Quitting a job has always come easy to me. I do it at the exact moment of realizing that the particular workplace environment is detrimental to my mental health and/or personal growth. Life is too short to give half of it away for no reward beyond a paycheck.
So now it's on to the next adventure. My husband is quite impressed with my employment resume and thinks I should write a book documenting my experiences, starting from my first job at a dry cleaning establishment stamping customers' names onto the inside of shirt collars and including the endless tales of bad bosses, workplace affairs, unfair employment practices and water cooler stories. I just might.
With 48 jobs to speak of I think he is exactly right. That would be a fun book both to write and to read I bet! Just need a good hook!
ReplyDeleteI am almost positive it is even more than 48 jobs. Just scour your memory and some more will appear!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I see it just like Studs Terkel's "Working", but with a humorous look that makes it kinda like Dilbert in essay form!
I believe NO ONE (perhaps in the history of time) has ever had as many diverse (and generally short lived) employment experiences as you, and so you are UNIQUE in your depth of first-hand knowledge, let alone UNIQUE in your point of view and way of spotting the truth in all situations!
i see a very amusing, insightful book . . .
