I just wanted to put a few words down on this warm Tuesday afternoon. One of the things I like about working by myself is I don't have to deal with other people and their dramas. I say this because I really have no patience for anybody's issues. It's no one in particular, at the moment but it's more of a general thing. I think that's one of the things that precludes me from finding something that involves dealing with the general public. I should get over it and learn to deal with co-workers if I want any chance at being happy at a job. I partially blame this on the fact that I spend so much time alone. I answer to and deal with no one so if there's a problem, it's all on me. I shouldn't let other people's issues get to me but it can make working anywhere a real drag. Years ago, I worked at a framing and art supply store where one of the assistant managers was a real pill. Nothing was right in her opinion. It all had to be by-the-book. Off course, it didn't help that she was still bitter about having to drop out of university to work. As I said the other day, I have no patience to deal with other people's insecurities. The other part of the problem is that I'm over qualified for most things. Having a graduate degree can be a real obstacle to finding any "just a paycheck job." It's not like anyone is reaching out to me. I don't depend on other people. You can't, it's useless. People can be such disappointments. I hate sound so negative but right now, that's how I feel.
