Well — maybe you are not. All this recent talk (here, here, here) about being passionate about one’s job has caused me to reflect. I realize I likely have the best job I can fathom here at NewSpring. But that is the best job for me; I sincerely hope you have the best job for you. Here’s a quick way to tell: if you are bitter about the menial things in your job, you may be focusing on the wrong thing. I read an article that says employees are filing lawsuits against their employers. Why? The article (read more here) states this:

“Employees claimed that they were not paid for the 15- to 30-minute task of booting their computers at the start of each day and logging out at the end. Add those minutes up over a week, and hourly employees are losing some serious pay.”

First of all, if your computer takes 15 or 30 minutes to boot, you need to perhaps explore a computer made sometime in this millennium. But more importantly, if you are worried about getting paid to boot up your computer, it may be time to look for a new job that fulfills you. And if you have ever made a complaint like this, you are an annoying employee. Go away.
