Hey people.

I guess I’m kind of sort of back, but not really. I’m sure I’ll probably not blog again for another month or two after this, but whatever. That was a bit of a run-on sentence, wasn’t it?

So, yeah, I’m looking for a new career. So if anybody knows of any openings, drop me a line.

What’s the problem with my current career you ask? Well for starters I am surrounded by assholes…and I’m not just quoting Spaceballs there. Seriously, all the people in my office would sell off their first child if it meant an extra few dollars under their management. I, on the other hand, have what we call morals. Which basically means I’m not going anywhere in this business.
Second, my company in particular is going through a process of firing people. I don’t have too much of a problem with this in the company’s terms. But the way that they are going about it is a really shitty, underhanded way. It has created paranoia among my colleagues that I have never seen before. It has made pretty much everyone close to me begin a quest to find the job that they are going to next. It is really depressing to see day in and day out. (I do want to note that I’m not paranoid and that is not why I’m looking to change careers).
The last reason I’m moving on is because I am not suited to perform in my job. In my position, to succeed you have to be able to network with people without any qualms about anything. The way that I am is very introspective and I hate talking with people. So, when it comes to prospecting, I am absolutely terrible at it. I can’t just go out and meet new people and bring in their assets. That’s not who I am. It doesn’t cater to my skill set. SO, WHY AM I WASTING MY TIME AT THIS JOB? What I really should be doing is something along the lines of an analytical position. Yet, in order to get in with those companies, I have to network. It’s the man keeping me down.

It’s not all bad news around here though. I’ve fallen in love. Yeah, it hit me with surprise too. I’ve finally found a song that I absolutely love. I just kind of stumbled upon it one day and have been listening to it multiple times each day since. So, what is this magical song that has bought such a strong feeling out of a robotic, unemotional man? It is “Sweet Thing” by Van Morrison. I had purchased The Best of Van Morrison a while back because I enjoyed several of his songs like; “Moondance”, “Gloria”, “Domino”, and “Brown Eyed Girl”. So, one night I was listening to the CD and on came “Sweet Thing” needless to say, I was blown away. It just struck a chord with me. It has a mellow jazz feeling to it with very emotional vocals. I especially appreciated the stand-up bass on it. All of the elements just come together to make for a song that I cherish.

In conclusion, I’d like to reiterate that I am looking for an analyst job. So, please hook me up.
