(Yes, this is a vent journal. Turn back now if you must.)

As a note to myself, and a warning to others, let me just say this... no matter how fun you think something is, it stops being fun when it becomes your day-to-day job. Of course, in my case it didn't even seem too fun to begin with, but at least it was somewhat programming related...

I only know a very few people who say that they still love their job. I'm rather intensely jealous of them at the moment. I've only had this new job for a month and a half, and it's slowly driving me crazy. The people are very nice, and the pay is really quite good, so I shouldn't be complaining. But the work is just mind-numbingly boring. I don't feel like that's enough reason to complain, because nobody likes their job... except for those people that do.

This probably sounds like an empty, vain complaint, but it is seriously driving me crazy. I get sick of telling all my coworkers that I'm doing great, and cringe every time my boss introduces me as "someone with a passion for blahblahblah"... I feel like I'm living a lie, or something. On the other hand, because of college and car debts, I can't exactly afford to give up this job at the moment... so I must soldier on.

That's all, I suppose. I don't think people actually read my journals anyway. Why would they? I only have like 5 watchers.
