Just sucks it could be such a fun job I'd want to keep for much longer if only my coworkers weren't sick with people pleasing to the point they think speed justifies anger and frustration. I hope people appreciate my good attitude there. The personal cost to be pleasant and kind while working a mile a minute is not always given without resentment. Is that all grown up life is? Picking the least soul sucking work when all of it will definitely be at least a bit soul sucking?
