  I think the begging for the job is more, “I need this to keep a roof over my head and put food on my table,” than any real desire to work at a soulless job.

    Yeah, it’s really begging for some semblance of financial stability. The job is just a means to that end, and more realistic than hoping for a winning lottery ticket.

    it’s basically just a fancy way of saying “hey god could i maybe not die in the near future?”

    Might be time to realize that they all suck at some level

      Oh, I’m long past there. The trick is making the other things work adequately.

    And then what happened?

      And then I found out everyone I worked with on a daily basis was making minimum double, sometimes triple what I was making, though they couldn’t find an extra $5k a year so I could stop driving Uber on the side. So then we had a heart-to-heart. Boss thought the “this is insubordination, I’m your boss!” card would work, because she clearly can’t read a room. And just like that, it turned out she wasn’t my boss anymore, and now they’re just kinda fucked to pick up the pieces I suppose. Whomp whomp.

  I got what should have been my dream job. I hated it and I was so depressed that I contemplated suicide. True story.

  I have never thought that about any job. I just dont want to be homeless (again).

  Amateur. My dream job was just to exist in nature without a job, just creating to create, and instead I’m constantly tempted with employment
