I feel the EXACT same way. Like, to the T. I’m so glad I’m not the only one. I hate wearing a mask too, and the drama in the workplace and tedious small talk kills me. Let’s work hard to make our fun dream a real job. Srsly.

I hope for your sake you aren’t in a call center. Nothing more soul-sucking and creativity depleting than customer care.

PS–You have a new follower now :)

I haven’t had that chance yet, as I get either a steady, low-paying one or vice-versa.

I just started a new job this week as a truck driver (2nd driving job), and it was probably the worst idea I’ve ever had, but there was no choice (monetary-wise). Today was my third day of training and third 13 hour work day. I started doing this line of work as a way of “settling for it.” I thought it would be simple enough that I could focus on what I like with my free time. no wai! Now I do not even have time to look into getting out of this debacle.

In short, with absolutely no criticism and 100% praise, you have an amazing set-up right now. And I am completely envious!

p.s.: truck driving is the lamest kind of work a nerd could do! fact!

I never said I wasn’t grateful for my job. This post wasn’t intended to be about the shitty economy and about how many people need a job right now. The entire point: I have a job I have no interest in, and I refuse to settle for something I don’t love doing. Just because jobs are hard to come across, I’m not going to settle and lose that drive to do what I love.
