Ah work, that tragedy we must all face. I've been off the past year, after being fired for the 1st time, received unemployment until recently, and am now dreading looking for employment... I absolutely detest working, unless there is some form of creativity involved, which basically cancels out all known jobs!!

I actually really don't mind work at all. My problem, along with everyone else's problem around here, is that there isn't any work to be had anymore. Believe me, I can understand the desire for creativity. I'm there too. But there is opportunity for creative thinking in most jobs! Just have to look for it!

True, true. I just hate spending time @ a place I don't want to be, say, even a bookstore where I would blend quite well and also be able to assist a lot of folks w/their book and music searches. The thought of having to spend 40 or so hours out of my week under the supervision and at the demands of 'higher-ups' is, in a few words, goddamn depressing. This though, is coming from one who spent from '03 to '08 working for a city's largest medical organization as a driver/courier who picked up and delivered specimens, records, pharmaceuticals, all that stuff. Talk about anal-retentive management, they would nail me for the least infarction, bring me into the ol' office for a 'why did you do that' session that would last 30 minutes and leave me stressed to the max. I worked myself ragged every day, striving to make it so I could just get through without being bitched at, usually to no avail!
But, what was great was this: being that I was on my own all day, I used the time driving to record vocal/lyrical/conceptual ideas for my music onto a little tape recorder. Plus, having to interact with so many thousands of different people every week, I'd find myself inspired by many circumstances, and wrote a lot of lyrics/poetry while working that job.. So, basically I agree with your point! If you had an ideal job, what would it be?

the job situation is a shambles at the moment, not helped by a lack of promotion to free up lower jobs, seems to be shifting around on the upper levels but none for the new crowd ): not to mention businesses relocating to london D: plenty jobs in all the wrong areas and specialisms, if only id done web design or sales id be swimming in jobs

I won't, because I'm stubborn as all hell.
