Purpose of this blog:

After reading Kate Norquay’s blog, I feel its purpose is to ‘Reflect’ what other people think about her job and how they are trying to degrade her.

As you read the blog, you will observe how people’s opinion about her Job has an influence on her. She feels she is too good for her Job for the longest time and thought this Job was beneath her which is a clear reflection of how people ridiculed her about her Job.

The below lines from her blog are a testament to this purpose (Reference):

1.     Over the years, I saw this stereotype play out in a number of ways. The faces of my parents friends falling when I told them what I did. The snide remarks, “Do you still work at McDonald’s?” or “I could never work at a place like that.” Encouragement from my friends, “Just don’t show up to work today!” (Because it’s not a real job.) [ Paragraph 3- from the blog]

2.     And it played out in my own mind. I was a terrible worker — too slow, clumsy and resentful of my circumstances. I quietly decided that I was too good for McDonald’s. I constantly justified myself, “It’s suuuuuch a shit job! But I need money hahaha.” I was a bookish good student who enjoyed intellectual conversation. I wasn’t meant for this useless physical labor. [ Paragraph 4- from the blog]

The main purpose of this blog is to change our attitude towards our Jobs and feeling proud at what we are doing despite the nay-Sayers constantly trying to bring us down.

-----Thank you for reading my insights-----
