It's OK to hate your job. In fact, I'd say it's way underrated as a feeling. It's a JOB. It's not guaranteed to be satisfying or fulfilling, it's a way to make money first and foremost. People who genuinely love what they do are few and far between, and it's a form of privilege.

Well.....yes, loving what you do is certainly a form of privilege, but there is a lot of ground between hate and satisfaction/fulfillment.
I'm not sure I'd say it's OK to hate your job, but I do agree it's not something you should feel guilty/bad about, if you don't or haven't had any opportunity to find something else you may like better.
Also, of course you don't need to love your job to be good at it, especially if you're smart about maintaining good career prospects. Hating your job is unlikely to result in a good performance though.

To be clear, that's what I meant - hating one's job is not a pesonal failing, nor a reason to feel guilty or ungrateful or whatever.
For most people, having a job is necessary or near-necessary, and sometimes you take what you can get. But you don't have to be ecstatic about it purely on the grounds that someone out there has it much worse.

Dora is lovely

Dora is in her element here.
I thought 'What about Hannelore?' and then scrolled down to see Jeph was way ahead of me.
Farideh:
New comic.
Is it just me, or did Hanners go a bit overboard with the spreadsheet, cloud storage, and newsletter, considering that Dora that doesn't know anything about it (and thus didn't give permission for it)?
jwhouk:
I suspect it was a case of Hanners suggested something, Dora said “yeah whatevs” and then what you’d expect happened.
