WHY MY HEAD HURTS

So this is what I think I'd like in a real-world, adult-like world job...

  • A steady schedule, working the same hours each week
  • "Bankers hours": evenings & weekends off
  • A large enough paycheck to feel financially secure, not that I'm really sure what that is anymore...
  • A short commute
  • No uniform-- ability to wear my own clothes
What I probably NEED in a job, though...
  • Respect for & from coworkers & supervisors
  • Not being bored
  • The opportunity to develop and/or advance
  • Some kind of stupid moral meaning, damn me
And I have no idea if those can actually jive. More importantly, I don't think I have faith that they can coexist in this world. I truly no longer believe in the American dream.

This is why my head hurts.
