Here, have something to read.
Some days on the commute to the office, I pass by a pie factory. I consider applying for a job there and not having to think about whether I love what I do or whether I’m fulfilled professionally. In a pie factory, you don’t love your job, but you probably get free pie on a weekly basis and that’s a type of love and fulfillment.
But then I remember my factory jobs during college and how the clock sometimes actually moved backwards except during break times; how, if I preferred to stack boxes on the skids instead of doing just about anything else on the assembly line, it didn’t matter because I had no choice of what I could do with my time. I’m not saying I can shoot firecrackers or play video games whenever I want at my current job, but the simple choice of when I want to eat lunch is liberating as hell after factory work.
