I would just like to get something off my chest. Now I try not to think of myself as better than anyone else. I know there are a couple of you that would try to argue this point but just hear me out for a second. I try to keep myself humble and down to earth. I don’t believe that I have a higher quality of the human existence than the other man does but could someone explain this to me. How is it that I, who is reading books on thermodynamics and theoretical physics and I who can follow and understand the path of a philosophical discussion and I who not only strives to but who enjoys the pursuit of a sharp, well formed mind. How is it that I find myself forced into a job where all my fellow employees have a limited range of body gestures and their English vernacular? For 4 to 7 hours a day all I see are high fives and the middle finger. In the same amount of time all I hear are the words ‘dude’, ‘fuck’ and ‘pussy’. Did I miss something? I guess it is really all my fault but in the other hundred applications I turned in did the interviewers not pick up on my personal attitude or beliefs. At the bookstores or at the coffeehouses where I personally thought I would fit in perfectly I was passed over. I guess I ended up in a place were physical labor overrules my mind and personality. It’s just that I feel out of place. I guess I am getting paid six dollars an hour not only for the time I take out of my day to work for this company but for me to quietly accept my general feelings of confusion and misplacement. I just couldn’t keep it in any more. So I share it with you.
