    I’ve heard this a lot but I don’t put too much weight to it. It’s too easy to forget that you had bills to pay and just think “if I had just quit my job everything would have been sunshine and rainbows”

      Impression I get is that its more don’t treat your career like its your life. Which is absolutely something a fair few people do.

      depends on the job and why you’re doing it. a lot of people are working jobs they hate to provide for people they love, who they don’t feel loved by. and that’s some fucked up shit.

      what’s weird as a dude, i find personally, is that if you aren’t suffering for your job, you’re considered an underachieving. I don’t get it. there is a weird fetishization that men must be miserable at their jobs, or if they love their work, they must be working 80 hours a week at it.

      i work my 35 hours, my bills are paid, i am enjoying life… don’t see why this is so offensive to folks.

      It really is sunshine and rainbows… and rain, and sleet and snow. because youre homeless, and have no roof over your head.

      Remember, this is how we are when there is hardly any scarcity. Just imagine how things will be when its metal on metal.
