Directions

Another day, another picture, a whole lot of decisions to be made and stress to the max. I've been looking for a career for the past few years now, and I just can't come to an agreement with myself about any of my decisions. One week I wan't to be a photographer, the next I want to be a cop. The following week I want to join the Canadian Armed Forces! I really need some direction in my life for the sake of my sanity, and i'm not sure where I should be looking!
There has been a job posting at work this week for a position in management, and it seems like a perfect opportunity to at least advance myself in my current situation, but i'm really not sure if this is something I can attain, or if I want the responsibility. Granted, if I decided to apply, and I got the position, I know I could do some good for the company. I have the mindset, and the ideas to back it up. I know what I want, and where I would like to head with it. The question is; Do I want to take it on? Do I have a chance to get in there?
I hate to doubt myself, but it seems like this call center is against me, and not in the sense of personal desputes, but in an inanimate sense. I feel like the center itself is conspiring against me -as weird as it sounds. Things just seem to happen; Maybe a bad line where I end up sounding like I don't know what im talking about, the caller is the type to complain to management and on the recording the call sounds perfectly clear! Or otherwise, ill genuinly get sick during a shift where the other HSR is sick, and for some reason, the nurses complain about my attendance, where if you look at my sick calls I have (at most) 6 sick days in the past 2 years! Thats better then most in the call center.
Then there is my big complaint about the place; It seems like I can't do anything in my free time without getting complaints, while other HSR's can chat on MSN (a BIG no-no here), show up late to work, take extra long breaks and call in sick 3 to 4 times a month. I read a book late at night when I absolutly have nothing else to do but wait for incoming calls, and I get resentment from the nurses who are constantly talking to patients.
I wish I could totally change this place around in this sense, and bring to the table all the things wrong about the rumors thats been flying around. There needs to be a close tie between management and its staff, and it seems like I have no one in the center to go to about these problems.
They were right in opening this new postion.
I should apply.

While you are deciding which direction you would like to go in your future, apply for, and GET the new position. Sounds like you know what needs to be done, I hope you get a chance to do it. Love,Love,Love this pic! Its awesome.
I agree.
Quit doubting yourself babe. Maybe a new position is what you need to sort some thing out in your life. A change of atmosphere, new responsibilities. You think you may not be able to handle it, and maybe for the first few weeks it'll be rough, but once you get the hang of it, and create that tie between the staff and management, things in the center will go so much smoother, and you wont despise it so much.
