You hate your job, you have a headache, you want a dog

You’re Doing Great #4

Hello, hello.
This week my mother called to tell me she had a dream-vision that I would become an advice columnist. I said, “well, I have an advice column,” but she insists that something bigger this way comes. Now she keeps calling to ask if Oprah has gotten in touch yet. Oprah, I know you are reading this: stop lurking! My clairvoyant momma is on to you.

And to Oprah and everyone else: how are you? What’s on your mind? Send me your questions here.

Dear Sofia,
I’m well into my third year at a job I am not passionate about and that is slowly taking more and more of my joy. I’m trying to get out ASAP but in the meantime I’m finding it very hard to set boundaries with work.
Yours,
I hate my job but keep saying yes

Thanks for reading! If reading this made you laugh (by ‘laugh,’ I mean one of those sort of sneer-snorts that count as laughter when reading alone), or nod, or feel something like ants moving around in your chest, or realize you had to pee, or remember to pick up your dry cleaning, or knock over your coffee with your knee, then press a button down here so I can quantify my week and impress my one friend who likes numbers (Scoot).
