if i just finished i wouldn't have too....

I have this rule. OK i have lots of rules but one f them involves never working at a job i don't like just because i need the money. I mean i can always get another job. I think you shouldn't have to put up with work place bullying or mean people.

This morning i got the "the rest of us have to go do jobs we don't like...so can you". But why? It is not that i dislike my job really. Just some of the people. The sad thing is that they probably, no make that definitely, have no idea how much i dislike them. I am trying to find the silver lining by saying to myself that it is teaching me things:

• how to keep my opinions to myself
• doing a job you don't want to and smiling at the same time
• not to be so selfish - everyone has crap jobs
• how to count down the hours until you leave, but not look like you are

See. Valuable life lessons. I haven't had to learn these until now.

This only comes up on the blog for one reason. I am being punished. I have like a "tough love" guardian angel. Some people get lovely ones. Not me. my mother put it the best when i complained:

"if you just finished the PhD then you wouldn't have to do this job. you could do something that you liked and payed a lot more"

She also went on and on about how hard her job is and i shouldn't whinge so much....

Like i said. I am being punished. Obviously i don't get subtle life lessons. Only the hard ones. On that note i promise to write a little bit more than usual today. Also, i will you think about my research ALL DAY....they can make me work but they can't make me think like them!
