My co-worker with whom I've worked over night for the past four years turned in his two weeks' notice today. That kind of bums me out, not because I'll miss the guy, although I will - we work together, but we never really talk much. It bums me out because it reminds me that I'm no closer to getting out of there myself. This guy has zero ambition or motivation of any kind, yet he got a job before me, and one that pays more to boot. Maybe I'm aiming too high, because here I am trying to land something in an office whereas he just went for manual labor. Maybe I'm dumb for even letting it affect me at all. Maybe I just need to accept that my resume looks about as good as a cardboard pussy after a boxcutter gangbang.*
A while back my mom mentioned that they're looking for people for the management program at Walgreens. I'm thinking about looking into it. After office jobs, what I've been looking at most is retail assistant management since I have experience at that.
Reading this, I come across as a lot more down on myself than I actually am. My self-esteem's still okay. I just can't see why I'm getting nowhere, and seeing other people getting somewhere ahead of me just makes me want to get there that much faster.
*Because I know some wiseacre is going to ask, no I didn't spend all night thinking that one up. It only took about ten seconds, springing into my mind fully-formed like Athena from the head of mighty Zeus.
