Being an adult is tough, especially when you work at a job that you hate going to. Whether you have a student admin job at your school, work at the local coffee shop, have an internship, or work in customer service, you know that you dread clocking in and only look forward to finally clocking out. You wish you had a fun, awesome job but more often than not, you’re stuck at a place that you would avoid like the plague if you had the choice. You absolutely hate looking at your work schedule knowing that you have to be there, even if its just for a couple of hours.
Yet, we managed to pull through and put our hours in because how else are you gonna make money? Those books and drinks aren’t going to pay themselves. As a college student, you will do anything to help support yourself and gain some experience before you hit the real world. But until then, you’re full of self-loathing and thoughts you can only keep to yourself because you can’t risk being fired.
Here are 10 thoughts that everyone has had at a job they love to hate:
10. The thought you have the minute you walk in the door and reality sets in that you have to be there.
9. The thought you have when you finish talking to an incompetent customer that you have to be nice to.
8. The thought you have when your boss walks by.
7. The thought you have when your co-worker doesn’t do their part of the project. And you end up doing basically everything yourself.
6. The thought you have when it gets to be around lunchtime and you still have a huge list of tasks to accomplish before the end of the day.
