I've been with this company for almost 4 years. And the reasons I'm there for so long are because it was laid back and management was easy to work with.

But now since all of that has changed for the worse, I need to move on.

 

[wyndslash]

Oh. I thought you were still a student

 

[chanchan05]

I want to take a part time job for extra money. But school doesn't give me enough time for it.

 

[wyndslash]

Are you in college?

 

[Revenant Ghost]

Oh. I thought you were still a student

Oh no, I'm in my early 30's. I need to take up something though. Learning a trade would probably be for the best since college isn't for me.

You can do one of those short term, special training courses?

 

[chanchan05]

Are you in college?

Nope, graduated already. I'm in med school. Lol.

 

[wyndslash]

Nope, graduated already. I'm in med school. Lol.

Then no time for a part time job lol.

Right, something like that. I just need to start motivating myself.

Think about it like a fresh start

 

[chanchan05]

Then no time for a part time job lol.

Yeah like I said. Haha. Could use the extra cash though.

 

[wyndslash]

It'll pay well once you're a doc

 

[chanchan05]

Not true. Once I pass the boards, pay sucks (anywhere between 15-25k depending on the hospital that gives the residency) for another 3-6 years, before I get to be a specialist. Even then I can't charge much because I'm "new". Earning 15k a month at 28yo isn't paying well.

 

[wyndslash]

Oh. I thought you're going to get a job in the US. my cousin did, not that I approve.

 

[Revenant Ghost]

Think about it like a fresh start

Starting over huh? Well it wouldn't be the first time. However, I know I need to do something about it. Things can't remain as they are.

Do you ever get the feeling that life is passing you by?

 

[wyndslash]

Though I don't remember my cousin getting paid that much during his residency

 

[chanchan05]

I'll consider the US but meh, it's not me. Lol. Besides the taxpayers paid for my college so might as well give something back (product of UP). Haha!

My cousin was from UP too and he was a scholar. He doesn't think that way but good for you

 

[shelliewnj]

Life passing you by... Yup, I identify. I'm not my *cough cough* mid thirties and let me tell you about boring jobs. I type for a living. Literally. My boss sends me an audio. I type it. I send it back. She sends another. And so on. But at least I can be home for the kids when they get off the bus

 

[wyndslash]

At least you're not missing out on your kids

 

[Codegerm]

The Show was great. It included the bands Sister Hazel, and the Fray

 

[wyndslash]

glad you had a great time

 

[Codegerm]

Is Tebow going to make a special appearance? :vroam:

No, but he is definitely welcome here in Gainesville

So what is everyone's weekend plans?

Gator Growl tonight, Gator Game Saturday

Unfortunately, Veterans Day is just another day, according to my job.

That sucks. Far too many businesses are like that.

Customer Service at a call center. And TJ says his occupation is boring. :/

I have seen some of those places. Cingular (now AT&T and really always was) has one in Ocala, FL. It was one big "Dilbert cubicle zone" I straightened out their Access control system, and from then on they would only let me service it when they called ADT for service.

It was rather funny that even though their business was cellular service, employees weren't allowed to use cellphones in the building.

 

[wyndslash]

they probably don't want their employees distracted

 

[Codegerm]

It is a call in center for a cellular provider. They are on the phone all the time there. LOL
