Got a bit of a dilemma at the moment which shouldn't even be a dilemma for me but it kind of is (i don't understand that either).

I've been doing a different job in a different department at work for the past few weeks to cover for someone who has left & it's getting to the point where they're gonna be advertising his job. Now, if i went for this job & got it it would mean a big fat pay rise which would improve my standard of living quite a bit (in other words i could buy tons more comics & records & pressies for my girl).

The problem is, the job i came from to do this was on the shop floor (it's an engineering production firm) which was a big shit load of fun, kinda like being in the playground at school, as opposed to the job i'm doing now, which is in the offices & hence kinda like being in lessons at school. Everyone in the office takes things just a little bit more seriously & i dunno whether i can be arsed with it. They'll all be stood round one desk going...

"We MUST get these parts in or we'll STOP PRODUCTION!"

&

"Yes, we CANNOT afford to do that! What's the lead time on these components".....

"3 to 4 days at best, but i'm chasing the supplier for improvement on this"

& everyone's all stern looking & either spouting some bullshit business rhetoric or just nodding like a fucking dog on the parcel shelf of a car, brows all furrowed & shit. All the while i'm sitting there thinking "fuck off man, lighten up it's not like we're saving fucking lives here is it?". It's the same story in the meetings i have to go to, you could literally tape one meeting & then just play it back at the next one & no-one would have to say anything!

So anyhow, my dilemma is: can i put up with this shit for a few years 'til i finish my degree & get a proper job, or should i say fuck the money let's be happy & hassle free?

I should automatically go for happiness, i know, but i just wish money didn't have this fucking pull on me.

Work can suck my dick!
