I've been working at my local Argos for just over a month now. When I say that I enjoy it, people seem to give me such a blank stare, turn and laugh and say something along the lines of 'just wait until you get into it'. But it's been a month now and I'm feeling more comfortable but enjoying it no less. It's always different, but still the same things. It's really a job that I enjoy, the right amount of repetition and real work. I am a good thinker, I know that I am an intelligent girl, but that doesn't mean that I want to actually use this for a job, I have enough of using my head outside of my work. I like to write and read, I like to learn new things about science, but I don't want these things to be a job.
Whenever I have time off it seems a shame. I actually don't have much of a social life outside of work and my computer and it's nice to see some people, co-workers and customers (even the ones I'm glad to see the back of). It may only be part-time, I may only be able to get a few hours a week, but I keep wanting more, for money and for being able to say that I'm doing something worthwhile.
This is a weekend off for me, the first weekend off in a while. I got the nickname 'Sunday Stealer' after three weeks in a row I managed to be given other people's Sunday shift. And now I'm off for a Sunday, and a Saturday, and even a Monday. There's not a lot left for me to do except go back to my old way of sitting in front of the computer watching the time go by unnoticed.
But the reasons why this weekend was different was because it was the first one I smiled at the idea of having free time. It wasn't because I'm worn out, because I've only worked two days in the last seven days and been doing so very little in the time-being. And it's not that I've lost my enjoyment for my new job either, it just feels... nice to have time off.
Having a job really does teach you what a 'day off' means. When you have no work, every day you find a job, I have a website which I continue to pour my heart and soul into and that while I had no job was my job, and something like that you never have a day off. But now with Argos, I have real job, and the site can go back to being my enjoyment.
So, in conclusion...
#I'm living for the weekend!#

Shameless advertising, I know. But I'm trying to sell my xbox 360, my DS and a few books. I've been still finding it a big struggle with money so I do need these sold. <3
