fuck that shit

At work I just want to open my mouth and scream at the top of my lungs - quite often.  I deal with some of the STUPIDEST people I have ever encountered.  It just gets frustrating when everyone around you takes so much but gives absolutely nothing in return.  Unfortunately, I have just grown accustomed to this attitude.  It really is a bad attitude to have because it just eats away at you.

A coworker recently brought me an excerpt from a book that she "accidently" forgot to return to a book club.  I give whoever wrote this book full credit for the excerpt I'm about to snatch.  Entitled "Boring jobs can kill you", the blurb states "Researchers found that workers in undemanding jobs, with little control over what they do, are 35 percent more likely to drop dead in a given ten-year period than workers in more challenging positions.  Why? It seems to be the loss of control over your life.  Having some control over the decisions in your life helps decrease stress and the natural surge of chemicals that comes with it."  Isn't that the fucking harsh reality.  I am slowly realizing that my job isn't slightly boring, but HELLISHLY boring.
