I'm thinking about taking a blue-collar job (Publix or something in that genre) as opposed to doing more transcription. The money would be considerably less there, but I am spending too much time on this comp. I'm really getting tired of it. Working at something like Publix would be a first for me in terms of a job where I don't need to wear office clothes and heels. I don't know how much I'm looking forward to it, but I should probably do this just for the experience. I've never worked a job like that before; never worked a cashier that wasn't at a conference, never been in any job that didn't command respect from all present, it's been a while since I wasn't the one in charge of everyone but the folks signing the checks or at least on the level of everyone else on my team. It will be strange to be treated like "everyone else" by my co-workers.
I guess that's what I always hated about the idea of working a blue-collar job: the sheer normalcy of it. All college students - and even high school kids - work these silly jobs over the summer. I didn't want to be like them. I suppose I viewed it as beneath my skill level; stupid and immature as that sounds. I ought to do this, even just because it is normal. If I started early enough, I'd still have time to do some white-collar work on the side & make good money. It would most likely do me good.
Besides, blue's always been one of my favorite colors.
