“It's not work itself that makes one unhappy about work. It's the inability to get your work done which makes you unhappy.”
How out of touch is this? I find my unhappiness about work to be proportional to imbalance of work I'm given to the work in supposed to do at my paygrade. I couldn't give a shit about “inability to get my work done”. All I want to do is to be able to wake up one day and know I'm going to do exactly the 8 hours of work I'm supposed to do (and what I'm actually paid for) and nothing more, and not feel like I will be behind as a result of it the day after.
Truly astounding there are people like this out there.
