I cannot wait to leave my job! I used to be a teacher but couldn’t stand the nightmarish children that some people seem to be spawning at an incredible rate these days. As a logical regression from teaching (bearing in mind I was desperate for the money) I become a science laboratory technician. Now thanks to the current job situation it seems like I will be here forever.
The most annoying thing is that in the last week I have realised that I am being severally underpaid for my job compared with the national average. I wouldn’t be that bothered, but I work exceptionally hard every day whilst my boss (on at least £8000 pa more than me), tries to do as little as he possibly can.
The one saving grace of it all is that I really like the rest of the staff that I work with, the women that work the photocopiers treat me like a son and the office cleaners are absolutely lovely. When I do finally get out of this joint, I will really miss everyone, but I know it is not a good enough reason to stay.
In an ideal world I would open my own business, something that all the family could get involved in and not have to worry about having children that can’t find a job. I would love to own something like a shop of cafe, but being realistic I do realise that you have to be very lucky to make independent businesses work these days with the abundance of big chain stores around. I can see the appeal of walking into Starbucks or McDonald’s, being served in seconds with a generic product that tastes exactly the same in every single shop they own, but where is the adventure in that?
