Well, I was wrong - it was mum who suggested data entry work, not dad. And they had a "discussion" today while I was at my driving lesson...now it seems I have to do sales assistant work, whether I like it or not.

I tried telling dad that I didn't want to do that sort of work, and he said that's a bad attitude - talk about stating the obvious! How am I possibly going to fake an enthusiasm about a job I don't want?

I'm a terrible liar, and nobody's going to hire someone who doesn't want the job. I don't see the point in applying, but it looks like I don't have a choice. Funny, I thought part of getting older was being able to make your own decisions...
