Not depressed this time, just annoyed. Annoyed with the whole way life and society is structured in 2005…in London anyway.
\nWork: Why do we do it ? Most people would agree that we don’t like it, we don’t like most of the people there and we don’t do it out of choice. How crap is that ? We spend most of our waking lives in this crap situation. Even when it’s gorgeous and sunny out. Wouldn’t it be better to at least be with people we like ? Doing things we enjoy doing ?
\nOK we need to eat, but if we spent our days totally in search of food with our friends\/partners at least it would be something we couldn’t bitch about – unlike doing the accounts in some crappy corporate hell-hole.
\nAnd don’t even get me started on dress codes…is there anything more bizarrely weird than that ? Ties ?
\nA workmate was kind enough to answer my “three meals away from revolution” query (Heinlein – although I’ve yet to validate this) so I’ll ask you all for the answer to this:<\/p>\n
Why obscure shirt buttons ? Perhaps because they hint at the raw nudity<\/i> underneath ?
\nAlso, where do cotton trousers stop and jeans begin ? Why are they so offensive to business minded people ?
\nI’m concerned that my trouser\/jean combination may be offending some of the office workers at my place of employment so I have decided to invest in a posh suit so I can look “business professional”. And, as there is nothing in the dress code about it, I’ll paint the words “Fucking Rats’ Cocks” on the back in acrylic paint.
\nCan’t do this for the rest of my life. Anyone want to fund a slacker ?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
