Out with the Old Job, In with the New Job (Make-up Post 3)

Well, I started a new job today. I’m still working at UCO at Central Plaza for housing on weekends too so my schedule is getting crowded. I’m kind of sad because I know that with starting this new job it’ll mean the end to my old job. I’ve worked at the CP for going on three years now and I’ve made a lot of friends I won’t forget. I’m just worried that when I’m not going to be around them on a regular basis I’ll start to lose touch with them. I guess that’s the natural fear you have when you leave a place. Will they remember you? I hope I’ve made an impact in a positive way on the CP, but I won’t hold my breath. LOL and if not at least I have the water gun wars. Housing is one of those jobs that you do that nobody notices. Just like fast food servers or waiters at IHOP. Normally, unless their cute or they do something to piss you off, you never remember them; their just another faceless person among the masses doing some trivial job. I guess in that respect it’s the person that defines the job, not the job that defines the person. Back to my new job… I’ve started working at Dobson Cellular as a loyalty associate. Training was alright because it was in the corporate office and with that being said its sad now much of a difference in stature you feel when your on the bottom wrung going into a entry level job and you train in the building the executives work. The stark difference that pointed out in that way can really suck. We couldn’t even get on the third floor because our ID badges didn’t scan us into the area. Imagine that… A floor where their doing paperwork (if that), where the executives work and we can’t even get access to the bathroom on the same floor. Not to mention the private elevator on the 3rd floor completely separate from the main ones that allows exclusive access to the President’s office. Capitalistic elitism at its finest, after all we wouldn’t want the riff raff employees to mingle with the executives, some work might rub off. But in all other aspects I like my job. I know it’s not promotable because of the fossils in front of me who shouldn’t even be managers, but I think that’s a good thing. It reminds me that this isn’t the job I’m going to have for the rest of my life or even more than two years. It gives me a reason to continue my education and complete my Masters degree in photograph or film studies. And I think that’s more important, the implication that I still have to strive to achieve my dreams and not settle for where I’m at right now. Still the place reminds me of my old job at Client Logic where the pay was good enough to live and the people around you were great to talk to so in that respect, at least for now, I’m happy where I’m at. All considering that’s really the most you could ask for in a job.
