Working in an office

when I started it I hated it. every single day I told myself it was my last week. I sat on a computer and made copies and was the fukin gopher for 3 months. But it looked good on my resume and I moved to a different firm. There I learned a lot of things but still had to do the BS work but it was certainly better than my first job. Now I'm working on my third job and its gotten even better. my pay is pretty damn good. I never saw myself working in an office. ever. Now I don't even mind it. the people here are chill and they serve amazing lunch here.

NS am I losing my mind? should i get out before its too late. is there something wrong with me? WTF i wanted to hate it so i could get out, but now i don't have any reason to quit besides the fact that its winter and I want to ski, but even then I can ski sat-sun all winter long and now I can afford it. I can buy new shit for the season too. I can now save for a new car.

idk wtf

Update from my previous post, I dont really mind it all. Everyone i work with is cool and willing to help me when i ask questions. Also doesnt hurt that my dads cousin is the VP of the department and im transferring to the school that my manager went to, so i feel like I fit in pretty well. The work can be pretty boring, but I have zero experience in an office setting so i cant really complain.

damn, must be nice. we're on a strict schedule. 5 business days after the last day of the period. No exceptions. Our fiscal calendar does not follow a standard calendar though, so sometimes close doesn't fall exactly at the end of a calendar month. it's annoying.

acccounting is probably one of the better jobs in the ski resort business. so is IT and HR.

Id hate working in an office. I move around too much and have to exert physical energy all the time. I could work at Dunder Mifflin though

working in an office def sucks - but if anything do it for the money and the office politics. bills need to get paid, might as well be entertained by 35 year old women bitching about each other to you.
