just back from my adventure in south america , I went looking for a job.
not verry easy becouse there arent any. so I went to an ofice and they give you jobs for just a few days in companies where people are sick.
so my first job is in a car factory (opel Belgium) I have to put together the parts of the litle closet on the pasengerside, the box where you put the carpapers and roadmaps and stuf)
it is always the same move and it is verry boring. my co workers are people that never finished there school and most of them realy dum ( not verry smart). they dont understand my verry wel becuse my antwerp dialect is not verry well.
maby next time I can work with the machine becouse most of them dont understand it and it is a diferent handeling. I have blue spots on my hands an other day the same I realy cant handle.
many of the workers look adhd too witch is sad becouse most of them ar too smart for this job. the smarter ( adhd) ones all hve the more dificult jobs, and they are to good for it but they dont have an other option becouse they didnt finish there school.
i hope to find a good job soon becouse I didnt studdy 4 years to do this. but I earn good money becouse I have to do the early and the late shift. I think beeing buyssy is more important, I dont like to be home all the time.

OH Anneke, I feel for you. I hope the job looking goes bettter in a little bit. Over here we call the offices Temp Services. My husband had a job through one one time. He swept the floor in a factory. Thank goodness it didn't last long, he didn't like it.
Is there any way that you can ask to be put in something else? I do not know how your office works over there. Good luck in the job hunt.
HUGS Kaiti

Anneke i was just thinking where are you I havent seen you in here for a while. Even though you dont like the job, think it the best way, it´s only temporary and they are paing you quite well. I´am shure it wont take long before you´ll find a job better suitable to your education, Good luck for hunting the new job! Marja

Anneke, well for right now it is a job. Also, you never know when oppotunity will strike. It could be that this job may get you noticed and turn into a better job in you lne of work, somewhere else in the plant.
All you can do is do the absolute best job you can, no matter what you are doing. The extra effort will get noticed eventually.
What did you study in school?
What do you want to do?
Good luck and I hope you find a job that you like real soon.
