Ugh. On the topic of hating having to work:
" You devote the bulk of every day for 30-40 years in the prime of your life to various companies to make them and their shareholders money and then you get ten years near the end of your life to do what you please. Sounds like a bad arrangement."
I HATE how relatable this is.
Assuming you live that long.
I always framed it this way- say your company called you and asked you to come in and perform one of your most hated work tasks for one hour at your normal hourly rate. Are you going in? One measly hour’s pay to do something you really hate? Most people are going to say no, even to 2 or 3 hours but there’s a certain number of hours that suddenly makes it perfectly ok.
Just saying it doesn’t make it “ok” it makes it more palatable. It is not ok lol
I was reading an article about geriatric prostitutes in Korea. Mostly it’s a phenomenon of children no longer caring for their elderly parents.
The old men are abandoned by their companies who demanded fervent zeal. They are empoverished, lonely, and have no purpose.
They frequent these elderly women who have been abandoned by their families. They charge basically nothing.
Not sure why I googled geriatric prostitution in the first place so don’t ask any questions.
The least surprising thing in your post is that you googled geriatric prostitutes.
Please I’m one sick dude. I do t need ideas to fill my time, especially when it essentially costs nothing. Spent all my money on other hobbies.
Sort of on topic but something that grinds my gears is companies that say they want entrepreneurial employees (all companies it seems).
Since I am entrepreneurial I won’t be working for you. And I don’t think you know what that word means.
A friend of mine sued his employer because they tried to make him do remodel construction on what was a retail job. He refused. They fired him. He sued. He won. I don’t remember what he won, but he won.
I’m looking after a legacy built in 1981 by fellow artists. My dept requires 2-3 people BEFORE the pandemic. We still do but costs of living + job satisfaction has made it that my equal in my dept (same position) quit last spring resulting in 2 people doing the work of 3… and now the admin of my dept quit.
So I’m legit on my own until we are able to re-hire… and i’ve delayed that by another 2 weeks as: 5 resumes. 5. I can’t risk hiring with only 5 fucking resumes!
I’m so tired, worn down, and loosing my abilities to bounce back up and cope but the bills still need to be paid.
Worst yet is I CAN’T LEAVE without a mega butterfly effect. No one else knows how to use half of the legacy equipment that artists travel the globe to access; those that did are either retired, dead, or don’t care no matter how much you pay em.
So, here I sit guarding a kingdom of 1000 workflows spanning over 100 years of technology all so it’s still accessible; but I’m loosing myself in the process and always have been tbh.
Or when they want “a rockstar”. Yeah that means they’re going to dog you out and expect you to smile through it.
“Damn right I drink and do drugs on the job.”
I’m sorry it sounds like a shitty situation.
There is a mini revolution (that will be quashed) called the great resignation.
Especially with forcing people back to the office. They are realizing it’s a swindle.
Especially in this city. I was speaking with an elderly guy from Sudbury who said Toronto is bullshit (not usual backwater hate, but a reasonable argument.) in Sudbury you can work 30 hours a week at the A&P and still have kids and a house and two cars etc.
You can’t expect people to work 60 hours a week to live below the poverty line. Not without them telling you to fuck yourself
A good one is amazon. I was reading that in certain warehouse facility towns they are running out of labour because they’ve burnt out the whole population. To the point where they now have ads on the radio promoting themselves as a great place to work. In a nice happy voice with positive radio cadence. You know what I mean. The Sullivan nod but with tone.
Fuck you Sullivan nod.
@Nagel420 see the post above this 
Missing a few tuning pegs, lol… btw, the first bassline I wanted to learn was the opening bass solo in sweet child o’ mine… 
Second was the solo in Show, Don’t Tell, Third was Billy Sheehans bassline for Addicted to that Rush… Don’t even get me started on Chris Squire and Yes. Least favorite bassist? Dokken. Something about repeating the same note for half the song bores me… I swear, its because of him that bassists get no respect
