about once every two weeks, i have a slight breakdown about how much i hate this job. that day is today! yippee!

(note: i pretty much have to repeat "insurance insurance insurance insurance" over and over again to prevent myself from quitting, so if you would like to imagine that while you read, feel free)

i am sedentary and mind-numbingly bored for nine hours a day here. both my mind and body are just wasting away as i sit at this desk. and my social skills. in theory i could do other things, but it's hard because you know, i'm not SUPPOSED to be working on other things. the job that i am being PAID to do, is to sit here doing nothing, and then occasionally do something idiotic and easy for like 20 minutes. i have zero interest in working in this industry (advertising/marketing), and i am not learning a thing. this job drives me to bored-eating, which i don't need any help doing thank you very much. basically none of my friends work 9-5. the most fulfiling social interactions i have during the day occur when someone accidentally comes into my office looking for the drug-testing place around the corner. the room is 10x10 and all white, nothing on the walls. i have to use a key to use the public restroom, which belongs in a shitty middle school. the office is so cold that i use a space heater, on high, year round. i'm pretty sure my boss wrote me shitty recommendations for grad school, not because he said anything negative about me but just because he doesn't care or know what he's doing with them. oh yea, and he used to sleep with the girl who had the job before me, i know this because i stumbled on some incriminating emails during the period of time that she kept calling up here crying every twenty minutes for a few days. he makes a shit-ton of money but pays me very little (granted, i do very little work, but that's not my decision). his son is a spoiled fratboy brat who is apparently getting a new car at the moment. really the best thing i can say about this job is that it's convenient. and insurance.

i just want a job where i get to interact with a variety of people during the day, and with a somewhat consistent schedule. i don't feel like that's too much to ask, i mean honestly being a waitress, bartender or barista would fit those demands. but insurance, fuck.

i'm seriously contemplating quitting once all my applications are in. fuuuuuuuck.
