I don’t want a “fast-paced” job

It seems like every job posting these days goes on and on about how “fast-paced and exciting” their company is. I don’t want fast-paced. I want slow-paced. I want deadlines that have enough slack for me to take time and care and have a finished product I’m proud of. I want to have 15 minute conversations with my favorite coworker at the coffee machine. I want to go take a walk on a sunny day after lunch. Slow down. Breathe. And stop bragging about your stressful office culture. /rant
