Jerk My Turkey Stick

WELCOME! This is my first posting on here, and I am sure that anyone reading this is wondering, "What the hell does 'jerk my turkey stick' mean??" Well for starters, most of my posts' titles will have something to do with either something my husband or I said, or a conversation we had.

Now I bet you want the background on this title. Well, it came about when there was an incident in Salem where a Woodburn police officer was standing in his home's doorway, with his pants down, playing with himself. IN BROAD DAYLIGHT ON A FAMILY FILLED STREET. So obviously a neighbor called the cops, the dude was arrested for indecent exposure. When questioned by police as to what possessed him to be playing with himself in view of the public he said he was depressed.

I commented to Collin, "Okay, generally people's libido is all that high on the priority list when depressed."

Collin went on to say, "Yeah, no kidding, who jerks their turkey stick when they are depressed?"

At this point I was laughing so freakin hard I thought I was gonna pee my pants.

This is just a small example of the various... um... oddities that make up our conversations... Trust me, I have a whole slew of them saved up.

So anyways, on to real life. As mentioned over yonder in the about me section, I work at a collection agency. My title seems to constantly be changing but currently I think I am an Administrative Assistant/Bookkeeper. Lately I have been faced with a dilemma, I love the people I work with, and most of the time I love my job. But I have also been starting to think about the financial goals I have and want to achieve, and I don't know how to reach them at this job. If I got another job who's to say I would be happy, and I feel I would be rather hypocritical if I left for more money. I was always so upset when people left our office just to make more money, but at the same time I understand, especially if you want to be able to get a new(er) car because you never know how long one of your two cars is gonna last, or you want to get all your credit card debt paid. So what do I do? I don't want to hurt my work family, and I don't want to be outcasted or treated differently if I were to look elsewhere or apply elsewhere. I know that it happens though because I have seen it. Plus then there's the issue of replacing me, I have seen the applicants we tend to get, and I personally wouldn't hire any of them to replace me.

I can't help but be curious, but how would I tell my office manager/friend that I might be leaving? Collin emailed me a couple of job postings from the company he works for, and both of them would be right up my alley, and one starts out over $12.00 and hour, while the other one starts out over $15.00 an hour. And I know I have the experience needed for the jobs. PLUS Collin and I could commute together, I'd be making enough where we could afford health and dental insurance, and we could get a new car (cause we could afford a car payment) after paying off all of our credit cards. It would be so nice, but the people I work with now have become like a second family.... I don't want to lose the friendships I have built there, but I want Collin and I to be successful in our life so we can achieve our goals, and do all the awesome things we want to.... I need to think on this and redo my resume.

Peace Out To All My Homies!!
