The End Of The World As I Know It: UCCS Edition
I am now Unemployed. Today was my last day working for UCCS at Sac State. I have been working there for years now and it is sad to see it end. I started there as a Lab Assistant in late 2001 and have been a Supervisor for the last few semesters there. In many ways the office there felt more like a home than my apartment does. Above are pics of the Supervisor and Senior Supervisor Desks where I spend a lot of time over the last few years. I took those pics before the LA party this semester when I was just messing around. School starts in two days and it still hasn't sunk in that I will not be going there or back to work in the labs ever again. I feel lost. I don't belong anywhere. I guess it is neat that I will have some free time, which I haven't had much of in years, but I am starting to loose confidence in my ability to be a productive member of something.
Today at work we did the Lab Assistant Training, using a powerpoint presentation that I made. It was sad though because after making someone leave because they didn't do their paper work because of front desk issues, and after another person had issues with the front desk and paper work and couldn't be there, and after another person was out of town and couldn't be there, and after another person we hired was poached for us by the help desk, their were only three people being trained. Their were actually more than two management people for every one trainee. It was kind of a waist... and an odd way to go out and end my employment there. Especially since I was in charge of the hiring and training of these people. Now my key chain is a lot lighter and I have lost my ability to get into all sorts of buildings, labs, and offices on campus. It is all over and now I don't know what to do.
It's not all lost though. It seems I have an interesting opportunity to make a webpage for a sushi place in LA. What better time to do something like this than now when I actually should have some free time. It seems like a good way to be productive and put some effort into something. I have in my mind that I can do a good job and make something cool out of this project that people will like, but in the back of my mind I keep going through all that could go wrong with me doing this. So many "What if"s... I have never been to this place, don't know what it is like or the taste of the people it is for, and I am starting to question my artistic, and programming abilities. Like always, I don't want to let anyone down or do anything that is below expectations, but I have been questioning myself so much lately. It is difficult looking at job after job thinking "I don't think I would be able to do that." or "I am way under qualified for this." I think it is starting to get to me and make me feel more hopeless than usual. Maybe if I can succeed in the webpage thing it may turn my attitude around a bit.
