This is not what I had in mind. I always thought that the “working gene” would eventually shine through and I would all of a sudden love working or something. It hasn’t happened. At all. Working sucks. I have a drive to be successful I just think I’m scared of failing or not being what I thought I would and could be.
Or I could just be lazy.
I’m walking a super thin line at work right now. I’ve had “chats” with my boss, as well as my boss’s boss. NOT GOOD CHATS PEOPLE. These “chats” consisted basically of ” start fucking working and getting here on time or…” UGHH. The only good thing going for me right now (very good thing) is my boss’s boss is really my dad. So I figure I’m safe. But I’m really not. How humiliating would THAT be? Get fired from your daddy’s company. That Burn is gonna leave a scar. I’d fall into a deep depression, as well as deep into debt.
Which makes me wonder what the Fuck I’m doing with my life?!? Am I really just waiting for some rich, smart, funny and gorgeous man to fall in love with me? I mean I’m not the kinda girl to rely on a guy, I can take care of myself! I just don’t really want to sometimes. There are just not enough hours in the day to get everything done. Especially now that it gets dark at like 5 PM. Ridic.
Ok 10 helpful tips so you people don’t get into my situation… ahem…
1. Don’t move cross country to move in with your boyfriend, especially when he’s still in school. You WILL end up paying for almost everything and will leave (leave=out of the blue breakup) 6 months later wiser… yes, but also very much in debt.
2. Don’t stay out/up till 3 and 4 in the morning. It makes it hard (aka impossible) to get up and be at work by 9 AM. If you do make it to work you will be a useless pile of sleepy.
3. Don’t dream dreams that you have no intention of following (like being an actress, singer, other super talented rich career path, doctor, etc.) It will only make your current life seem not good enough and you will always just be waiting for that something that may never happen b/c you didn’t go for it.
4. GO FOR IT!
5. GO FOR IT WHILE YOUR PARENTS WILL STILL PAY FOR IT!!! (<<VERY IMPORTANT)
6. Don’t do drugs. Seriously, they are so freagin stupid. They will only kill you. Trust me, I’ve had friends die from them and I’ve never ever had a friend become a better person b/c of them. Ever. (this does not mean I did drugs at all, it means Ive seen what they do to people)
7. Work hard, and get used to it. I grew up without having to have a job. So when I did have to get a job it was a huge huge reality shock. I had no idea what I was getting into. I mean sure, in college I was a waitress. I thought I was really working but honestly, I ran that place. If I didn’t wanna work, I didn’t work. And when I did, I made bank. Work didn’t start till 4 PM. It was so much fun. The real world is not like this, and I don’t like it.
8. Don’t move back home (with your parents) after college. Just don’t do it. I cannot stress this enough. You think it’s a good idea b/c you’re saving money yaaay for saving money. NO. It will slowly kill you and strip you of your independence.
9. Don’t act like a silly little girl at work or in front of your boss. Because he/she will really think you’re stupid. and how does that help your career?
10. You’re only young once, so do whatever the Fuck you want to. If you don’t… you will probably regret not doing it. These are the lessons you learn (plus some others not listed) and everyone’s gotta learn them on their own. Just don’t fuck up too bad.
Ok it is so time to get out of here. One more thing…
