I Really Hate My Job

‘Every day is another day closer to the day I’ll never have to do this again.’ Five women, one restaurant, one night, one birthday, one breakdown. Then the phone rings. A famous actor is coming for dinner. I Really Hate My Job is the story of an evening in a café in London’s Soho. As in so many jobs, nothing much happens – except laughter, song, rage, collapse, intrigue, cooking, lying, nudity, conversation, secrets, love, friendship, ageing, hatred, rat-infestation and the arrival of a movie star. I Really Hate My Job. Who hasn’t said it? A career. It’s what happens when you lose control of a car on a wet road and it slams into a brick wall. You might assume they’re just three waitresses, one cook and one dishwasher but they see themselves as an artist, an actor, a lover, an author and a philosopher.
