5:33 AM JOB Embarkment

So it's 5:33am and I am preparing for a JOB embarkment. Actually I have been up since 2:30am because I was suppose to be in my 6:00am and my waking up early is a tough task. Well at 4:00am, my boss texts me to come in at 8am instead. Sure, why not, ive been up waiting to just not be late to 6am, what's another 2 hours?

2 HOURS

2 Hours is everything. 2 Hours means I won't get home for another 2 hours later today. My shift is 9 hours plus 2 hours of driving a day if I don't hit traffic for an hour. This is what a JOB expects and if I disagree, they would probably just find a way to replace me or force me to quit, because that is reality of a JOB if you don't cooperate with them.

I have been searching for a JOB with more pay to live comfortably. I think this is the wrong avenue. I took this job from my last in hopes of advancement. This job started at a lower hourly rate. Dumb of me, yes! I have a family which is the main course of still getting out of bed to go to this job. Luckily my wife works, because I got to say, I have been so close to pulling the "I QUIT" lever. I figure if I quit and live simply, I could dedicate much more time to the WA venture and my site which will bring moneymaking in what I am enjoying and believe in so much easier.

Im still not convinced my wife is fully behind me on this venture. Although I understand, because I have been talking about businesses since we got married. So Im sure she is just wanted to be shown now. I haven't quite figured out how to explain this business and what I am doing, so she looks at me like I am crazy. So does everyone else I tall about it. Good thing is I got 8 likes on my facebook page as I was gauging my facebook friends and family on their support of the idea. Some skeptics there.

Im usually a good judge of things and beleive in WA fully and intend to see this through to the ultimate success! It already has gotten me to think differently most of the time. Im finding when I come across negativity and poor moods it gets difficult so I am thinking of a solution there.

With WA, I think it calls for some changes in my life to make sure I am in the proper moods at all time. May call for some current lifestyle changes. I beleive I am willing at this time to take those sacrifices and changes and place them in a positive energy.

So as I sit here, I think, Will it be easier to quit and go full time now, or go part time at the JOB? I think the part time route is more logical if I get a part time gig close to home, not driving an hour away? These things are what I currently battle with.

HMMM!
