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.

In Simon's eyes, his high-powered businessman father Matt (BILL SMITROVICH) wasted no time in marrying his stepmother Lauren (LISA BURGETT), a woman with a perfect facade whom he suspects of having an affair with Matt long before his mother's demise. When Simon is sent away to boarding school in preparation to attend Princeton, he meets Andrew (ERIC MABIUS), the resident stoner, who introduces him to marijuana and LSD, and immerses him into a whole new world populated by dreamers, artists, Utopians, flower children, and partiers who spend the better part of their lives "on tour" at music festivals. Simon does not fit in at his boarding school but is deeply moved by the beauty and freedom of these people, and feels they are the family he has always sought. At his very first concert Simon meets Jennifer (TARA REID), a beautiful young hippie to whom he is immediately attracted; Trace (COLMAN DOMINGO), a hipster on the road less traveled who immediately bonds with him; and Kevin (HENRI LUBATTI), a champion of the "seize the day" ethic---who is dying of AIDS. He lives in a van, following a band called "Uncle Pants and the Slow Drain" on tour for a while after he graduates. As Simon delves deeper into this new-found free-spirited lifestyle, he faces an inevitable conflict not only with the life his father has planned for him, but also with the self-destructive emotional turmoil deep within.

He then gets arrested, which land him in a strict drug rehab program run by a street-smart, yet caring woman named Kate (CHARLAYNE WOODARD).
