Journal of the Caribbean Kangaroo

Apr. 14th, 2007 08:52 pm Hard Times

I had to sign an agreement today that said I wouldn't "blog" about the place I work.  At least, not in an unprofessional manner....

Can I just say that I hate that?  I mean...I'm a professional guy, or at least, I've tried to be.  But I'm also an artist, and I like to express myself once in a while, too.  

Honestly, I'm in an unhappy place right now.  Which is extremely frustrating, because I'm undertaking some incredible creative ventures--or I had just begun the process of going forward with them, when I jumped at the opportunity for a steady paycheck.    Slight paycut, more secluded area than where I'm used to working, way less floor traffic...and just less overall job satisfaction.   I feel like I'm killing my creative time by standing around for $X.XX an hour....

The work isn't all standing, and it isn't all nothing...but compared with what I should be doing, and should be earning, it is far, far less.

So I'm not going to badmouth my job.   I should be lucky to be earning at all.  But I know that it is not what I want to be doing with my life at this point.
