something creative and ideally multidisciplinary (like rodtronics), but also it's something people want you to make (unlike rodtronics) and something people are happy to pay me for (the absolutely antithesis of rodtronics) one thing that always sucks about work is that for most jobs people don't want to give you money. your boss would rather you worked for free and in my line of work currently also people that come in don't want to spend money on drugs. but imagine some artists who do commissions from happy customers.. they have people that want to give them money... I want to know what thats like  imagine you're a great photographer and sexy men come to you and say "can I please give you mone so you can take photo of me??" and maybe even a woman askalso imagine working on the creative team of some big music festival or band, putting together the stage show. making decisions. giving people an amazing experience. this would be the best being a youtuber like mark rober be jimi hendrix? so many people have great jobs and I am sure all of them are harder than they look, but its possible to work a job where you can be creative, solve problems, have people give you money without resent

“it’s not extreme enough” I yell as I kick the interns chair over after he shows me a mock-up of their latest idea. “I said I wanted dennis rodman as a spokesman not dennis quaid”

Achmed Jones posted:no dont it's a trap turns out giving most of my life to something I don’t give a poo poo about has left me feeling very poo poo about existence there’s a lot of things I love in life, but barely being able to touch them because I spend the rest of my time doing (or recovering from) something I increasingly hate is really bogus some people might be able to do the grind and get pissed on the weekend. I think my brain just works too hard to deal with that, I don’t need after work solutions to my problems I need during work solutions aka a job I give a poo poo about

qirex posted:echi you don’t want to be a graphic designer your skin is too thin trust me on this 70% of the job is getting treated like poo poo by your clients and you need to be able to hang with that probably true. plus I recognise that my talents are extremely superficial Achmed Jones posted:oh nothing specific, it's just that every time i do something i love for money it rather quickly becomes just a job. happened with hacker poo poo, happened with teaching. didn't happen quite as much or as quickly with the research side of my discipline but it was still palpably occurring. hey this sounds better than starting with something you don’t like and then it getting worse. at least for a small amount of time you got paid to do something you like and are good at . that’s got to count for something in this life The Management posted:I have a boring job that pays too much for me to quit and do what interests me. doing the next best thing and just accepting that it’s all garbage and I don’t really care about any of it, and working on things that interest me when it gets too annoying. I’m trying this but my brain is relentless in making me miserable at work. I won’t go into details but it’s disturbing maybe I should be a truck driver

I think the problem is that it’s not intellectually stimulating at all. no problem solving, except pain the rear end problems (and these are more problems related to being a manager not a pharmacist). the primary job itself isn’t about creativity on any level, just executing best practices it’s poo poo lol

work so quiet yesterday so quiet today this pharmacy is a sinking ship. the big overseas discounters have ruined us we’re going to merge with our other pharmacy when the new building is ready to go. I suppose it’s just a matter of bridging the gap I’ve always got work to do, but the technicians run of work and there is stuff they could do that would help me but they don’t want to, so it still ends up as my problem even though they have the time to do it. I hate being a manager. I’m a terrible manager because I never want anyone to feel bad or dislike me so if I ask them to do something and they do don’t it, I don’t ask again and make them do it I just accept it’s now my job. I also get sick of taking on their mistakes. Sure I’m the manager and overall responsible, but if the mistake was clearly all theirs i’ll say “we didn’t do this correctly”, when it’s clearly not “we” but “you”. I should have gotten a pay rise to be manager. I haven’t had a pay rise in forever and it’s not on the horizon. This is such a waste of the only life I have 😞

that still sounds more appealing than the same but just a boring job maybe it’s about people. sometimes when i’m working with fun people I actually look forward to work. but not work, being at work with those people

I also reckon drinking on the job probably makes the day better and is a sign you work for cool people. in my contract it says I can’t drink or be on drugs in the dispensary without the permission of the boss. drat if I owned my own pharmacy there would be a bar at the back

once her window got smashed while parked on the street so she just decided she’d park in the car park behind the pharmacy. there isn’t a car park for her, most are set aside for other businesses . so she parks in the disabled car park and then when the lady says please don’t do that she tells people the story as if other people are going to sympathise with the person parking in the disabled park when perfectly abled
