    I think the begging for the job is more, “I need this to keep a roof over my head and put food on my table,” than any real desire to work at a soulless job.

      Yeah, it’s really begging for some semblance of financial stability. The job is just a means to that end, and more realistic than hoping for a winning lottery ticket.

    Amateur. My dream job was just to exist in nature without a job, just creating to create, and instead I’m constantly tempted with employment

    I got what should have been my dream job. I hated it and I was so depressed that I contemplated suicide. True story.

        And then I found out everyone I worked with on a daily basis was making minimum double, sometimes triple what I was making, though they couldn’t find an extra $5k a year so I could stop driving Uber on the side. So then we had a heart-to-heart. Boss thought the “this is insubordination, I’m your boss!” card would work, because she clearly can’t read a room. And just like that, it turned out she wasn’t my boss anymore, and now they’re just kinda fucked to pick up the pieces I suppose. Whomp whomp.
