Dec. 14th, 2005 05:02 pmi don't want to make my friends who really work hard for a living feel bad. i know most of you work much harder than i ever have. i think i'm really finding it soul-sucking because it's not important to me. it's not toward a degree or raising kids or saving the world or anything. the only profit anyone gets from it is just that - profit - most of which goes to shareholders. so at the end of the day i feel i've worked this hard for nothing. at least at my other job, i can see the people i'm helping at the end of the day. i know how it affects them. that makes a difference to me. i'm making sure people who are temporarily single parents know where to go for childcare. i'm getting the word out on education options for people trying to finish college. i'm advertising diversions for people who have too many worries in their lives and need something fun to distract them. that i can do comfortably. this other job is just money in pockets.
