I used to think I'd be bored stiff with an office job (and I'm not sure if I'm wrong) but given the comments I've gotten at my last couple of jobs, I'd probably be better suited to it.

Thanks. Even if I do keep the job beyond this month, I'll probably look for something else because I can tell this place isn't a great fit for me.

Definitely sucks.

Even though you don't like being a cashier, I really hope they ended up keeping you on after the holidays!! And of course that you'll find a better job eventually!
