Antiwork

Had a coworker tell me that I was asking for too much, and that I would never be satisfied in life.

This was 6 months ago. It was my first laboratory job out of college, and I spent 2 years there working myself like a dog for shit wages. He’s been working there for 15 years making mediocre wages, but acts like he’s a part of management. I warned him that complacency is worse than wanting more. I put my resume on indeed and got a call for a job that paid 2(1/2)X what I was earning. I’m much happier where I’m at now.
