Dead End Job

currently, i work at the president's office at SBU. and it's atrocious. i sit there the majority of my time. pick up grunt work. and make copies. staple. file. and occasionally i walk around the building hoping for unicorns to carry me away to Hogwarts.

at first, i thought "hey! it's the presidents office! i should be gaining some experience here." but the only experience i learned is how to answer phones properly. not something really applicable to real life, no? or at least something that's not already programmed in us.

to remedy this problem, i'm considering quitting and finding a different job. it's quite isolated where i work and the only contact i get from the outside world is with incoming phone calls or my boss barking across the room. i feel like that's a one-way ticket to a mental asylum.

so i've applied to 6 different jobs for the summer/fall. i'd even settle for working at Staples than the office. at least there would be people i could talk to. other than these cranky women who do the nine-to-five stints.

in the words of The Police: "I don't want no dead end job. I don't wanna be no number"
