I'm not dead. Do you care?

My soul was recently salted, dried, and shamelessly torn to pieces by corporate Israel. Now, while I am "physically" still alive, I am completely dead in every other respect.

What I'm trying to say is, I decided to become an adult and get a real office job. One of those shady hi-tech companies offered me employment me as a content writer. I took the job impulsively, because I wanted to work and because I am impulsive. I didn't realize what it would actually be like. Sitting in front of a computer for nine hours a day, writing mindless, eye-stabbing promotions is not anything like they described in the interview. I specifically remember the phrase "bar-mitzvah atmosphere" being tossed around. And let me tell you, that is not AT ALL what they meant. And excuse me, but I can only drink so much powdered french-vanilla coffee before exploding in diarrhea.

Nine hours... that's a really long time. I could do a lot of other way more interesting stuff in nine hours.

Here is a list of things I could do other than my job.

Watch 9 movies

Ask 9 people for my hand in marriage (I’d of course, politely decline).

And so on..
