does having/getting/etc a job feel like a relationship? it almost feels worse...especially in the beginning...the whole "will he call or will he not call" drama. I pretty much aced this new job(he was talking to me like I already had it), but they havent called back, and its almost been a week~ and just not sure If I should call yet or not. Ugh...

..and after a few years it is a real drag and you sit around daydreaming about how much better you could do elsewhere.

and you get by with the minimum input!
Cos you can do it in your sleep!

"Whatever made me think that this is what I wanted to do with the rest of my life???

And then you start checking out the Wanted ads....(it's the same salary but the prospects are SO much better).

Yep just like a relationship!

If one really LOves the job they are doing then it wouldn't be like as you say a relationship.
