I am not happy with the new job after almost two months. I am currently looking at new options. And filling out more applications in the process. I actually thought of just walking away a few times. Life is too short to work for people like them. But the thing that is keeping me there for the time being is the fact I need the money, however little of it I actually get. That, and the the union rep keeps telling me that things are changing and that the employees should be pleased when the contract is finalized.
Basically, from what I heard, we are going to get a raise, and it is going to be retroactive to when the union was voted in. So everything I made, I'll get more money in a lump check. So who knows what will happen there.
The other thing this job did to me was made me realize just how much time I have wasted driving professionally. I used to love driving, but doing it for a living killed me of that. I often finding myself loathing my 120 mile a day commute in order to drive in circles for 10 hours a day. Its not worth it. That being said, I plan on looking at education options down here, so hopefully I can find a situation I can manage.
Im not regretting moving down to Tennessee, I believe I made the best decision for my life by coming down here. Now I need to get the rest of my life on track before I fall asleep behind the wheel, figuratively and literally.
Later All, Ill be around.
