My life lately
To be honest my life lately has been pretty boring. I was thinking about it last night and I feel pretty spoiled. I was laying in a hammock watching the sunset against the palm tree in my backyard on the island where I live. I see the sunrise over the ocean most mornings and get paid to work with sea turtles. I don't have to pay rent as long as I do yard work and I never have to worry about wearing a jacket. Why am I feeling stressed and unsatisfied with my life? I'm not quite sure about that one, but I am sure about how I feel. I'm bored. I'm bored at work, I'm bored at church and I'm bored with going to the beach. I know sounds bad, but I'm there 40 hrs/wk for work and it's not like normal beaches. There are soo many bugs and gross things in the water I don't even like to go in anymore. And I can only handle so much sun before I feel like I'm cooking myself. Oh, and an explanation for being bored at work? Well, I do "work with sea turtles" but lets be honest-I've seen about 5 turtles since I got here and I work 40-50 hrs/wk. Most of my time is spend washing and gasing vehicles or trying to make myself appear busy so our completely insane project manager will think I'm a good worker and let me patrol more. Oh and by the way, NEVER take a job that has patrol in the job description. All that means is that you will be driving around by yourself waiting for something to happen (which I guess is better than wandering around headquarters trying to create work for yourself). BORING! I do like my job when something is happening (turtles nesting or hatching) but I wish we could just be on call or something. I can't handle much more of this. But that is the beauty of the seasonal worker. I don't have to. So now I am faced with what to do when the job is over. I think I'll just apply for as many jobs as I can and take the one that pays the most...and wont be boring.
