It really does amaze me how changing job roles at work makes all the difference to one’s outlook on the place.
Basically, working on the sales floor, seems a helluva lot more fun and productive than warehouse work. Despite my initial reluctance and shaky communication skills, I actually enjoy this quite considerably. Making the sale getting the bolt-ons added, matching and exceeding the targets…..
…..all in all, I feel a greater driving force selling stuff than I do lugging it around (although I still to get my own stock out whenever I can….)
As a result? I don’t feel quite so full of “guh” about getting out of bed on a workday, I’m more self-motivated and the fucking boss doesn’t get on my back to the same degree as before…..
None of this changes my desire to quit my job soon, but I think I might stay for just a little while longer to build up the all-important “experience” points employers scavenge for; salesperson experience at least gives me something to fall back on, should the road to what I really want get rickety for a while……
On a related note, my personal Unemployment Saving Scheme continues successfully; quite a handsome amount I’ve built up thus far. I’m rather pleased with myself there…..
Onward, MRDA!

good for you! i agree, tweeking the environment or circumstances of your workplace even the smallest amount can make all the difference. it’s easy to see everything wrong with a place when you hate it, but oh the difference it makes when you’re doing something even slightly better.
Very nice, good to hear things are going well.
