I walk in every morning and think about how work will be so much fun and when I leave in the evening I want to drink a human’s spinal fluid coz it’s the only thing that will assuage my ravaged spirit. I feel violated. I feel like everything I believe in is sapped out everyday. So now to find a bitch whose spinal fluid to suck out. For those of you who are spineless, don’t worry, I won’t even come close.
But while on the subject of a new job I have wanted to post this SMS a friend of mine sent me a couple of weeks ago when she joined a foreign mission of one of the North African countries stationed here in Uganda. It read:
“Hi Buddy, meant to call you but no % (MTN ZONE) so it was not worthwhile. The new place is depressing, have to carry my own food, water TP!, no internet allowed, no flash disks, loo for Ugandans’ DIRRTY. No prospects for future development, no challenging work, just faxing, filing, photocopying and answering phone. Need another job.”
I looked at that text for so long that I begun to examine why the hell I had a job and was not just at home eating food and waiting for the big break where my creativity would earn me a million bucks. Then I think about how the Mrs. would throw me out faster than a used ******* (those of you who know my gutter mind can complete that but just in case you don’t, it completes as “douche bag”)
Anyways to all of you who are looking to change jobs, just think twice before your new boss wears the condom to screw you over.
I once told a friend of mine that if you find that your work makes you miserable, it is better to stay home and drink water. I don't know what you do when the bill comes but what the fuck, it can't be worse than slowly dying at a dead end job. So where and what are you up to? We need to link up have some kb.
ReplyDeletei hate to agree (and i almost killed the person who sent u tht sms for quitting without a back up plan) but the truth is , a job u hate kills u bit by bit one day at a time. life's too short my firend, look for a plan B while u still have a little bit of spirit left!!
ReplyDeletecongs on the new kyeyo 'douche bag' :D
ReplyDeletewow i know its a stepping stone where you are at...then yur creativity will be used sooner than you think, keep at it
ReplyDeleteI hate my current job...... but i have no options.... Hang in there
ReplyDeleteinteresting dilemma, i had the same option a few days ago, well paying but dreary, lifeless FULLTIME job. this at a time when i am practically living on air and buns versus following the path i have set out for myself....
ReplyDeleterhino is right, it shouldnt even be a contest.
I've learned that a Job is a Job and if you can get it done, then quit whining. Someone else probably has it worse than you.
ReplyDeletelol...reminds me of the movie 'office space'...have u watched it?
ReplyDeleteAmen to that last bit there...though the chap may not always use a rubber
ReplyDelete@eizzy: no i have seen offcie space. but i have seen the secretay.
