And I mean perfectly qualified, almost as if I was put on this earth exactly for this position. That’s how good of a match it was. Technical Editor position with Google, asking for 3 years of experience and a bachelors degree. I bring 3.5 years of experience and a masters to the table, with amazing references, perfect internal and external reviews, a 3.9 GPA, and a personal voucher from a tech editor AND a senior web dev at Microsoft. Not too overly qualified for the job scope, but also not a babe fresh out of undergrad stumbling in the woods. The perfect medium-ground employee that will offer the max amount of benefit while draining the least amount of costs. Or at least I thought so.

It's so stupid that we are expected to be “on” for 8 hours of the day, 5 days of the week, 20 days of the month. It's not natural. It's stupid we have to work when not in the mood, pretending like everything is OK and being productive. My job isn't even physical, it's just an office job but it's so mentally draining. Im grinding just so I can make the CEOs of the company I work for wealthier. It's all so mundane.
