I woke up at 5am this morning and took a shower. Out of nowhere I started remembering all of the bits and pieces of my last job that I dreaded... The contractor who wouldn't shake my hand and instead belittled me for what seemed like an eternity while his face turned beet red. The crazy lady who would call me 2 or 3 times a day to complain for hours about how her house was torn apart. The stress of having to meet sales goals while trying not to make my clients feel pressured into making big triple digit decisions too quickly. The answering machine FULL of nasty voice mails first thing in the morning....
It's so weird to me to write this. Anyone who knows me knows I am unbelievable (aka annoyingly) positive. I am a people pleaser but the honest kind. I am not a good lier. And I really was good at my job too. I swear! I wasn't a pushover or anything, I was tough! It's just that apparently I really didn't like it.
Since being laid off I haven't contacted any of my clients to set up appointments to take pictures of the remodels I did for them. The truth is, I don't want to. I don't want to be needed in the way they needed me ever again.
BUT next time around...I think I want to have a career where I help people in need not people with wants. Everything happens for a reason though. I'm thankful I had that experience.
