Lies, deceit, telling on each other, talking behind everyone's back, ignoring deadlines, begging for extension deadlines... And oh god, the "cool people" clique.

Yes, a cool people clique in a modern office enviornment. They were the attractive people who had nice hair, sharp jaw lines, and wouldn't hold the door for you, or hold the "open door" button in the elevator so that you could have enough time to get there, even while running. They also spend a lot of time talking shit, not getting anything done, and hitting on everyone who isn't interested in going out with such a shallow cunt.

I like working in an office. But I hate the kind of people who work office jobs. It was 100% worse than highschool the way people functioned in that place. Cliques? Cool people? Drama? Theft? It was like someone was secretely making one of those really unrealistic drama's that you'd see on Fox about "THE HARD PARTYING BIG SPENDING OFFICE WORKER".

The best people, however, where the ones who would try to be really intimidating to you. They were always guys, and always looked like they spent a little bit too much time getting ready in the morning. They'd get real close to you when they talked, and would walk around doing a constant lat spread all day long trying to look bigger. sexual harrasment was the norm in that place.

* Not everyone was a douche, just 90% of the people I encountered. One of them even openly admitted that he didn't get the job because of qualifications, he got it because the owner was his girlfriend's father




Fuck office jobs.
I always thought this is exactly how it would be. I've never had an office job in my life, but I've always figured the reality of the office environment was probably worse than high school. My "job" progression went like this: (seriously, I couldn't make this up)

Newspaper delivery
Grocery bagger
Fast food slave (Wendy's)
Warehouse stock boy (K-Mart)
Pizza Driver (Dominos)
7-Eleven Clerk
Commercial Radio Tower Installer (some were 180' ft in the air!)
Door-To-Door Light Bulb Salesman (yes, really)
Steel Mill Worker
Day Laborer (construction cleanup)
Forklift driver
Construction (Framing)
Construction (Drywall)
Mechanic
United States Military (Army)
Private Security
Bouncer (country bar)
Long Haul Trucker
AT&T Network Installer
Radio Announcer
Present Day: Adult Oriented Graphics Overlord



now I really feel fucking old.
