Work sucks!

Reminds me of an old Twilight Zone episode. The one with the burnt out executive on the commuter train. "Willoughby. Next stop, Willoughby".

Maybe the new moon is "tugging on your head" and amplifying your dissatisfaction with things. People tend to get disaffected, pissy, depressed, disgruntled, oversensitive, and rebellious around the new moon. I've seen it happen too many times to count. For what it's worth. Below is the moon chart for this month. Gray area signifies window of influence for the new moon. Saturday is the 17th.

Hi free*world, that's really funny, because I also just signed on for "The Perfect Job" for me, after a few years of not having one ... and it came at "The Perfect Moment" too!   I'll share the story briefly as it is appropriate to this thread. Mencius, I hope the following might serve as a helpful clue to you:

Just over a month or so ago, things were starting to get a bit close to the edge for me financially.  I was becoming concerned about what I would do, since I didn't have anything in particular lined up and I needed to come up with something rather quickly.    One day around this time, I had a synchronistic urge to go back and read "The Way Out."  This was a short booklet I had gotten (courtesy of Montalk) addressed to any people having concerns about money, consisting of basic instructions on keeping out any negative thoughts.  More importantly, however, it instructed that the reader ought to repeat the following on a daily basis:

The book suggested practicing this for at least a month.   Within a couple of days of starting to do so, I found the online posting for a job that appeared to be a perfect match for me.  I applied, did some required testing, and consciously intended that I would get this job, AND get offered the highest possible salary, if it was within the will of the Divine, and in the best interests of all.  Within the month it was confirmed that the job was mine,  exactly as I had intended and asked for.

Not bad.  I'd suggest focusing your attention on getting yourself in "right standing" with God (whatever you conceive Him/Her/It to be), and maybe downloading a copy of this text and following the suggestions you find therein.   I did and am quite satisfied with the results.     It's one of those times where my intellect is saying "That MUST have just been a coincidence!" ... but I've now had way too many "woo-woo" experiences in my life to know better.   It was no coincidence: it was the Spirit at work.    Pretty powerful stuff, it seems to me.

Thanks for the input, friends.

I definately feel the new moon energy. Two nights ago I had inexplicably horrid dreams. I was hanging out with extended family members, and the whole time I was very upset. I tried desperately to cry, but my eyes had to teers. Probably some loosh, though... I've also noticed it with friends.

The job is over for me, my scheduled days are through. They called me this morning asking if I could work today and I very happily said 'no thanks!'

Lyra, you are right. I am one of those people not cut out for the work world. I've never held a job for more than two months. I can't stand having a boss and having all those rules. It really pains me to be subservient to someone else that I don't respect and didn't really choose. Thanks for your encouragement to make money in more appropriate ways. I have oft considered lessons, but I've never really wanted to do it because I'm not terribly commited geographically, and I'd hate to string people along. But that's changing...

Well, its' a warm sunny day. I'm off to breakies...

I've never been really one for work...I can do it, but I find that it needs to be doing something creative that uses alot of different areas of my brain and spirit for true inspiration to be able to come through. I've worked many 8 hour shifts, at a place where I was making food while singing...man, I picked the weirdest job. It was my first job, and I stayed there for a little too long. I'm currently jobless, (though going to college is a quasi-job) but I'm really not into the whole "service" industry kind of thing...I'd rather do something that's beyond making basically pre-prepared food, to something that involves my creative capacities and really makes a dent on the minds of people I interact with, directly or indirectly. We'll all find our place, rest assured...it just comes down to how fast you find it. Use your imagination, draw a mindmap of what you really want, and think of the different ways you can achieve your goals...trying to find the connections that will focus your efforts and make it clear to yourself that "This is what I want...this is what I'm gonna get"
I'm in that situation in college right now as a second year student without an idea in hell of what I'm going to major in. But the way I look at things, is that we're always given at some point in our lives, maybe in the depths of wandering around aimlessly, where a path unfolds before us. The task you are endowed with is to put forth the effort to travel along such a path...but it all comes down to knowing that everyone in the end will find their niche.
I know faith is a loaded word, but I think so many of us are afraid of what's happening, of what path to follow, and whether we'll make it, that having faith in the divine workings of the Great Spirit is a pre-requisite before one can truly embark upon the road of truth that many of us have chosen to do.
Huh, that graph is interesting montalk. I'm feeling particularly "up" right now...

This is from someone who's been working regularly for over 20 years, now supporting a wife and 2 kids.  I imagined that my wife (of 10 years, very well educated) would also get a job but it's too d*mn comfortable for her to let me work so for some reason she can never find a job ...

Work is a scary thing.  The job is never secure.  If you don't follow the rules you can get fired.  Even if you follow the rules you can get fired.  Getting fired is very scary because then you have the even harder job of finding the next job, which you must begin immediately.  The main emotional undercurrents at work are boredom and fear.

Why boredom?  Because you have to turn your mind off at work, yet keep some part running to do the job.  So a large part of the mind is mainly unoccupied, or occupied with office politics which are never pleasant and often downright degrading.  The jobs themselves are generally OK but the employment environment is typified by the elements I described above.  Don't think that being a boss makes this easier.  Then you have politics from above and politics from below, both, to deal with.  It was beyond my skills at the time to handle this and I found a different path.

God is a better boss!!!  One doesn't need to play politics with God.  That's why we all try to escape the political environment for something real.  To repeat, the jobs I've had are OK things to do, some can be quite interesting, and my current boss is a very hands-off kind of guy 90% of the time.  But there's that pervasive employment environment that repeatedly intrudes on my freedom.

It seems that in my case, God's way of having me make money is to have me face employment for many years.  I guess I've gotten better at some of the games and make less mistakes than I used to.  Maybe that's a part of what I was supposed to learn in this life.  I remember when I was very bad at the political side, when I just started working and had a summer job.  I was working in a mushroom canning factory with one or two other guys, and we decided to go out on strike for higher pay just like the big unions did then.  Well haha the big unions could get away with it (until Reagan vs. the air traffic controllers, anyway) but we couldn't.  We were replaced and ... I had to scramble to find another job!  Now maybe I've learned something about objectivity in all my years of forced employment, but it does seem like I waste a fair amount of my life worrying about it and doing stupid tricks just to survive as an employee.

As I've said, I'm supporting other people so I can't just up and quit, and I expect I have quite a few more years of the same sort of game-playing ahead.  I'm in an unhappy mood about it at the moment, but the unhappy moods about this are quite common.  So that's my perspective.
