having a job and hating oneself
« on: August 19, 2003, 01:50:05 pm »
Quote from: "Ray"
When you get to more like 22-23 in human years you’ll start to settle into kind of a routine with a regular job that requires black shoes, and at 25-26 you’ll start drinking to ignore the self-parody you’ve become, and in the late twenties you’ll open your eyes and really start to hate yourself. You’ll live to about 70 or so, I think that’s the lifespan for humans.

Working is fo' suckas.

... yeah, I guess that makes me a sucka.

Do y'all hate your jobs?

I don't hate it, but I don't exactly look forward to going in to the office every morning, either.  If only I was a cartoon cat with a big house and a fat recording contract courtesy of the devil.

Yeah, I don't really hate my job either.  My co-workers are all rad.

I'd just... rather be independently wealthy, that's all.  You know how it is.

I'm still cool on the "self-hate" front, though.

I like my job, as jobs go, but I'm looking forward to being unemployed this time next year.  

At this point, I hate having a job, though I'm going to hate leaving this particular job when the time comes.

Wow.  That's some serious angst.

What do you do?

Well, grad school doesn't exactly count as a job, even though I usually do spend more than 40 hrs/wk in the lab.  I don't hate it, by any means, but I don't really like some of the people in my lab, and I'm bored with my research project.  Fortunately, I'm less than a year from graduation (*fingers crossed*), and then I get to find a real job to hate...

My job ain't so bad. I get six months off a year, and I make more money than I deserve, and the six months I am working everything is paid for in terms of food, shelter, et cetera.

I work as a subcontractor for an oil company in an oil field which is about 800 miles away from my home.

Oil companies tend to pay a lot. Which is cool.

i don't mind my job other than it takes time that i would otherwise use for things that i would rather be doing.  my job is basically to be the guy that the tech support people ask when they don't know what to tell the users.  i also have what someone else here with a different job than me called "TS magic" where i can make the software do amazingly cool things that it wouldn't do except that i told it to.
