I want to leave my current job. I dislike it. What do I do? That's the story. Let us start from the start.
Once upon a time there was a man, a very rich man. One fine day, he decided to quit his job and go traveling. He traveled the globe for six years. He absorbed all the sights and sounds. And he maintained a record of all that he saw and felt in the form of a written + photography journal. Upon returning, he decided to make this his full-time job - travel writing and photography. Hence was born Kunzum Media Lab, a publishing house that creates content based on travel - little-big-cheesy factoids on travel. Information with a wow factor. Infotainment. It deals with blogging, photography, making videos, publishing books, e-magazines - all based on travel. The content is mostly created by the owner. He has a small team (including me) that edits and curates it. Being rich, he started his own travel cafe - a space for people to relax and read and use the free wifi and devour endless cups of coffee and tea and cookies. At the end of their session, they have the choice to pay-what-they-want in an honesty box by the door, or leave. Sad to notice that most just leave. Still, some generous souls come up everyday and help the cafe maintain its operation costs.
My role here is an administrative one. I'm supposed to keep everyone up-to-date with what is happening in the cafe and at work. Ensure everyone completes their tasks on time. Edit and curate content. Create media lists. Promote the brand and its events and its partners and offers on social media platforms. Organise events. Help the 'creatives' on their shoots. It is a boring, relaxed routine and a dull, pointless job. I don't enjoy it. Hence I want to leave. Good enough for you?
