It’s objectively a “”“good job”“” and suits my personality. Well paid, get to use my science background daily, highly specialised (fewer than 500 people in the country could do it) so the job market is in my favour, not much travel, mostly solitary working, very high degree of autonomy, minimal unavoidable bullshit, colleagues are mostly fine, company isn’t particularly evil, and being in house is orders of magnitude nicer than doing direct client work.
I’m just really fucking bored. All the time.
Still, work to live etc
i have to record the temporary voiceover on all my edits until it gets replaced by the big dogs at the last minute. basically 12 weeks of listening to my own voice doing faux-dramatic tv voiceover guy.

I was going to say the commute, which is more than an hour each way at the moment, but actually I enjoy listening to music in that time.
It’s probably the people, who I have very little in common with, who are incredibly dull, who lack manners, who don’t put their hands over their mouths when they cough, who have political views I disagree with, who sometimes a deliberately a hindrance to others.
They probably say worse about me though.
there’s definitely a thread in “how would the people you work with describe you?”
Giving up precious hours of the only life I’m ever going to live.

Mine is the fact that it is based on a pharmaceutical plant in the plant area we are not allowed our mobile phones. Makes ssmtaying in touch during the day a bit annoying.
One thing.
