THE MISERABLE JOB
A miserable job is not the same as a bad one.
As with beauty, the definition of a bad job lies in the eye of the beholder. Some people consider a job bad because it is physically demanding or exhausting, involving long hours in the hot sun. Others see it as one that doesn’t pay well. Still others call a job bad because it requires a long commute or a great deal of time sitting behind a desk. It really depends on who you are and what you value and enjoy.
However, everyone knows what a miserable job is.
It’s the one you dread going to and can’t wait to leave. It’s the one that saps your energy even when you’re not busy. It’s the one that makes you go home at the end of the day with less enthusiasm and more cynicism ...
