work work

for five hours on friday, i was a receptionist. relatively easy but also rather mindnumbing, since it was just answering phone calls and dealing with incoming/outgoing mail. meaning i spent most of the time reading/surfing the net.

lately i've been thinking about office jobs in general, but i know i wouldn't want to be stuck in one on a long term basis. cuz i get restless really easily and i need something that keeps me on the go, something more purposeful than doing the same thing day after day. something that gives me epiphanies on an almost daily basis, where i can continue to learn and grow. and i need something that requires extensive use of my cranium ie needs creativity. i've always wondered how people manage to wake up every morning and go through the same routine, how they go through their duties day after day, for months or years and not be tired of it all. that is, apart from the necessity of having to sustain an income to support a family. i am also wondering how far passion can take you in this society.

at 3am, it's far too unsuitable to be losing any sleeping over, considering how i have 2 more years of university to plough through. but it is something that will be on my mind constantly, since 'tis the season for applying for PI (professional internship).
