7 Reasons to Hate Your Day Job
November 5th, 2007 | Published in Personal Development | 6 Comments
- Getting Up Every Morning
There are some days when you wake up and don’t ever want to leave the bed, sit all day watch cartoons. Especially when there is a storm outside and you are feeling like you are chained to your warm bed. Too bad you aren’t at school anymore and you gotta hit the storm. Every frakking day. (Our thanks to Battlestar Galactica for this lovely word:) There is a new social organization in Denmark which describes themselves as “Morning Haters” and called B-Society which push companies to allow B-society to start work after10-11 a.m. I hope they help all the worlds B-society.
- Time
The time passes by quickly. You turn the speed up by going to the same job everyday and living the same day over and over. You start to lose your sense of time and when you look back you see years left behind. A quote from Rumble Fish (to make you more depressed):
“Time is a funny thing. Time is a very peculiar item. You see when you’re young, you’re a kid, you got time, you got nothing but time. Throw away a couple of years, a couple of years there… it doesn’t matter. You know. The older you get you say, “Jesus, how much I got? I got thirty-five summers left.” Think about it. Thirty-five summers. .”
- Boss
If you have a psycho boss you know what I mean. Employees sitting around in fear waiting for the “YOU’RE FIRED” talk. This is actually about the character of the boss. If he/she has a huge ego waiting to burst with the authority of being a boss prepare for torture. There are some people who actually become a boss at the same while remaining a joyful person. (The statistics show that people who has a big ego and always in the pursuit of proving themselves are more likely to become bosses. This statistic belongs to me:)
- Seeing Same People Every Day
There are some days that I am even bored of myself. The odds of having some colleagues that can transform into the most annoying creatures in time is really high. As days pass every gesture and detail of a person will grow bigger and bigger in your eyes. Thinking of many years to come prepare yourself to pain and agony.
- Feeling Trapped
This is modern slavery. Whatever you do you have to keep working working and working. The time you are given to spare your self is just greasing the gears and getting you ready to work for more. It is the feeling of being trapped like a rat in a cage; that really gets you down.
- Forward Mails
If you are working in a big company with lots of employees then you will receive a mail with subject: Fw: LOVELYYYY CATS every day. I have a cat myself and I love cats but I don’t love people forwarding cat photos everyday and waiting for sympathy.
- Traffic
This one is valid if you are living in a crowded city with bad public transport. Normally it takes 45 minutes from work to home. In weekdays it takes 2 hours approximately. 2-3 hours a day in the traffic can turn you in to a monster.
Okay don’t get so depressed. Don’t stop dreaming. When your dreams are gone too you have nothing left to depend on. So Dream on.. Keep on Blogging.

7 reasons? Agreed! My job couldn’t be more like the movie Office Space. If there’s a problem or I need to make a correction I here it when I get to work from the 1st shift supervisor, then I’ll read a memo, then the Department Head comes in, THEN I here it from the 2nd shift supervisor, and finally from the supervisor who comes in halfway through the shift…. this is all after I’ve already heard it through the rumor mill!

Michael: I wish that I can have the comfort of working online someday
Alex: You just described how ugly things can be with stupid bureaucracy.

That’s why working at home or right near home, for yourself eliminates almost (if not all) of those reasons.
