So, I've been holding out at work, hoping that I would get to go back to my regular job responsibilities, right? Well, the only person in production (besides the manager) is in California this week for her sisters wedding and so I've been helping out over there. I came to a frustrating conclusion yesterday that production simply isn't busy enough to need me. No one told me this, and I guess I could be wrong. But if customer service is busier than production, what's stopping them from keeping me here in customer service? Here I was, thinking that in a few months everything will be back to normal and they would put me back in there. But from what I can see, they don't have a need for me. Unless we start selling more flyers and cds, I'm confident that I won't be able to get my job back. This might be a little snobby (I'm pretty sure it is), but I didn't come here to do customer service. In fact, working here has helped me realize that customer service/administrative/clerical jobs are not for me. I used to seek those out because I figured they would be easier for when Cody and I decide to have kids. I would rather wait long enough for us to be financially stable, so I can miss some work while I'm pregnant. I would rather wait than be stuck in a job that will mess with my emotions when I will already be emotional.
I know ya'll are probably sick of me blogging about this, but it's a big frustration in my life right now. I'm hoping that I will be able to settle down here pretty soon and just do my job. I've talked to a few people who transfered here and they have told me that it gets easier. Once I get mor comfortable and learn more tricks, I'll be fine. The point is, I'm confident that I will not, in fact, be getting my old job back. That means, as soon as I can, I will be leaving this sinking ship. I have to keep my best interests at heart and being in a company where I won't go anywhere is not where I should be.
P.S. On a happy note, I had an awesome Tuesday night with my friends and watching Confessions of a Shopaholic. I've missed my dear movie-night friends, so it was wonderful!

Are you still looking for work elsewhere while you continue to struggle at your currnet place of employment?
@ProfessorTom - Yes, there just isn't a lot in my line of work available right now.. But I am looking for sure. I just think it's smarter, financially, to wait until we're in our house. That way I can get a job in a different industry without losing our mortgage.
@eucharis12 - What is "your field"? And where are you now currently?
@ProfessorTom - my preferred field (and the field I would need to go in to get our loan) is shipping or production or receiving. I love doing it, it just works for me! I am currently doing customer service for a real estate marketing company (we do virtual tours and such for agents).
