What do I want to do ….

Sometimes I feel like I’ve lost my ambition.  I used to strive and struggle to make a difference out at the wildlife center.

I pretty much hate the pet store  I work for, but a lot of the reasons I hate it are gone, and now, there is the potential for me to get a full time job and promotion… maybe even management.  Part of me likes it there.  I really like my discount and love the double discount day held every 6 months.  Over the span of a year, 15% off dog food and cat food really adds up.  I see that as making up a little bit for the low wage.  I get along with the new manager alright and she seems to want to do things right.  I think we could work together well.

But, I make so much more cleaning… like 3 times as much.  I could expand on that, but I’d have to get better insurance and advertise or otherwise draw more clients, which would cut int othe profit.  It would make a great tax shelter, but honestly, I make so little, there’s little to tax, I generally get most of it back.

If I did go into my own business, cleaning is not my passion.  I’d love to make a living doing artsy crafty things.  I know that once you start doing it for a living, it ceases to be fun for most people.  I don’t know that that fits me though… I work in a fish store, clean fish tanks all day, come home, clean my tanks, care for my fish and get online and read about fish and post on fish forums…  I do the same about dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, and even birds (but I don’t have a pet bird and that makes me sad).

So why not do all 3?  I think that’s what I’m going to do.
