The Job I Have

Hello Everyone: It looks like it's full steam ahead with the new job. I'm happy because I like to work and I this school looks like a place I could thrive. Still, there's a part of me that wants something better. That something better is the career job in historic preservation or at a museum. The good news about it is I'm finding more real entry-level positions and applying to them. See the opportunity, seize the opportunity. There's nothing wrong with wanting better for myself. The school job is nice and could lead to something even better. That would definitely be very nice. I would like to finally settle into something for good. Can I see myself staying at the school? Way too premature to tell. For all I know, I could end up running a mile from it after the first full week. I'm not pinning everything on the historic preservation or the museum job I applied to last week because I'm not the only person but I do have the confidence that I'm the best person for either one. Right now, I have to focus on the job I have, which is a teacher's assistant. Truthfully, I'm a little tired of being the TA, not the teacher. I know that with the right training and everything else I can be lead the class but without the credentials and experience, I'm stuck being the TA. It sometimes really feels like glorified child minding and, frankly, a bit beneath me. However, it is the job I have and it does pay pretty good. The job I want, the historic preservation job, isn't a reality. I may not even get an interview but, at least, I put my name in. It's better than thinking about putting my name in or waiting to be discovered. Anyway, I plan to approach the job I have with a positive attitude and an open mind because the opposite won't do anything for me except leave me out.
