No time for self-pity .....

I have to admit that sometimes i feel sorry for myself when i am at work. I feel that i got the lowest ranking position in my job and i could not help but compare what i am doing now with what i used to do while working in a government agency in the Philippines. Heck, i never did this job before because we got someone who does this job for me. But i also realize that "hey, you are not in the Philippines anymore! You are now here in the US, earning dollars, no matter what lowly job you got!" Which is true! I got a masters degree from a prestigious university in Australia but did that help me? Nope! They did not even ask me about that when i applied for the job because they just need a high school graduate, anyway. My job is a no-brainer job, believe me! Anybody even without an education can do it as long as he/she can read and write and count as well. But I admit, i cannot afford to lose this job right now, even if i know fully well, that this is just a temporary job and i can lose it anytime. Who has job security these days, anyway? Even a President can be ousted if he screws up in his job! Who am i to complain?
