This time it isn’t.
That’s classic.
I have to say I was living in that type of hell six years ago until it dawned on me if I wanted to make anything of my life, I was going to have to put my shoulder to the plow, and DEFINE MY OWN FUTURE.
(The conversation cracks me up because how true it is.)
Your friend says “dude” and “fuck” too much. He/she would probably be more suited to working as a bartender in some low dive joint.
I was stuck in that kind of hell a couple years ago. I suddenly saw what I was doing and simply quit. Everyone said I was stupid for quitting such a solid job. A week later I accepted a new job with a little more money and more responsiblity. Then six months later the department had a big shake up and now I’m the Dept. Manager! I’m so glad I quit my crappy job to take something better. I’d never have made these career jumps at my old job!
