people at my job have really been irking me lately
i am not even going to go through everything because a lot of it is too stupid to even mention but i want to at least talk about this chick who is "above" me at work and what she said to me the other day so she comes up to me and she starts asking me questions about my job search and asking me if i want to move up and asking me what i'm going to do i told her i've been experiencing so much rejection that i'm starting to just think going back to school is the best option then she went into this moronic speech about how i need to figure out what i want to do before i do anything, and how going to school will mean nothing if i don't live up to her idea of certainty in knowing what career path i want to be on everything she said was so stupid.. i was listening intently- really trying to find a nugget of wisdom but there was nothing there... look the way i see it.. you don't always have to have everything in life figured out before you take action, you use two little things.. they're called faith and hope.. action is oftentimes a step of faith you don't always know the end of a thing when you start it.. you just start and hope for the best a lot of times most people who go to college for a bachelor's degree end up doing something totally diff than what they originally intended to do.. i imagine getting a master's degree or something would likely be somewhat similar and even if you did know EXACTLY what you wanted to do, no one is guaranteeing A. that the economy will still be in tact by the time you finish, or B. that the job will still be as lucrative or will still be located in the place you are hoping to do it at, or whatever there are so many factors and variables in life that you may not be able to pinpoint EXACTLY where an endeavor will lead you, but you don't sit around and fret and let your lack of certainty stop you.. you just get up and go so then, after she went into that nonsense about how i need to know my destination before i start or else starting would be a waste of time- then she started to go into the whole thing about taking out loans again.... DUMB LOGIC DO YOU THINK I GIVE A DAMN ABOUT LOANS!? LAST TIME I CHECKED, BLACK MALES WEREN'T EXACTLY AT THE TOP OF THE LIST OF PEOPLE TO HIRE so i should just keep working this dumbass job year after year being passed up for promotions and raises? or should i attempt to up my value in the workplace? you tell me i should just stay put and not waste my time going back to school right? why try to reach higher when i don't know where it may lead? why strive when i'll have to take out more scary loans? OH NO IM SHAKIN IN MY BOOTS! smh YOU PAY BACK STUDENT LOANS BASED ON YOUR INCOME and even if i didn't pay them the very worst that could even happen would be my checks would be garnished until they're paid off.. WOW.. big deal i guess i better stay put at my job i have now and hope it has a great retirement plan right! people are so dumb sometimes.. like why even talk to me? why even ask me what my plans are just so you can tell me all the ways you think they won't work? why ask me my plans just so you can tell me all the ways you think they are flawed? i see through your "advice and concern" to your weak heart of cowardice.. you don't want me to reach and capitalize on an opportunity to better my situation your "crab in a barrel" mentality is going to hurt YOU, not me so to that chick from my job.. i know you won't read this.. but for what it's worth.. you utterly disgust me
