i really enjoyed reading this post. yeah, it was kinda long for me (cus i don’t like reading long post) but i suprised to find myself I DIDN’t stop half way as it was just keeping me going.

We have a similar situation here. I’m very paranoid of changes. I’ve started working as a beauty consultant in a skincare company for 1 year and was promoted as a supervisor but UNDERPAID supervisor -.- I know. Everyone was telling me to find another job which I may deserve better. But i’m jus so scared of making changes….

So yeah, i still stuck in this job and its going to be 2 years. However, i foresee myself getting a new job in next year where I could use my creativity and find my own happiness.

Omg girl, I totally feel you. I’ve been working since 16 non stop. And I honestly would go crazy if I didn’t have something to do everyday…obviously financial independence is necessary to my existence. But it’s more that… it keeps me sane lol! I understand though that times are tough these days…but I truly feel like many of the people without jobs…just aren’t trying hard enough.

Wow this was a very lovely post of ” getting to know Janice” lol =)
I’m 19 1/2 and i just got my first job about a month ago. I was extremely happy because i love the freedom money gives you. So far ive been happy and i really cant imagine going back but this last week and this coming week I’ve been working 40 hours which is alot. And it was getting kinda hard for me Especially when before i worked i never did anything but lay around and watch tv. It kind of put things into perspective for me. I finally know what my mom goes through everyday. and i realized how lazy ive become. I like working it helps my makeup collection grow and gives me freedom to go out and do things =)

I am self employed and like you I like to keep myself busy so sometimes I might take up part/full time jobs as well as run my business. I like time freedom so whatever I do it must be flexible.

I think a lot of people have the wrong attitude towards their jobs. They always think that if I get paid more I will do more but it is the other way around. A few people I know are like that then they just complain about work and their boss and people which is a big NO!! I learnt at a young age that if someone is paying you to do your job, you have no right to complain about it.
