In the bath...
It's a peaceful time with no interruptions, surrounding by lovely, hot, bubbly water.
I feel like a spaghetti mermaid lol!
I've been thinking.
I've been thinking so much that I can't sleep and my jaw is constantly cracking. I'm in overdrive and I can't switch off.
It's my future you see. It's not as far away as it once was.
When you're young, you imagine your life and future being in the far off distance and that things will just fall together - you'll get a good job, you'll have a car, you'll get married and you'll have babies.
Now to be completely honest, I really didn't think it was going to be as difficult as it has been just to get this far.
Somebody needs to let teenagers know, in a way that they will listen that life doesn't just come together. You've got to work and work hard.
I wish I knew then what I know now, my life would be so different. Although saying that, I was a horrible child so I don't know...
Something in my life needs to change.
I need to train to do something that will make a difference. A difference in my current job, enabling me to climb quicker up the ladder with more ease and an upper hand over others or something entirely different that will earn me a lot of money (because collecting money is a hobby of mine).
The problem I have is that I like the main basis of my job. I love working with fragrance. I love just smelling perfumes all day and instead of going home smelling of sweat or oil or whatever else, I come home stinking to high heaven of perfumes! Who wouldn't want that?!
The money wasn't important to me until everybody's hours were cut down to contract only.
This doesn't leave me in a great position. Now I either have to find a part-time job to bring me up to full time hours (and get taxed through my ass) or train to do something entirely different, stay with this job in the mean time and then leave for more money.
My future won't pay for itself...
Do the HR thing we discussed... You will be able to study whilst you earn. It's like accountancy, good money and every company needs more than 1 HR person. I think you will be great at that xx
ReplyDeleteIt's extremely intricate... Huge leap of faith... I will start looking at my options. It's going to take everything I've got to start again in something brand new. Makes me sweat just thinking about it.... X
ReplyDeleteDon't let it get to you that much Hun. Just think of this way, if you do something like that now, you will create a better future for yourself and Justin as well... You will be able to move in together quicker and you will be able to live very comfortably as well... Jut try and think even though it will be hard now, it's worth it. Because of my studies, I've been able to have a 4 and half grand salary jump... And HR works the same way as accountancy... The steps are very similar. You can start as junior and once you have passed probationary with a company, you can start studying with them as well...study whilst you earn. Xx
ReplyDeleteShut it show off! ;) haha!
ReplyDeleteIt's a big, scary jump! I've been in retail for 10 years. I don't know anything else! It's all foreign to me! :((
I'll get there. 5 year plan... Watch me haha! Xx
