I'm done trying (school and work rant)

I'm done you guys...

I'm not sure how many people follow my blog posts but I recently got a new job this past summer. I plan events for students on campus. I thought it would be a cool job. I thought it would like it. 

I don't.

All summer a drove 45 minutes twice a week in my 2004 car to my college to work this job. Yes it was annoying but I thought it was cool and I was hopeful for the future. Fast forward a few months. Summer is over. The semester starts. Homework starts. My actual tasks for my job starts.

I don't like it. 

It's not the worst job ever. I know people who work at the dining places and they hate it. But it can get so irritating. Even my mom noticed how irritated I've been lately and then it hit me.

I need to stop trying so hard. Here I am trying to work hard and be a team player and it seems like no one else is putting in the same effort. I care too much. The people I work with are lazy and fake. My supervisor is unorganized. Everything is also a mess. This is not how I like to operate. 

I'm going to start taking it easy. They aren't paying me enough to send emails when I'm not clocked in. They don't pay me enough to work every weekend. They don't pay me enough to keep going out of my way. 

I have school to focus on and that will be my priority. School comes first. Work comes second. I'm tired of this job stressing me out. I'm tired of being nice. I'm tired of feeling overwhelmed. 

I'm making this post to remind myself not to care so much. I want to put this in words so it becomes official. 

I'm done trying so hard. I'm done caring. I will do my job and go home.

Yeah I had a terrible job and your experience sounds very similar to mind. In the end its your life and if its getting in the way of your happiness just drop it and go.
