It’s almost the weekend and for me it means that almost another week has gone by without me posting anything. I am pretty upset at myself for that. To my readers I am so sorry. I feel like I’ve been slacking but that’s been anything but the case.
Also, for the last couple of weeks, I have been kind of down with a pretty bad sinus infection. I was going to work, trying to push through it but by the time I got home, I didn’t want to see a computer. It was hard for me to put my words together to get a decent post out. I’m still under the weather but I am better than I was.
With all of that said, I wanted to at least come on here and talk to you guys. I wanted to catch you up on what’s been going on with me. If any of you reading this have kept up with me, from the beginning especially, then you know that I have gone through a lot. More recently I’ve been struggling more with finding a career I can happy with and passionate about. It’s never really been about the money for me, even though I do have to make a living somehow, right?
Life & My “Other” Job(s) 🙂
So, I guess it all kind of started a couple of months ago. I was still searching for a job or two to keep things going for myself. I was also waiting on a friend to give me the word on another opportunity. But before any of that, I got a call for a part-time position where I would be doing some Promotion/ Marketing work. But what would make this job different for me would be the fact that I would be a Team Leader, so more of a supervisory role. I was excited and nervous for the opportunity.
It’s definitely not your typical job but I get to work with young girls and help them get into the real world a bit. So far it’s been a very interesting job but the pay is good, considering I don’t have a typical schedule. This was definitely one of those experiences that I pushed myself into because any other time, I would’ve turned it down out of fear. When it came to job opportunities, I would always be scared that I wouldn’t be good enough. I have been trying to encourage myself more and stop thinking so negatively.
Then I got the call from a friend and former (current) fellow employee. I was able to go and meet with an old boss of mine to go back to the position that kind of started it all for me. This is the job where I actually enjoyed what I did and who I worked with. I actually met 3 of my best friends here. And it is an industry that puts me around music 🙂
I did leave but because I took on another position not realizing how bad of a track record that position had. I found out the hard way and it gave me so much anxiety that I had to leave. Now, I see that I should’ve handled it all so differently but at the time that’s what I thought was best. It was a learning experience and helped me see that I needed that time to figure things out.
But as of today, I am back there in the position I initially got hired for. It’s been great so far and I don’t have to deal with as much. People are happy that I am back and it feels good to be appreciated. My schedule is pretty crazy there too so sometimes I don’t know when my next shift is going to be. But I am very appreciative of this second chance.
What’s Coming Up for Muzik Junqie?
As for this blog, I have so many ideas and things I am working on. A lot of awesome albums have come out and there are more to come so I’m excited about that. Other than my regularly scheduled Music Crush Monday and Music Review posts, I want to talk about more topics that may not be music related. I am thinking about more Life and Career posts; maybe some advice based on my life experiences so far.
I also plan on featuring more females in the industry. I already have a list of amazing women ready. Besides those music post ideas, I want to do more YouTube videos related to my blog content. With the Blackbear concert coming up this weekend, I will already be working on a FanGirl Chronicles post and video for you guys. I see more concerts in my future so if you like those videos and posts then I will continue to do them.
This blog means so much to me and I want to make sure that I do it justice. I want to continue to put out fun, unique, and quality content for you guys. When I tell you that I have a notebook full of ideas, I am not exaggerating. Hopefully once I am better (health-wise) and figure out this working thing, I will be back to my regular post schedule with some fun extras. Be patient with me and I promise it’ll be worth it 🙂
Final Thoughts…
I do want to say how I much I appreciate you guys so much for reading and commenting on my posts. So many of you have left super sweet comments and it means a lot to me. I do this for you and for me. I have plans to take this blog places and I hope you stay along for the ride.
I’ll be back with some posts very soon!
