The "I'm Having a Horrible Day at Work" thread

Maybe I'm just a slacker. 

or your parents loved you enough and instilled you with an adequate sense of self-worth.

I suppose it matters if you are invested in your work. I've had weeks where I average 14 hours a day of work, but I feel like I'm learning, and accomplishing something. I've also had weeks where I barely work 40 hours a week, and feel like I'm still wasting my time.

Although, Susannah, I do feel like your "bosses" are taking advantage of the fact that you're quiting, and know your work ethic, and are making you pay for not being able to tell them to go screw themselves. At least it can only last through the week though, right?

I think the only thing you should worry about is, would these people give you a good reference, or intentionally give you a bad reference, out of spite?

yeah, don't get me wrong, I choose to work as much as I do.  I could work 50% as much and get 75% the results, but my ego won't let me.

plus, when you're working, there's no time for worrying.

Poor Toy Boy.  He looks like Six Pack and Stallion have been smacking him around a bit.  Hopefully it was consensual.

Cheer up, Susannah! 
Soon you'll be in LA doing that other job (one that, from how you've described it, will be sure to yield plenty of "Argh" stories that you probably won't be able to share with us.)
You will, however, be able to go to the UCB-LA as often as you want, and that's awesome.

I work as a barback at a bar a friend of the family owns. Last night the owner fed me, twice. And we watched movies and talked about books. It's a great job.

Also, I get paid. That always makes my day good.

You guys are so lucky to be able to listen to Best Show/music at work.  My disposition would be so much better and day would go much quicker if I could do that! Ohhh cubes...
Susannah-do you mind me asking what type of job you have/will have? I recall you saying you were an English major (me too-also currently in first job out of college).  Just wondering what other career paths the major lends itself to.
