I don't know if I can do it. 40 more years of sitting in an office, staring at a computer screen 40+ hours a week under fluorescent lights working for unappreciative clients and bosses trying to squeeze every last second of productivity out of us while paying us the least amount possible to keep us there.
I don't have a bad job per se – my coworkers are pretty good folks, and I used to enjoy what I do, but the thought of another 40 years of it makes me want run screaming. It's not even that I don't want to do anything, I know that for our society to function, we need to contribute in meaningful ways, but God damn.
I want to enjoy life. I want to wake up in the morning and enjoy a cup of coffee and a scone or something. I want to go for a walk during the day, visit with my friends and family, and feel like I'm actually living my life, not slowly dying in an office.
People weren't meant to live like this. When does it get better?
That's it. That's all. Rant over.
