Wait till you wakeup one day and can barely walk, for no apparent reason.

Or you have an injury that doesn’t want to heal, and docs are scratching their heads, but won’t give you pain meds, or even steroids that you’ve seen help this issue in the past.

Or you get fired for nothing you’ve done.

Or the business you work for goes belly up.

Or a crazy person in your life threatens to kill you, so you have to be alert all the time.

Or you’re in so much pain, constantly, that you can’t even think.

Ffs, have the tiniest goddamn sliver of class people.

Ffs the open office bullshit.

I just reserve meeting rooms for myself every day.
