THis is gross

There was a time, more of a moment really, lasting from the end of my last shift at the marriott up until halfway through today's shift, when I thought that this job might be acceptable or at least bareable. THe prospect of generous internet access, free food from room service and a multi-culti cast of saucy female co-workers seemed exciting enough to outweigh less enticing aspects like being tethered to a beeping telephone in a cramped windowless office all day, making sympathetic clucks into a headset all day while I flip from one "candid" picture of jessica simpson to the next, for eight hours straight. I was wrong. It totally sucks, and if I have one more "getting to know you" conversation with a co-worker that ends with them saying "Marriot's a GREAT Company!" I am going to break down crying. I dnt know maybe I'm just tired, and cranky and bratty to not want a job when said job offers financial nourishment only in exchange for emotional depletion. Is it WHOLLY unreasonable for me to expect more from a job? I don't have to settle for this- so why am I?

I know how you feel. I often wonder if there are jobs out there that won't just suck the life out of me in exachange for pay.

Can you keep your eye open for other jobs?
