I worked at a bookstore. They overworked me and underpaid me, taking advantage of the fact that I can't say no. I got so frazzled that I got seriously sick for awhile (ulcer, kidney infection).

So I quit. I have enough saved up that I could, technically, stay unemployed for the summer, not counting the unemployment checks. However, I don't want to wait -- I'm looking for another job as we speak. ^_^


*hugs*

Worked in a bookstore for a little while too, but left because of studies. Hope you get a better job!

Been meaning to ask you, Konami. Why did you quit and what were you doing?

Because, the education will MAINLY decide your job.

Like, Meave taking architecture, Meave can be an Architect, interior designer, animator for 3d, and other skills that Meave learn in the process of Arcihtect.

But...English... sweatdrop lol. Intrepreter?

So...are you saying my chosen career path is worthless, especially compared to yours? confused

Majoring in English doesn't mean the English language, but writing, grammar, literature...the list goes on.

The way you stated your comment sort of implied you were looking down on my major.

Yes. I've written many stories, plays and poems.

I'm not sure why you're asking me, though. Are you trying to give me career advice? sweatdrop

...*re-reads*no, Meave cannot read it in the sense of looking down. Meave look very high to languages. Meave love languages, just that Meave is not so sure that languages could be a good tool to earn LOADs of money....err....Meave's dream is to be a Zillionaire! xp >

...Career advice? No, just wanted to understand the situation. Because Meave wanted to know why you wanted to work in a bookshop? Are you so love to read books? oh, and did you send for publishing? xd

Meave want an author friend... sweatdrop

Ah, I see. Then I apologize for getting defensive.

As anyone who works in the fine arts can tell you, it's not really a vocation you get into for the money...not usually, anyway. sweatdrop It'd be nice to get published someday, but to be honest, I'm happy just reading all the books I can and focusing on improving other parts of myself and my life. Money just...isn't that high of a priority to me.

Because it seemed like a good job for me. sweatdrop I didn't choose the job for the sole purpose of furthering a career. It was there, I had skill, I needed money.

If I ever get published, I'll send you a signed book. whee
