...did you not see what comm this was before you commented?
Funny you should ask...
I'm just not happy. I hate the industry, the culture, the work itself
Yeah, this is definitely me (well, minus the work itself I guess; I enjoy programming well enough, although other parts of my job are awful). But:
have been there for 10+ years
This is also me (I have a fancy Certificate on my shelf saying I've worked at the company for 10 years, with a lovely glass brick next to it that has the company's logo engraved on it).
I don't know much about this company you work at, but being a sourpuss all the time runs the risk of getting yourself fired, or at least on the shortlist for layoffs if they happen. You can get away with being a grump if your work is good, though, especially if you can make yourself valuable enough that they don't want to lose you.
As for everyone else: the reality of the working world is, no matter how you feel about it, you gotta keep bringing home that cash, so you do what you have to do to make sure you can. I'd bet more of your coworkers feel like you do than you'd guess, but it's not exactly safe to express that where the boss can hear.
All of that said, I'm working on getting into graduate school pretty soon, because I feel like I'm letting my life slip past me, so keep in mind that it's worth exploring possibilities beyond your current circumstances.
PS: Thanks for making this post, it proved to be the impetus I needed to finish up an email to a potential grad school professor.
lmao what a fucking world we live in
Will Wight consistently pulls it off.
My thoughts exactly, it was almost like running into a wall all of a sudden. Like, how the hell can anyone have positive emotions about this absolutely hideous image?
(I realize it's probably a bit but we all know there's real people out there who are really like this.)
Damn, I'd forgotten that line but yeah, it is fucking killer. Need to try and remember it in the future.
Yeah he's got a deal going where they IPO it and fleece the hogs and he gets a big pile of stock. It's what he should have done with that dumb casino company he put together back in the 90s, but he just used that to offload his bad debts instead, while having it pay him for his own jet travel and stuff like that to make a few million here and there on the side.
That is the name of the book--Emily Post's Guide to Etiquette. Should be available at any major bookseller.

did they forget that 'Nazi' is a political party? Fuck this sign and anyone who thinks it's anything less than an open invitation to fascists
