This week I heard, that we didn't get a big proposal. It means that past December, we have no idea what will happen. Last year I was retrenched and rehired and I can't do it again. So I am looking for other jobs..but here is the thing
I don't want to settle. I don't want to have a job, I want a career. I want to feel good about what I am doing and proud of the contribution I am making in society---but because of the time, all I see is jobs and not careers. I would give my all, if I could get a job at the UN or work with a global agency that address woman and child empowerment and development. I want to move forward and not back...even though its come about in a crappy way, this is opportunity for me to rise up and seize something amazing and wonderful - but the life of me, I can't find it.
If I don't find an extension of my career, I will have to settle for a job because bills still need to be paid.
At times like this, I wish I could get a career in a foreign land - new surroundings, new people. I am open to universe and I am ready to learn, but please, please just don't take me backwards...
Hey Xena!!!
ReplyDeleteNo one can take you backwards. I kinda know the feeling. You see, Im into writing. I write short stories. Thats my thing. Unfortunately, here in Mexico it is not an option for me to make a living by it. So i had to settle on the family business.
These days Im grateful I have a job. Mr.P is currently unemployed and isnt helping at all with the bills. But the feeling of wanting something that fulfills me on the career department has been lingering for a while.
So dont let it bring you down, sometimes we must take a crappy opportunity in order to get ready for the BIG ONE. I bet youll be on your own track in a couple of years, just dont give up!!!
Cheer up Xena, the universe conspires to make us all happy eventually!!!
