All day I am told what to do, when to do it, how to do it, how not to do it, that I should do it faster, that I need to do this first and then get back to doing those 18 other things I was in the middle of, etc., etc. Hurry up. Slow down. Put your right foot in and shake it all about. It's always, "Bring me the Hillier file,"or, "Get me a copy of the complaint," or "Watch the door." Allllll. Daaaaay. Looooong. And lately it's been nonstop, since working back-to-back-to-back doesn't offer any sort of break. I'm seriously considering driving into a highway divider at very high speed. As much as I love being constantly bossed around, I would love even more for people to please just treat me with some respect. I know I work for you, I will never question that part, and I certainly don't need to be reminded every minute of every day that I am inferior. It seems like all I really do is take orders like some discipline-challenged dog. Is this really why I went to college?

Yes, but that's not the ONLY reason we went to college! Look on the bright side: in addition to being treated like morons we got to waste a ton of money, waste four years of our lives NOT having a social life to make sure we got good enough grades (because you have to be a straight A student to sell Legos and change diapers) and, most importantly of all, it was school that was training us to jump through hoops for people whose intellectual superiority to our own is dubious....
To be fair, I learned A LOT about life -- and myself -- in college. I also had a really good time. I would just like to feel appreciated for the hard work I do these days... "Please" and "Thank you" never killed anybody, so why is it so hard for bosses to say those words?
Honestly, I wish I could go to school as my job for the rest of my life. I would even do my past schooling again, even though it's getting me nowhere in real life.... I really did love it, but I would do it smarter. State school.
