shadowedge613mainly because of the not having to go to work thing: an idea that I am fully in favor of. Because most likely I will be working late every day this coming week, because my boss and owner of the shop is going on vacation, leaving me and the one other employee (D. the Delivery guy,) to work the whole damn store. And when D. is out on deliveries... it is just me. so nine AM till 7PM every night for this coming week. I want a raise already.
no, seroiusly.
On the plus side I did many crafty things today. and went goodwilling. and ate good food. And hung out with james. but god working sucks. Is there anyone in our circle of freinds that actually has a job that they like, or at least don't loathe? or is this the way of the world? am I doomed to forever work a job I hate for too little money and long hours and waste my whole life like that?
Damn it. I'll become a stripper first. Then I will work less for more money. Reverend Smith, are you with me? we could have some sort of duo...

Date: 2006-10-16 12:56 pm (UTC)When the receptionist quit suddenly, I was trained for her job; when a legal secretary quit a few months after that, I was trained for her job. And the rest, as they say, is history, since I've been doing this now for 17 years.
And the thing is, I like it. I love the law, and I love playing with words. I'm very, very good at my job. There have been times that I hated the place I was working, but I've still always loved the work. Now of course I'm at the Awesome Law Firm of Awesomeness, and that rocks, but for me it's always been the work itself that makes me happy.
So to answer your question, it's not necessarily the way of the world that one must hate their job, but the job you like may not be the one you think you'll like. I thought I'd be a high school art teacher, and I don't doubt that I would have been good at that job too, but this is where I ended up, and I'm pretty happy with it.
