Yea well I'm in college and work at Walmart...I have contemplated homelessness

Having been homeless, I can assure you that your job is not that bad.

When I see this, it makes me think of Desiderata of which I have memorized and repeat to myself often. I will share with you:

  Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
  and remember what peace there may be in silence.

  As far as possible without surrender
  be on good terms with all persons.
  Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
  and listen to others,
  even the dull and the ignorant;
  they too have their story.
  Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
  they are vexations to the spirit.

  If you compare yourself with others,
  you may become vain or bitter;
  for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

  Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
  Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
  it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
  Exercise caution in your business affairs;
  for the world is full of trickery.
  But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
  many persons strive for high ideals;
  and everywhere life is full of heroism.

  Be yourself.
  Especially, do not feign affection.
  Neither be cynical about love;
  for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
  it is as perennial as the grass.

  Take kindly the counsel of the years,
  gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
  Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
  But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
  Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

  Beyond a wholesome discipline,
  be gentle with yourself.
  You are a child of the universe,
  no less than the trees and the stars;
  you have a right to be here.
  And whether or not it is clear to you,
  no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

  Therefore be at peace with God,
  whatever you conceive Him to be,
  and whatever your labors and aspirations,
  in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

  With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
  it is still a beautiful world.
  Be cheerful.
  Strive to be happy.

Jobs not so bad... its being trapped in a cubicle that kills me...

RamBamBooey · 1 year

My job is so bad I stopped going to Chinese restaurants because the cookies are too depressing.

IThinkImFunny · 1 year

Just graduated from college in May. Currently have a government job which pays mid $30K a year, with room for advancement to almost triple what I currently make. I don't do much of anything important and some of my friends make more than I do, but I look at it as a stepping stone to something greater. I live at home, rent-free, paying off student-loans and know that I have it better than a large percentage of the population. I only get to see my girlfriend on the weekends, but I will move out when I get the chance/save enough money.

May not be ideal, but life is good. I've recently learned to stop bitching and to just keep my head up and work hard, and ya know what, the 9 hour workdays fly by now. Working for the weekends.

This is American society in a nutshell, most people spend most of their time doing something they dislike because it's preferable to homelessness

What was it George Carlin said "Most people work just hard enough to not get fired, and make just enough money to not quit."

I lol'ed because this internship is killing me

IIoWoII · 1 year

I was fine being unemployed, until I had a GF. Then, shit got real.

Otherwise, yea, working (read: wasting 8 hours, 5 days a week, of your life) is no better choice.

philmoskowitz · 1 year

That's exactly how employers dial in your work load, pay and misery. Just enough to keep you from going bonkers and walking out. Welcome to humanity's adolescence.

rmnature · 1 year

I think your seriously under-appreciating the benefits of riding your homeless shopping kart down every hill you see and beating off anywhere you choose, in front of anybody you could care less about.

thesliver · 1 year

I sometimes wonder if people in "less fortunate" countries are actually happier than the average U.S. citizen?

Have you ever tried being homeless? Don't knock it until you have.

Swampfunk · 1 year

everyday I get home, rip off my work clothes and throw them on the ground, and I scream " FREEEEEEEEEDDDDOOOOMMMM !""" and then run to the nearest awesome thing I can get my hands on and rock that shit. Why? Because I WANT TO!

Have you ever been homeless...?

Medice · 1 year

I know this isn't a contest, but I have one of the worst jobs a person can have. i work as a commercial insulator. I'm around a possible carcinogen everyday, plus some of the jobs have asbestos all over the place that my mask will not filter 100%.Furthermore the itch is incredibly bad, and i work in tight confined spaces...so you guys don't have it nearly as bad. Also, did I mention I have a degree in finance?

End rant.

Is that a Zig Ziglar quote

notaprettygirl · 1 year

Somehow I knew this was going to be a someecard when I clicked the link. I thought it was going to be this one, though. (Sorry, I'm way too lazy to put it on imgur, but it's the one that says "Sometimes the best part of my job is that the chair swivels.")

If I could have access to a clean river/lake, sleep in the wild, and be able to forage food from the forest, I would gladly be homeless, but the law won't allow that. Everything is owned or restricted. Living like a nomad, would bring me so much more joy than spending 40hrs a week trying to get people to waste their money-- that they earned doing the same kind of capitalistic job.

[deleted] · 1 year

...Since the person who posted this, comfy in their well-worn computer chair, knows so much about what it feels like to be homeless.

You're doing it wrong...

Anybody else cringe a bit at the attitude of this post vs. the one above it about a trucker whose sister just died, whose funeral he can't attend, and who doesn't quite have the time to post snarky things on the internet while doing his job?

I like my job, maybe I'm just weird.

It's to the point now where I sit on the shitter for 15 minutes every morning just thinking about retirement. I'm fucking 26 years old.

1500 upvotes for an ecard? You confuse me, Reddit.

But you know, that'll make people work just hard enough not to get fired.

I don't hate my job but I can't say I love it. I am just thankful to be working fulltime after 2 years of being under-employed. People at work are pretty cool so far as well.
