I Hate My Job

2019 - HOPE

Started this job thinking it would "build character."

Character built: exhausted.

Learned 47 new responsibilities.

Received 0 new money.

Manager said “we’re family here.”

Worst family reunion ever.

Attended meetings that could’ve been emails.

Lost pieces of my soul daily.

Coffee became a survival requirement.

Sleep became optional.

Another “quick call” lasted 3 hours.

I aged visibly.

Vacation request denied.

Apparently suffering is mandatory.

Send help.

Or pizza.

Then the laptop closes.

The sunlight feels real again.

Music gets louder. Food tastes better. Time finally belongs to me.

No meetings. No deadlines. No “quick calls.”

Just peace.
