Writing this makes me hate myself so much... Idk if I'm a lazy person or just stupidI'm posting this here in Your Fastlane Plan because sometimes, dead-end jobs are a necessary evil. We all have bills and obligations to pay -- sometimes dead-end *shit* jobs are just the bandaid we need to pay the bills while our greater focus is put into our efforts on business growth.
So with that said, what Dead-End *shit* jobs have you had? Do you currently have?
I was thinking back to all the crap jobs I've had and I am amazed I had the fortitude to endure it all.
My list:
1) Pizza delivery (Had to mop floors too)
2) Subway sandwich lunch driver (Lasted 3 weeks)
3) *Student* Painter (Lasted 6 weeks)
4) Charity organization can collector
5) Bus boy, Chinese restaurant (cockroaches in back!!!)
6) Wholesale flower deliverer
7) Plumbing day laborer
8) Stock boy, Sears Roebuck
9) Newspaper delivery at 3am in the morning
10) Hospital TV system auditor (lasted 2 days)
Much of these jobs I had after college graduation. :nonod:
If you find yourself in a *shit* job, take a deep breath and reassure yourself that it is only temporary. Your job is no predictor of your true potential but only a byproduct of your circumstances and your choices.
I did my best thinking while enduring these jobs -- I remember mopping floors and coming up with ideas as well as stockpiling motivation. The thoughts "I'm better than this!" builds and builds until the fire under your a$$ can no longer be tolerated and leaping into action is no longer an option, but a survival move.
- sell baby porridge (need to wake up 4.30 in the morning)
- tutoring until night 10 pm
- sell phone spare parts (mop the floor, the owner cut my salary because a co-worker steal something)
- cashier in a gaming cafe (mop the floor, clean the toilet, clean the smoker table full of trash and ash, the owner cut my salary cause customer steal something)
- back to tutoring again
- storage staff for clothes store (rats are there, toxic coworkers, my salary never full because red date in calendar - so how's that my fault?
- store staff in a petshop (mopping floor, clean the rack, work nightshift, and again the owner cut my salary because a co-worker steal money)
I don't mind mopping floor most of the time. But I will not let them cut my salary the 2nd time, when that time happened I resigned.
Gosh I do feel like shit that's why I'm currently looking for specialized labor job rather than labor job to fulfill my need. And I do write down in calendar this time as the deadline.
Open for feedback and critic to my mindset
