      Most jobs are a pointless waste of time that are upheld under the threat of starvation and destitution, and I say that as someone fully employed.

        I can do you one even better. I am full time employed, I train IT supporters. Which means, that my job is to enable people to waste their time, in order to make you be able to waste yours. Just taking another trip round the wast-o-time-ception merry-go-round: my school employs IT staff as well.

        Life is hard, pointless, and full of injustice. But at least in the end you get to die a meaningless death while alone and afraid.

        This got dark, remember that you need to pretend to be happy again come Monday morning. Otherwise starvation will get you before the tumor, that you didn’t know you were to going to get 5 years before “retirement”. Here’s a little inspiration “Pretend You’re Happy” by Jay Forman recorded in the luxury of what appears to be a 2000s 3 door citroën saxo https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PeCrnbJHJeY

        If I didn’t have a mortgage, kids, and obligations, then I might just be walking the earth myself.

        His journey, on the other hand, is a pointful waste of time.
