So I've been stuck in the same little grey box sorting papers and files the old fashioned way for the last 6 fucking years. The bosses are cheap asses who refuse to go digital like the rest of the civilized world.
I was propped into the job by religious old people who still believe in that “Start at the bottom” bullshit. I'm still in square one with literally a 2% raise only every 2 fucking years. The biggest problem: that place and my idiot co-workers really fuck up my mental stability.
Now that I'm paid just barely enough to finally afford a driving school, an interesting revelation dawned on me… I've got 10 classes this semester, each one since last Tuesday I've been taking directly AFTER getting out of that whack-shack with my mind and emotions boiling with frustration and rage.
Safe to say I royally fucked up my first 3 classes, and it seemed as though I was never gonna get shit done in this school. So to make up for it, my instructors booked me another class on Saturday at 9:15AM. So I got up early, and a shit, shower and shave later I was back off to the class.
To the shock of both my instructor and myself, I didn't make a single fucking mistake, my performance just went through the roof, and my horrible grades from 3 days improved in just 1 single take… I walked away happy and confused at the same time.
As I walked back home, it didn't take me long to realize the fact that me not having to sit with fucking anything or anyone having to do with that office was the missing ingredient of that great performance in class. If I ever needed another reason to GTFO of that stupid place, it'd be this.
A shit job with shittier pay can keep you under the thumb of circumstances for the rest of your life, but anything from relatively tolerable to outright enjoyable with shitty pay? The whole fucking planet could be eating out your palm within the next fucking year!
