Somebody has a case of The Mondays...

Today at work, I had a very strong negative reaction to my working environment. I worked all day at an office building and I was struck with the notion that I really dislike offices. I was just sitting there in front of the supervisor's desk and thinking how much being there bothered me. I wasn't even there to sit at a desk, I was there to bring morning and afternoon teas and lunch stuff to boardrooms and to clean the kitchens and stuff. It was a nice office too, but I just couldn't handle being there. Unfortunately, I have to work there again tomorrow and possibly a few more times next week because I'm filling in for someone who;s on holiday. It really made me wonder if I am ever going to able to work in an office again. Am I going to have to settle for blue-collar jobs my whole life? I think I could see myself doing this for a good long while, which I know would not make certain people happy. I don't know, I just think it's more satisfying to work up a sweat during work than leaving at the end of the day after spending the whole time sitting on your ass. I know eventually I'll have to enter the white-collar work world, but I can't see myself doing it anytime soon. Is this a waste of an education? Am I cheating myself out of a potentially lucrative career? I can really see myself working my way throughout the world being a server. Is that nuts?
