    Yeah no, I’m not doing some scrubby fuckin low level janitorial/service/retail fuckshit for me; my degree is in fucking Computer Science. It’s not self-growth, it’s “my executives are exploiting me, stealing my labor, and parasitizing my family’s time”; so I’m going to deliberately minimize the labor that can be stolen from me to the lowest, sub-decimal degree possible. You don’t get any extra out of me til I’m doing what I want, when I want, and getting fucking well compensated for my time spent.

    And, let me guess, despite that last statement, “I think I need higher pay. I said I want higher pay. I work harder hoping for higher pay.” doesn’t count.
