i don't like my job

[Ava]

can i join the club? :rofl:

[trof]

1. What do you do?

[Ava]

2. answer phones, do faxes, run errands, file stuff with the court house

and whatever else they tell me to do

[trof]

3. Ah...this is called foot-in-the-door in politics.

And I would expect no less of you.
Way to go.
Learn the ropes.

4. I'm sorry you hate your job. But that sounds rather interesting

to work in a courthouse, especially if you are in an urban area or large city where a lot of crimes and lawsuits happen. Do you get to snoop through the case files in your spare time?

[mulsh]

5. you're a very smart person, I can tell by your posts.

In every work place there's all sorts of stuff just waiting for someone, anyone to do it. At a courthouse there's also all sorts of information floating around. The really stupid people tend to look down at the lowly grunts, always a mistake. take advantage of your situation and learn stuff.

oh yea, welcome to the club.

[Rhythm]

6. I'd switch with you any day of the week...

and twice on Saturdays.

[GOPisEvil]

7. Welcome to the next 50 years.

:hi:

[cuke]

12. I was gonna say "Give it fifty years and you'll be hating ALL jobs"

damn you!! You ARE evil

8. You can make the job interesting

You have access to some interesting professionals and politicians as well as others working to make the court house function. Stop and talk to people. Ask them about their life and the paths they have taken. Everybody has a different story. Look at your access as a unique opportunity to improve yourself by learning from others around you. Don't judge, just accept and absorb. You'll be amazed at how enriching this can be. Good luck!

9. Oh Ava.....

you remind me of my daughter (and me when I was younger). Wanted to change the world yesterday. Everything takes to long.

Welcome to the club sweetie and get yourself a cup of coffee. On second thought I'll gofer some for the both of us.;) I tell the little one that you developer all kinds of skill sets. By working in the courts etc. you are learning the law (all kinds) by osmosis. It will do you good one day-you never know.

You do just fine:jewishgrandmothercheekpinch:

[MazeRat7]

10. Well, at least you have one.

I understand, believe me. I would love to have a job I didn't like right now. But as soon as I did, I would say "I don't like my job".
Odd.

11. so now you are a gopfer...........or a go-fer

"Likewise gofer may refer to a junior member of an organization who generally receive the most vexing and thankless work. Firms with a top-heavy management structure, having not enough junior lawyers to take care of menial yet necessary tasks can be referred to as having --->"too many loafers and not enough gophers".<-----
or

"One early reference to the term gofer as an occupation was made in Season 1 of the television series The Muppets when Scooter was offered the position by Kermit. The pun was that Muppets were based on animals and a --->gopher<--- is also an animal."

look at this way....now you can become a "working class hero"

13. I am sorry to welcome you to our club..

I have been a member since 1987..
It is easier to get out of the friggen mafia I think.

[trof]

14. Hmm...law office or courthouse?

Just re-read OP.

[Ava]

15. law office

sorry if some people here got the wrong idea. i take stuff to the court and run errands there a lot, but i work in a law office not the court itself.

[tigereye]

16. with the skills you already seem to have acquired, you can make your own!

that's a pretty cool thing, actually.

[Ava]

17. all joking aside my job is very boring

but i don't hate it and i love the people i'm working with. i just have to deal with a bit of boredom. ;) :P

[janx]

18. Wait a minute. Ava, didn't you just start that job?

Wasn't it yesterday or something? :rofl:

[MissMillie]

19. liking the people you work with

is pretty good consolation.

Seriously. It could be much, much worse.

[fizzgig]

20. i had the same job when i was your age

it was so dreadfully dull sometimes, especially when the senior partner wanted me to pick up his dry cleaning or drop off his library books (i never understood why he could drop off the cleaning and pick up the book, but not do the reverse) :eyes: my personal favorite was when they'd come to me at 3:30 and tell me i needed to file something at the federal courthouse by 5...the federal courthouse was just over an hour away...i have no idea how i never got a ticket screaming down the interstate.

it was a father and son shop and the son did criminal defense, so i got to help prepare for a couple of very interesting and high profile trials and that was really interesting. outside of that, it wasn't very interesting.
