As some of you may know, I have recently (5 weeks ago) started working a 8-5 job. Now for some of you, this is not too bad...but considering my last job was a 8-12, I consider these 8 hours of my life a reoccurring hell. Not only is it the most cliché of offices, but I have been cut-off from the outside world. You see, I have no cell phone service in this mysterious rat race. That being said, I mine as well not even bring my phone battery because it's just gonne die 2 hours later. In the end I guess it's best for my phone to die, because it reduces my contact with any of my 4 bosses. That's right...4. I feel like I'm stuck in the movie Office Space. Everyone is in constant fear of losing their job, and have no respect for the people working under them. At any rate, this whole working thing isn't quite what I was hoping for.
I get the feeling that not too many people like working. You're probably like, "Wait 'a figure that out Einstein." But I bring that up, because I don't think people should just stop working, but I do think if you are gonna spend 40 hours a week, 160 hours a month, 1920 hours a year, and so on, you mine as well enjoy what you're doing. I know I've mentioned something like this earlier, but it's important. People doing something they hate for that long can't be good for your mental health. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say to all you people who invest hundreds of dollars on migraine pills, is it really worth it? Imagine how much stress you could relieve just from spending 40 hours a week doing something you like. I have read in my adventures through the internet that it takes approximately 10,000 hours to master anything, obviously depending on how often you do it. You can't just practice really hard for a week then blow it off for a month. Just think, it would only take 5ish years for you to master anything, if you spend as much time on it as you do at work! Pretty amazing stuff if I do say so myself. You will have obstacles to work through. I dunno about you, but I can't sit and play guitar for 8 hours straight, I've tried. The end fact is that society looks down upon people who do this. People who chase their dream can't live off of what they do. Thus, we are thrown back into this endless cycle of doing what we don't like because it is impossible to live otherwise.
I have no transition!!!!
Here's a story:
Early last week, I was talking to one of my bosses and realized that there might be more to this company than I once thought. I realized that there is so much drama, I mine as well be living in Newport Beach. I'm confused, but since when is college the peak of maturity? I mean all that high school drama was bound to return after college. I wish I knew this was coming. If I had know how much gossip travels around the working world I would have just not bothered to introduce myself...I bet everyone would have known me. I guess I don't understand the corporate world. Just figures.
Have a good day.
