I want a job that understands that,
and that’s some hard shit to explain..

That’s how I feel right now about waking up to go to fucking work.

to roll around fast as hell

are rising much higher than your hourly rates.
So if you thinking about quitting, you should probably wait.
‘Cuz everybody gotta do a fucking job that they hate.

Phonte’s been the realest.

=========================================
I'm an advocate for working smarter, not harder. If you just
focus on working hard you end up making someone else rich and
not having much to show for it. (c) mad

You know the one...

College, degree, find a 'career', 'prove yourself', collect big moneys, eventually retire.

And really, I've done okay as it relates to that plan. I should have more money saved but hey...

BUT

I don't think I ever could've imagine how tired you could be even if/when you have a 'good job'. There's sooooooo many issues! Both random and recurring! Big and small! All of em can blow your mind, tick you off, make you want to quit, or at least make you want to deliver some kind of Pacino speech to some boss and/or some underneath person who wouldn't come close to 'getting' what you're trying to tell them.

It could be that kinda wack person who keeps on hanging on while being obviously and unapologetically wack..late to meetings, never prepped, can't make a deadline ever, usually on the wrong side of every 'this or that' discussion, all of that stuff. It could be some goofy/bad process. Or some weird/bad software stuff. Too much turnover/not enough solid reaction to said turnover. You know...office job stuff.

Came in at about 8:30
Fired up my laptop
Started my TPS reports
Realized at about 9:15 that I wasn't feeling it
Struggled internally for about 20 minutes over whether I was being a bitch, just having a moment, or whether there was another way to pull me outta the funk.

Gathered my things at 9:40 and left.
On the way out, the only other brother looks at me and taps his watch and says "calling it a day already?". I don't think he actually thought I was leaving, I just think he saw me with my coat in my hand and wanted to make funnies.

I told him "sometimes you just gotta say Fuck It"

And I meant it. I realize that I'm fortunate enough to even be able to do that, and I hope next week is a better week.

I really wish we could take 2 year sabbaticals without worrying about finding a job or starting a new career. As a parent, I am in a place where I would like to take 2 years off to just be a mom, attend wellness classes and explore my state.

This constant work, with hopes of getting a little $20k-30k pay increase until we are 57 or 62 years old feels oppressive.

There are only so many things you can shop for, places to travel to and restaurants to eat out at. I would like to be able to rest and read a book.

There are lots of movements calling for a break from work such as anti work, tang ping (China), and black people calling for more rest.

America is just too work-centric. Exhausting and unrewarding.

like its a long time.. lol.

Can’t imagine what a year off would feel like.


But I’m at an age where I’m on my Soul II Soul.. “whats the meaning of life?” it sure can’t be working

more than a month would be great. i cant really fathom 2 years.

i say cut work days to 6 hours and 4 days a week. make managers justify why they need each person to work on site too.

for tat so all I did was call it petty. People around me say I need to fight back but that is just not my nature. I have to put real energy into comebacks and retorts, energy that I don’t want to spend.

Seriously, when is it worth it to sink to another person’s level?
