There's No Such Thing as an Easy Job

by Kikuko Tsumura

I’d left my last job because it sucked up every scrap of energy I had until there was not a shred left, but at the same time, I sensed that hanging around doing nothing forever probably wasn’t the answer either.

And, needless to say, money was of utmost importance to me right now. I had no idea when I might burn out next.

I didn’t want to have any more feelings about my work than were strictly necessary. I was done with all that.
