I like my work, its important to the economy and to individual people. In fact, its the most $$ I've made yet.

I'd really like to use my brain more. I think my neurons and synapses need more exercise.

On a side note: Having survived another Christmas season in the USPS, I just want to comment on the daily paradox of hearing Holiday music on the radios and watching Postal Emplopyees processing mail at a fever pitch




liking work is important... i can see you wanting to think more. could you apply for a higher position?

i like mail. maybe i should work for the post office...

or a shoe store. i'd like an excuse to run more.

when that program goes live i'll be responsible for it.

i think i could still get some experience in the short term... the computer work is killing me though.

if the reseller program sucks - i'm out for sure.


ok, so just get thru the computer stuff for now, at least you have a plan goin' on with the "if the reseller program sucks - i'm out for sure".

Problem is... the jobs that let you use your brain pay less than I make right now. With very little extra effort I could make $70K/yr. Low level supervisor/mgr jobs start around $ 40 - $ 45 K.

I think all jobs suck bloo, just milk the experience for a while, gather up a wad of money, build a shack in Montana and start living the good life.

the world is what you want it to make it, thanks. i feel sorry for anyone who thinks otherwise.

i'm just trying to figure out if i'm in a good starting spot for everything i want to do in life, creatively and monetarily, or if i'm spinning my wheels with work i won't be happy with.

i apologize for not being a moron and rolling over and 'dealing' with it.
