Bill

Thursday, July 24th, 2008
Let me tell you something, kid. Working sucks, ok? Working sucks. And it doesn’t matter if you’re in a bank, a department store, or a doughnut factory, because once you’ve been there long enough the only thing you’ll care about is when your next pay increase is, how many vacation days you’ve accrued, and if your health insurance is going to pay for the cholesterol medicine that keeps your heart pumping no matter how much shit you work through it. Then, after you’ve gained 20 or 30 pounds because you’re so f***ing uptight all the time, you wake up and discover that you’re working for your father-in-law in a position with a gratuitous title and you’re totally replaceable, and, not only is the new guy better at your job, but he’s got a better car, and better jokes, and better hair! So no matter what you do, you make sure you make a lot of money doing it because it all sucks! And that is one lesson I, as your mentor, can teach you.

—Bill.

  • Chicago is America's Most Stressful City!:

    Chicago's rising unemployment rate, expensive gas, high population density and relatively poor air quality create a perfect storm of stress, according to measures we used to calculate the country's anxiety hot spots. @.

    Litz was clipping along the dirt road at 25 mph when he came upon a rise, spied a massive black bear 10 feet in front of him, and pedaled directly into the animal, T-boning its broad side. @ Gotta love Montana!

  • Interview Mistakes Include ‘Too Much Information Syndrome’ and Bad Suits:

    OMG, IMO, the author is right: TMI will not get you hired, LOL, so STFU, but FYI, most BL firms are ISO those like themselves, so WTF, dress well regardless, tell others GFY, and be prepared for a rejection unless you resemble the interviewer. TTYL. @
