I know I rant about work incessantly, but give me a minute, I’m going somewhere with this…
Whenever I mention the monotony of my job to anyone of an older generation I am met with the same response: all jobs are like that; repetitive and eventually boring, and there will inevitably be people you don’t like working with.
While I guess I can agree that I won’t always like all of my coworkers, it sort of depresses me to think that no matter what, I’m doomed to a life of ultimately hating my job.
Is it this generation that has the attention span of a goldfish, and therefore can’t put up with being bored all the time?
Is it our lack of work ethic? I know I didn’t have to till the fields in the hills of Italy like my grandmother, but I’ve never been one to shy away from a challenge.
Am I being completely idealistic in thinking that there is actually a position out there that will keep me entertained for more than a year?
What are your jobs like, readers? Can you relate to the boredom, or have you found what fulfills you in life? How do you keep things fun and fresh in your professions?
