My Career Goals

November 3rd, 2008 · 2 Comments

I’ve been at Investments r Us for over 10 years.  When I initially started, at the tender age of 23, I was sure it was a temporary gig.  Corporate America was a world where I would live for a maximum of 2 years, where I would meet my future husband.  Once married, I’d quit and take care of the house and the kids. 

Here I am a decade later.  No husband.  No kids.  Trapped in Corporate America.  If I wasn’t so freaking tired right now, I’d throw myself out of the nearest first story window and end it all. 

Things are about to change, though, I can feel it!  After watching this clip about 50 times, I’ve made a decision: I’m going to quit my job.  I want to be a receptionist and clear phone lines just like Pam does.

Pam is my role model.  Not only does she get to help Michael by clearing the lines, but she gets to do it with Jim.  Yeah, yeah, I know it’s all made up stuff, but I can dream if I want to!

    I can well see how getting to boink Jim would make it worth leaving Investments R Us.

    He completes me and had me at “paper company.” -CS

    I’m a bit confused. How many blogs does one human need? I’m guessing 4. Is this Boondoggle’s other site?

    Boondoggle only wishes it was his other site. The fact is that he has a huge crush on me, he just doesn’t know it yet.

    And the correct answer is 4.

    A personal one: Bridget Jones Has Nothing on Me
    One off of a major site: The Catherinette Chronicles
    One off of a dating site: Kizmeet
    And one for a blogging magazine: Soapbox.

    I am busy and important. -CS
