Office Space
I took Monday off from work because of sheer exhaustion. I had worked every weekend for practically the entirety of September and had been working late nights at work. While I was home, I watched Office Space–a most hilarious movie epitomizing the common horrors of a banal and inefficient workplace.
The anti-hero lead character asked of his friends, "if you had a million dollars, what would you do?" Basically, asking, if money wasn’t an issue, what kind of job would you have? In the end, the anti-hero ends up working in construction. Sometimes I ask myself, would i have more fun doing something COMPLETELY different?
Right now I’m in the middle of doing really banal special events work–the bane of my work right now. I love everything else about my job but dealing with fundraisers. I think if I finally took a course in it and became an expert I would enjoy it more–I’m easy. I like to do work that I’m good at. Heck, I once LOVED math because it was formulaic, predictable and I had the education and training. I just need to be good at something and not a Jill of all trades.
What would YOU do for work if you had a million dollars and money wasn’t an issue? (and don’t answer "two girls at the same time," like the neighbor in the movie!)
