Help! I got a job and I hate it...

#1Help! I got a job and I hate it...
Posted: 6/3/08 at 9:09pm

my mom offered me an extremely easy and no-stress job at her office scanning documents all day. sweet deal, right? i'm two days into it and i feel like smashing my face in. i feel very uncomfortable with the fact that it was my mother who got me the job, so it's pretty much nepotism, and to make matters worse, the constant scanning scanning scanning is so mind-numbing. i can literally feel my brain losing matter each hour by hour.

so i thought i could maybe get some writing done in between scans and e-mail it to myself. no such luck. the internet is strictly forbidden and anyone caught surfing is immediately and harshly reprimanded. so i'm pretty much stuck scanning all day every day for the rest of my life.

Do you have an iPod? Try some books on tape. I thought you never wanted to work. Why the change? You can't screw you Mom on this. Man up!

I think nepotism only matters if it's a desirable job.

It just depresses me because I know for a fact that I'm completely untalented in everything and will probably have jobs like this for the rest of my life.

I'd tell you to get a job in something you enjoy (if there is such a thing), or at least something more desirable, but then you'll find a reason to complain about that.

And what made you decide to work anyway?

Oh, I know, love. Even back in my day, we got out in mid-may. I was just wondering why he thought he was going be at the scanning place with his mom for the rest of his life. Anyone can suck it up for three months.

"It just depresses me because I know for a fact that I'm completely untalented in everything and will probably have jobs like this for the rest of my life."

I'm not sure this is the best approach. Keep this job until you find something you like.

Because I know that everything is temporary. Each day I'm in school is a gift because I know how easily it can be taken away.

Dude, this isn't anything anyone hasn't said before, but if you're for real, you LOVE your misery. You fetishize it. Lots of people have had sh*tty summer jobs. Lots of people have sh*tty grown up jobs. You don't want to be happy. You couldn't possibly.

Let me just tell you, working sucks in general. Well, unless you just happen to get lucky. And at least scanning files, you have something to do, even if it isn't the most facinating job.

I ran the trading post at a summer camp for 2 years. I was usually not too bored the first 2 or 3 days of the week. However, it got boring when the kids started running out of money and stopped coming in. I had no access to a computer either, and had a radio that picked up 2 stations. Luckly, I was allowed to have books and magazines with me. I think my favorite week was when we ended up with only 2 or 3 small groups in camp, and I was lucky to make a sale before lunch.

Working for family really sucks. I work for my family now, but if it was up to me, I'd be at Starbucks making lattes for demanding customers.

No point of putting up with it. Aim for happiness.

There's just no outlet for creativity in there.

What creatively fulfilling summer jobs did you apply for before you took the job at your mom's company?

You claim to be empty 'creatively', so why does it matter?
