I realize how spoiled the previous post sounds. Oh, boo hoo, being forced to go on a free trip to Amsterdam, right? I understand that most people can't afford to go on trips around the world so often.

The problem is, I'm one of those people, you see. It's not a sense of spoiledness, but a sense of responsibility that's provoking my frustration. If Mommy* pays for me my entire life, and I get into the habit of shirking my responsibilities because fun opportunities come along, it's not a good thing, that's all. Okay, so it's not my dream job, it's not a career-building, bank-filling barrel of laughs, but it is my job and I have a responsibility to my employers.

I felt the need to clarify, and justify my previous remarks because, rereading the post, I realized how it sounded.
