Have you ever found yourself wrapped up in the fetal position, sucking your thumb, while a loved one desperately tries to pull on your suit jacket so you don’t miss your carpool?
Have you become so bored with work that you’ve started keeping sandwich crusts under your keyboard, just to see how many ants you can attract? Have you started thinking about work as simply…work?
Everyone needs a little career inspiration from time to time.
Whether it’s to reframe your workplace goals, or to give serious thought as to why you’re working a specific job in the first place. It’s nice to know that others have been there before, questioning, suffering, and wondering just as much as the rest of us sandwich-hoarding, ant-counting, schmucks.
So take a moment to read the “words about work” of those who have gone before, with grace and hilarity. Perhaps then we can take a step back, pull our thumbs out of our mouths, put on our suit jackets, and get into that carpool with pride.
