reaching out and this gives me a reason.

I need to talk to my mom about letting me use the other car.  Insurance is about $90.  I applied to UTA (I haven't paid the application fee yet.) and I made an appointment with the Nursing Advisor at TCC.  I don't really have a plan, but going to school and learning something could help.

There's this phone number for an at home sales job that I need to call, and there it is.   My plans for my new life.

Thank you, life.

Narrowing the Field

I've narrowed it down to several categories that I think I would be interested in. 

Plants
Animals
Writing
Secretary
At Home
Business

For plants I need to get outdoors and clean up the yard, maybe plant a garden and see how I like that.  I'm always pleased as punch when my native pepper plant bears fruit, taking care of plants seems rewarding, and my family has history with gardening, etc. 

I love animals.  So I'm thinking I need to volunteer at the animal shelter to see if it's a career path for me. 

Writing, well, I'm writing this blog, and I have a viable children's book idea, that I'm working on, so I'm doing that to see if I can make this work as a regular thing. 

As for secretary jobs, I do thing like make spreadsheets, organizing my desk and work, and make and fill out forms all day. My mom is a secretary and if I could share that with her, I'd feel even closer to her. 

At home, I've been cleaning to see if I could motivate myself in this environment and it's been paying off.  The next challenge is to put the baseboards up in my room and fix the sink. 

As for business, I've been working at one and seeing how it works and how it functions and how the people interact with the company. 

I know I'm missing aspects of these jobs that people need that I should be challenging myself to work on, but only you dear reader know what they are unless you comment.  I will be awaiting your wise words.
