I Give Up · 5:36pm Jul 30th, 2014
I'm quitting my job. Why?
(tl;dr for Pokemon at the bottom.)
Well, if you know me, then you know I'm an ENFP on the Meyers-Briggs personality test. See that E? That stands for Extrovert. It means I get energy by working/talking with people.
My current job? Night janitor, saying nothing to anyone, except for the rare apology for being in someone's way, or pardon/excuse me.
That just... I am SO DRAINED every day when I get home... But I can't just go to bed, because I NEED to talk to someone... And when I wake up, I still have a need to talk to people, so I try to talk with people on DA and Skype. And then... it's time to go to work again.
I should NOT be working a job where I have to talk to others so much outside of work to feel even remotely content. I haven't even touched a video game for nearly two months. TWO MONTHS. And I'm supposed to be a beta tester for a ROM Hack, correcting grammar and giving my opinion on toughness, balance, etc! I just...
I haven't written much of anything either because of that. I'm just....
I give up. I'm quitting my job, which means I can't afford to buy anything at Bronycon, because I'll have to sell some of my assets/investments in order to pay for college. Then I have to look for another job. One that actually involves working with people. As hard/annoying as working at Dairy Queen was, at least I could talk to people. I may have been physically tired when I was done working, but at least I didn't have this NEED to talk to people when I got home. I could just shower and go straight to bed.
So yeah. Hopefully that means that I'll be removing the 'On Hiatus' tag sometime in a few weeks or so. Here's hoping.
I'm actually an INTP and my job involves constantly speaking with others. I work on a sales floor at a Target. Mebbe we oughta consider switching jobs. In all seriousness I hope you can find a job that will help with speaking with others soon. If I'm right Target actually will be hiring soon enough for the holiday season so that should help if you're still looking.
I'll talk to you any day baby.
2329152 Yeah, that's just not good. I'm almost forced to talk to people to relax at home, and that eats up all of my time. Even if I have to deal with stupid customers, it's still talking/socializing.
2329161 Thanks, though the problem isn't so much finding people to talk to as it is there being no one to talk to while working. THAT'S the problem. It forces me to talk to others while at home just to relax, and it eats up all of my free time.
