cuttin_in_farm 05/17/18 9:47:39 AM #34:	EffectAndCause posted... To me, people who base their lives around their careers are the depressing ones. Youre talking pass each other. Either the work is satisfying. Or the people are. Youre going to be miserable if the work you do you dont enjoy AND you have no bond with coworkers. Some jobs suck while also limiting coworker interactions. Some office jobs are nonstop calls with little time to converse for example. The job sucks, and the job limits any potential enjoyment. I think thats the stigma people have of office jobs. A negative work environment makes a negative life in general. Its great you seem to have a good group at your job.

Ugh, you probably have no intentions of ever leaving your job or town, so it makes sense. It doesnt make sense for a person like me to get locked in a mortgage because Im single and Im an opportunist when it comes to jobs. It must suck to have to live in an area thats so undesirable.
