Take this job and shove it...

Does anyone really like their job? I mean really like it? You know, loves getting up in the morning and walking into the office. I'm sitting here at work, waiting for a reporter to call in so I can put their chyron information into the rundown, bored out of my mind. I've been trying to beat my best mah jong time for like, 15 minutes. Anyway, I've often wondered if such people really exist. I'm sure they do, but I'm having a hard time accepting it. I mean, I hate my job. Really hate it. Despise getting up in the afternoon, despise the newsroom, despise needy reporters, despise the little "ding" in the iNews program that signifies a new message -- invariably it's some idiot who isn't doing their job, and wants me to do it for them. It's not interesting to work in television. At least, not in news. Local news blows. National news isn't much better. To work in news, you gotta love it. Live it, love it. I don't. I avoid it like the plague. I don't watch it if I can help it. You shouldn't, either. Mainstream media is destroying civilization as we know it. Don't believe me? I worked for FOX for 4 years. Lemme tell you something: if you gotta tell people you're fair and balanced, ya ain't fair and balanced. You're as biased and crooked as they come. No offense, Rupert.
