New Job, Second Semester, and What I've Learned so Far!
In lack of a more creative introduction, I humbly state, It's been a while. I haven't posted in quite a while, and it seems like I only do this as extreme therapy at this point. I swear I only post when something traumatic is happening in my life. Well, today is no exception. I just got hired by a HUGE international company (sorry no names). I've also been going to college for what is now 2 semesters. I have a 4.0 and the bags under my eyes will kill me soon if the McDonalds fails. Life is good.
Yesterday I was interviewed to become a "Logistics Operator". That's a fancy pretentious word for box mover and inventory organizer. Fortunately I got the job! Of course, the only reason I applied in the first place was because I basically lost my current job. Boss man came a crying for me to come back in though, and money is money, so I crammed my pride in my anal cavity and came back to work. I didn't even think my application was considered until I got the call last week from HR. I'm excited to get started, but my nervousness is crawling across my whole being like spiders on a fresh fly. This is a lot to take in. I mean I didn't LOVE my old job, but it had it's high points. The transition from administration to manual labor will be rough but I've done plenty of manual labor in the past so I feel fairly confident in my abilities to endure. I'm more worried about the new social dynamics than anything, especially since me and authority don't mix too well. Try connecting the invisible force fields of two super magnets and you'll get a good physical representation.
I know I went rambling on about philosophy as a potential major in my last post. Well, after long contemplation, and samples of the community, I came to the conclusion that it wasn't as good a fit for me as I had first thought. There really is no viable application for a philosophy degree out in the real world. I still believe that philosophy is of crucial importance, only it does a very poor job at putting bread in the belly. I decided to pursue psychology and become a clinical psychologist. I absolutely love the idea of opening up my own practice, having the option to do psychological research, and potentially teaching the next generation when I'm old and grumpy. I've always been fascinated with how people work, and I've always wanted to treat mental illnesses so this is a great goal for me personally. Of course, I'll still be reading epic, abstract, and often word salad filled philosophy books every night though.
That about sums it up. I hope everyone enjoyed reading the update. Have a great couple of months because chances are, with my track record, I won't be posting another article for a few months. Peace.
