Do people take jobs seriously? I honestly don't know.
Some of my friends have volunteered for an internship/ applied for a job, worked for just a few days and quit because they found that it wasn't as fun as they thought it would be. I'm not sure if this is the right attitude as you wanted the job in the first place, and nobody forced you to apply for it - since you wanted it, you stick with it to the very end.
Of course this may be very critical of me to say so, since the jobs that I've worked was very much liked by myself and I didn't regret changing my jobs. Very recently (in fact, just half an hour ago), I went for a job interview for a cashier at a local supermarket. It wasn't what I expected because I am required to work the night shift, ie from 6pm to 11.20pm. After much deliberation, I accepted it in the end because - hey, it IS my dream job! But now I'm not sure if I'd regret my choice in the future.
An told me to reject the job immediately after I called him after the interview, and I vehemently refused because I've already accepted it. What would they think of me if I were to turn back and suddenly reject the job? Because of this I got extremely mad and... here I am writing this blog post.
I want to work. I have a thirst to work. So I will work. I will take the responsibility and blame my stupid past self in the future if I were to hate cashiering. Since I brought it upon myself, I will continue through the next gruelling 6 months.

Situated in the sunny island of Singapore, Jolene recently (is 2 years considered recent?) graduated from university and is now working in a job she never expected herself to hold. Besides having frequent quarter-life crises, she also indulges in video games, anime, and aesthetic korean girls documenting their life in vlogs.
Although not as eloquent with words, she still aims to try her best to bring across her thoughts to the Internet.
