So I started the new job today. Oddly it feels much like the old job I held seven years ago. Would this seem to suggest that I’ve wasted the better part of seven years? I want to say no, but in truth I have to admit that I’m essentially worse off now than I was all those years ago. Pretty sad. Mistakes were made. I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time. Perhaps realizing this will allow me to have greater success in the days to come, but I fear that I will end up just making the same old mistakes. I waste so much time trying to sense which way the tide is flowing…and I still can’t tell. I feel like I’m doomed to toil in the hottest and noisiest jobs our fine country has to offer. Oh well…a great man once suggested we should learn to enjoy losing.
If nothing else, I wish people had more respect for skilled tradesmen. Most people just don’t understand the shit that we have to go through so their McMansions look beautiful. Next time you look around your house and admire your perfect life and possessions, say a silent prayer for all the poor bastards that broke their backs to satisfy your aesthetic sensibilities.
Now, off to pack my lunch for tomorrow like a good little communist!
