Jane Lake Makes a Mistake

When I first graduated from college, the last thing I wanted to do was work 9 to 5 for a corporation.

Of course, that is exactly what I did. First, it was just to save some money for acting. Then as you move up the ladder and make more money it becomes like a drug. Then you get laid off and you say "What was I doing?" Then a recruiter calls with a job for 50% more money and you say "Yeahhh!!" Then you hate your boss and say "Why am I doing this?" Then a recruiter call with a job for 50% more money and you say "Yeahhh!!"

Finally, you get high enough up in the food chain where you don't have to do any work because your staff does it all, and you get to surf the web and post on blogs, and a recruiter calls with a job for 50% more money with more responsibility and you say, "I'm happy where I am."

All in all, I'd rather be on a beach sucking down margaritas, but I'm not cleaning toilets either (not that there's anything wrong with that!)
