 Previous Message
This year it just made me realize how much I dislike my job and resentful of having to work and wishing I was retired or at least somewhere else.
Too bad the job market is a smoking hole in the ground for white collar workers, so there’s zero chance of getting another job anywhere, even taking a two level demotion and pay cut.
