If you have a bottom rung office job like what you're describing, you're either a lowest common denominator retard or you're just starting out and are expected to deal with mind numbing bullshit for a few years before they let you touch anything meaningful in any way.

Not that there's not plenty of middle managers who do literally nothing every day, but generally by a certain pay scale you're held to achieving some kind of result.

I was fine with office work because the company was chil and there were beers every friday at 3. Then we merged and suddenly everything had to be spotless and timesheets, hour long monday morning meetings and signing an endless array of goodbye cards became the most important thing ever. So I had everyone sign a goodbye card for me and moved to the mountains and o skiing and ride my bike whenever I want. gently caress offices.

I mostly think about how at least i am in an air controlled building sitting on my rear end instead of doing manual labor out in the elements.

Also i can wear headphones so i just listen to music for extra help tuning out everyone and everything else.

I learned to stop caring and understand why people who have been here longer than 10 years go out of their way to do gently caress all.

Trick is to leave before your soul is crushed and you are completely useless.

To be honest, it starts with the hope of a permanent job. I am of the British working class, the lower end, and somehow managed to get employed in the civil service. Don't worry, Mail readers, it was an insignificant dept., but I was there. Absolutely no clue what I was supposed to be doing, but I faked it well, and somehow managed to not get sacked.

Years pass, and I become aware that I'm likely to start killing. Hopefully with a target in mind, but more likely anyone who breathed funny or said something stupid. Or just happened to be near me. I do have some issues from life, but the work poo poo was not helping me be as civilised as we pretend.

This is not good.

So I leave and am now wandering around a museum, sometimes explaining that both mummies and dinosaur fossils are real (actually had to do this) and not wanting to kill quite so many people.

So how do we drones deal with it? Not well, and I'd be cautious when in a government office - one of those cunts might be just like me. Just looking for an reason that justifies...

the trick with office work is to stay busy. when you're bored you start noticing how loud your neighbor chews her gum and that's when the murdering starts

I work at a warehouse currently. We're all hardworking men and women that actually do stuff all day. We also live in poverty.

i worked in a warehouse for a summer job once and while it felt good being exhausted at the end of a working day in a weird masochistic way i could never do that day in day out with the long corridor of my entire working life before me.

Yeah, still not sure why people talk about office jobs being the worst. After construction, warehouse, etc etc, being constantly and nearly killed by the weather, the area, coworker, etc, sitting at a computer is pretty rad.

ed: granted the warehouse job was just physically destroying, not mentally and emotionally. Sometimes I went out on the retail floor to drop something off and the customers would look at this unshaven, sweaty, dust covered hillbilly lurching through the isles and find some inoffensive dork to harrass. Sometimes being inherently repugnant has its upsides.

its not the worst by any means, I'm not saying that. being packed this close to people you didn't choose to be and having to put up with them for 8 hours is pretty weird when you think about it though.
