Since leaving corporate land I don't make as much money. While I miss the money I don't miss all the other crap that went with the money. Specifically I don't miss working for all the time and on weekends and holidays and birthdays.
Have I ever mentioned the 26 hour day I worked once when I had a stomach virus? No? What about the 32 hour day where my new boss "Jane" didn't want me to take a food or potty break? Mother of Pearl I don't miss her or her croonies.
"Jane" would rush into my office two hours before 4pm and demand I finish a project because she needed it ASAP? She would then sneak her snarky arse out the back door - she didn't need it - that is just who she is.
I'm digressing here, I know...stop pushing. The point is, I don't miss all the drama, sleeping around, backstabbing and egos. I do - sometimes - miss some of the money, but not all that other shite.
I am MUCH happier now and I'm finishing my degree. (Which means I won't have so lean of a budget forever.)
Since the word "budget" is hard for my brain to translate, I hadn't created one. Until now.
I've finally reached the stage where I have to make some changes. (Look, I've known for a while, I just kept tuning it out.)
In creating a budget for myself I have ask if something is a necessity or a want. Anyone that has grown up an only child knows that this is not an easy question to answer. Often my wants are certainly necessities - like a nice wine and cable. Basic cable but not too basic.
Since I'm having a hard time eliminating the few "necessities" that strain my budget, I've been thinking of ways to make money. What can I do at home or for a few hours monthly to make some extra dough...and then I thought of it.
I've always been told what a nice voice I have - for as long as I can remember I've heard that. I've dated guys who've told me they liked to call me when I'm asleep because of my voice. I've had wrong numbers call multiple times trying to get a date based on my voice. (Which is creepy and weird so umm, no, I'm not planning on dating that way.)
So I'm thinking that maybe the thing for me is voice over work or some job that allows me to use my "talent". I'm going to do some research and see what opportunities are out there for a girl with a nice voice.
