    Office Space. But also, Been in all those. It’s weird to remember that your employer doesn’t actually want you to be productive and fix the problems to be profitable. They want to appear to be doing that. You’ll go further in your career by playing those games rather than working. I, unfortunately, like doing the work to keep the company going instead of the games, which is not as profitable for myself, but it keeps the company from dying even though they don’t realize it, and keeps them rich. Win? I’d rather be planting corn at this point.

      I’ll never understand this. I was born in a city. I never worked in a field. I hate physical exertion. Planting corn would be my definition of hell.

            No, very few. Sports being one of them. It took almost a year but now I like it, and miss it if I don’t get the chance to exercise. Getting a garmin watch helped me stay motivated, because I could see the progress I was making. I went from running 2.5km at 7min/km pace and almost dying to running 10km at 6min/km pace and feeling great, even being able to talk during. And I feel so, so much better in general. It’s like the difference between being hungover vs normal, but all the time.
