Moving jobs
I am currently on my 10 minute break at work. Its a 5 hour shift. And the break is paid.
I always end up thinking. Why? 10 minutes of sitting in the break room upstairs on my phone isnt really something that will change how I feel. I am still nonetheless tired.
Why did I get a job at a busy supermarket? I have a lot of social anxiety and work is where it peaks.
Well I do know why. My friends work here. The atmosphere among staff is relaxed and I get a staff discount.
It is stressful. Lets consider changing jobs. Where would I go?
There is a foodland down main street. From what I have seen it is a lot quieter.
Otherwise on main street there is 2 dozen or so small businesses run by one or 2 people.
There are plenty of pubs but I don't think hospitality will be much more "relaxed" than a supermarket.
Foodland feels like the only real option. Although it is on the opposite side of town. Being out of the way it would be more of an inconvienience.
People always say you should make your job what you love doing.
So then. How do I monetise my hobbies?
The first big obvious thing is to monetise my blog... haha no I would never to that to all 2 people consistently reading this.
I could try my hand at youtube? Properlly this time. I'm not particuarly great at reading a script to a camera but there are plenty of other things I could do on youtube.
I could sell artwork on ebay or at local markets. My mother did this when she was a young adult.
I could do commissioned photography for local businesses or events.
.
Really what I can conclude from all that is that I either deal with it or try my hand at media production.
Now comes the question of what the fuck do I actually do?
"Monetise your hobbies" not as a permentant philosophy but as a I need to make money thing really screams to me; find something your already doing and hit record.
So I think I will buy a handlebar mount for my phone and record me talking on my next bike ride.
Every good idea you don't think through needs its 5 minutes of research of examples of what you plan on doing. I'll go watch a few vlogs.
