A boring post but we finally have a lovely hot sunny day here in the UK and i've to be in work in half an hour!!!

MWWWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! ( tantrum) IT'S NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!

I thought 30 mins interval training on my exercise bike might wake me up which it did but now i'm hot, feeling good and could just curl up and chat rubbish to my babies. HOWEVER bedpans, vomit bowls, blood, guts, gore and wards with NO air con beckon!!!

HEEELLLLPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can you work in a hospital with no AC? That makes no sense at all... (Ok, I'm presuming, with the description you gave, that you work in a hospital. I suppose it's also possible that you work in a gladiator arena )

I'm so glad to see you feeling better
Taz i totally understand! i've been off from work about 2 months and am really spoiled. Suppose to go to work next week and my babies are looking sad already.
Have a great day.

You know what, I actually want to work, it's really hard to pay for fish without a job. But I know how you feel, I have to do that for school, but this is a little late...............stupid

And am going through a phase where I really dislike my job! Yak!

Oooo, want to be my business partner? I want to start my own business AND move to Australia! You could use my business expertise and your fish expertise and we'd make millions!!!! And I'll stop dreaming... Now.

Well I wanted to open my own bookstore and I had all these great ideas, but I've researched the market and it would really be financial suicide to open one in our area, no matter how much time and energy and originality you put in.

I am getting really fed up with my job as I am not taking that much out of it anymore. I am an IT consultant, which means that I help the customer use our software in the best way possible. Each project lasts about a year, during which I have to be with my customer at least 3 to 4 days a week, no matter where they are in the world...

All this travelling for 5 years is starting to feel like too much and I want something to call my own now. It's time to move on. Only I dont' know what. You never know, in 6 months' time, I could be doing exactly the same thing for another employer...

armadillo

Oh, and I think that your idea to start as an employee and learn the ropes is TOTALLY realistic. I think you can totally do it.

Thanks, Callum. I think you're right! I've been hiding behind the conventional job track for very long, and it's time to pursue my dream and leave my trace in this world! Only don't know what in... :P

Haha! Gladiator areana!! love that, feels like one sometimes but yes a hospital. It wasn't too bad a shift apart from one buzzer happy guy that when you got to him said, i didn't press it ( whislt holding it in his hand) It was 85 degrees so was too hot to work!

I'm off today but feel like i have been dug up!!!

And i agree work = money = new fish tank etc!!!!

Look...I work in a small nursing home in Oklahoma and we don't have AC most of the time. I do all the baths in a small steamy room and I have heat related Asama...my doctor bill to terrible. We had a cook fall out yesterday and the maintenance man will not fix the AC. The state inspectors were called in and will be here today...I HOPE...I may lose my job...BUT...I'm not laing for anyone about these work problems.......... ...love fishlore and love my poor fish.

armadillo

Oh no. How stressful. I hope it all turns out alright for you, Audrey.

Tazmiche

I too have worked a nursing home..... wash, dress, feed, make beds, do laundry, put laundry away, make sure rooms ok for relatives to see, change pads, cook food when chef off, wash dishes when kitchen staff off............................and ensure residents happy and entertained then paper work.

I LOVED the residents VERY VERY much and felt so guilty for leaving BUT The job was TOO much. Little time off and 100% miles an hour when in. A VERY poorly understood/underpaid job.......I could rant for hours about this but i have just remembered it is fishlore!!!! Sorry!!

COBettaCouple

i've been going thru that all my life.

armadillo

Seriously? Am really thinking more and more that it doesn't have to be that way.

Callum The Cat

armadillo

I was just going to refer to Callum, actually. You know, you really inspired me, Callum, the other day, when you said about following your dream. There's no reason why not.

Callum The Cat

It's just that I get cold feet with the whole financial security aspect of things, but I still think that Bill Gates, etc. ALL started with a vision, and they didn't let other people tell them it was unrealistic, etc.

it doesn't hurt to ruthlessly and unethically crush any competition and buy legal immunity either.

AlisonChristine

Well... That's the fun part. WORLD DOMINATION!! Muahahahaha


Ahem.



But seriously, jobs=money=happiness/fish. I definitely spent about a week's worth of salary tonight getting stuff for my 10gal for school. Nice. Well worth it, can't wait to get it set up.

Tazmiche

isn't it such a fantastic BUZZ buying new stuff for yet another set up!!!

I like how you put it. Sure clarifies the broad lines in our career decisions. In fact, just copy/pasted it in my enterpreneur folder. That's how I take initiative: I classify! I think I've found my dream job: librarian.

And I totally agree about Callum. He kinda inspired me to not entirely give up on my latest enterpreneurial idea. I'll come sue him when I go bankrupt!

AlisonChristine

Well, this is kind of my first setup that I'm doing by myself, so yes, major buzz. Before it was just the parentals getting the whole boxed sets, whereas this time I got to pick out the lighting, filter, decorations and whatnot, and I had a BLAST doing it.
