the cook today told me that i'm chronically depressed. he said that while many people don't like their jobs, i walk around moping all day and get exasperated extremely easily (though he didn't say exasperated - i think that's too big of a word for him. he probably said i'm crabby all the time). he advised me to just accept the fact that i'm stuck there. he says once i do i'll be much happier.
shortly thereafter, one of the nursing assistants stopped me and told me that i'm a very good waitress. 'i can tell you really like your job. you like the people and are so good with them. you like it here.'
i went back into the kitchen and told the cook that i deserve the oscar for best actress.

maybe when you're around the cook you don't like your job ;) -- & you're not stuck there, btw :) ...and good job being such a good waitress/actress! :)
i like my job better when he's there, and yes, i am stuck there
how are you stuck there?
have you seen me get out of there yet?
but that doesn't mean you're stuck there for good!
either change your situation or accept it. stop moping, because it's affecting your witness.
how do i change it, though? that's the problem.
start with the want ads
i've tried a few times and get nowhere. i'm neither a nurse, nor an engineer, nor an IT person, nor do i want to be any of those things. so frustrating.
I know it's hard to be where you don't want to be. I think God is really using you and teaching you where you are now. Even a crappy job, if done for the glory of God, can be a powerful witness and character builder. If you really want to move, then maybe get in contact with an agency that helps people find jobs- they'll have a wider range of stuff than just what ends up in the want ads.
i'm thinking i should see a job counselor. but that sounds scary, so i haven't yet. though after today at work, who knows?
