The Dark Side Of “Do What You Love” – The Job

by

office cube work

(Steve continues his descent into the pains of the job world that the flip advice “Do What You Love” avoids, doesn’t cover, or even actively keeps us from facing. Now, we’ll look at what happens when you actually get that dream job.”)

So you decided to “Do What You Love” for a living, and actually are doing it for a living. You overcame your circumstances, your ignorance, educational challenges, and more. By luck, pluck, or co-incidence you’re there. Congrats.

And you should be congratulated. Judging from a lot of people I talk to they’re no where near living their dreams, even the realistic ones. Please, contact me so you can blog here.

But now that you’re in the job, well, there’s a few things “Do What You Love” doesn’t cover. Like how much it’s probably going to suck.

It’s Always Judgement Day

by

Judgement Day, when your deity of choice comes to judge the living and the dead.

Only something happened.  We got the internet and social media, we got reality TV and high-tech gossip.  We got selfies and Tweets.

Now we’ve got a continuous Judgement Day going on.  We’re looking at each other, looking at ourselves, looking at our world, and judging and evaluating – and others are looking at us and doing the same.

We’re carrying out a constant Judgement Day.

So do we like what we see?  Can we admit it?
