And don't even get me started on ties, the way they suffocate you like a chain around your neck. When I see people commuting to work that's what I see, slaves tethered to each other by the neck, briefcase in hand, off to another day of repeatedly bashing themselves in the face for no comprehensible reason.

I might. Assuming I didn't need money, of course.Mouldywarp wrote:I mean, do you enjoy your job? Would you still want to do it if you weren't getting paid?

Â You really, really need to grow up, and fast. Â News flash: not everyone can do a job they'd happily do unpaid, because 90% of the jobs out there that have to be done by someone don't involve an awful lot of fun. Â Your little rant about ties being chains around people's necks is a pathetic, unoriginal notion dismissed as nonsense the first time it dribbled out of some idiot's mouth. Â Your assertion that you want to be self employed, not because you know what you want to do with your life but precisely because you really don't, betrays you as the kind of waster who is not done sponging off the rest of society quite yet, and would like to do it for another ten years while never quite getting around to starting any of the big ideas. Â A Prankster in the making. Â It's not going to be so long before you look at the people with the proper jobs you think so little of providing for their families and themselves and realise that your approach has gotten you nowhere. Â A battered, tattered copy of the Communist Manifesto in your back pocket that you haven't fully read or understood will not give you the comfortable life you want. Â Feel free to try to prove me wrong by making something of yourself without changing your current half-arsed approach.
