Do you have a job that you look forward to going to?

I was in Medical Sales until my lupus got bad and I wasn't allowed to work anymore. I loved every day of my job. But now I have been a wife and stay at home mom for the last 8 years and while it is the most worthwhile thing I will ever do, I don't know if I would say it is the most exciting or fulfulling choice. But it's what I have to do. I could never guarantee an employer that I could show up for work. I don't know how I will feel when I wake up. Sometimes I can't get out of bed, the meds make me really tired, I have lots of dr's appts, I have to be careful about germs because of my low WBC. But on the positve side, I get to see my daughter grow up. I know that if I had continued to work, I probably wouldn't be around to watch her graduate high school because I was wearing my body out. So this way I get plenty of rest. I just wish I had more energy so I could enjoy this stay-at-home job more.

I like my job, and love the staff,kids and environment, but it is taking a toll on me and my body already. I'm considering taking another direction. But I do look forward to it.

Sounds like we may do the same thing. I love what I do. I'm just seriously exhausted at this point, though. And I have 4 months to go before I get a real break. It's cool. I'm hangin'. I love my life right now.

I'd rather get a raging case of herpes than return to my job. I ing hate my work, my coworkers, my bosses, my commute. I feel I am way to smart to be doing the bull I'm doing. That is why I decided to work on a book of short stories tentatively led, Pinto Beans: A Collection of Short Stories by an Overweight, Drug Addicted Brown Man. I have 5 stories done with and am looking in the Writer's Market 2006 for places that will buy my extremely strange, yet hilarious, stories. If anyone wants to read one let me know. I'm willing to share.

Midget, I would like to read one of your stories. And if you are looking to get paid to write, look at the Craiglist ads for the bigger cities like NYC, Boston etc... There are ads for different independent contractor type things, which is how I earn my money. There are also a lot of literary-type websites and print anthologies looking for submissions. PM me if you would like a full list of resources, I have many.

Also, a book came out a few years back called "It's All in the Frijoles" that is a collection of Mexican-themed short stories. Your le reminded me of that book, although that one sucked. It was too positive for my more pessimistic literary taste. They should have called it "Frijoles for the Soul" like those chicken soup books.

I work at this Family Entertainment Center here in Tucson and its basically a giant arcade, sports bar, with 30 lanes of bowling and packed on the weekends with hot s and birthday parties. And its great because almost every girl that works there is attractive and single so yea I look forward to going to work.
