I’m happy to go down with this Ship of Nighmares. Like Stink here, I am disgusted at the unavoidable blood sacrifices that make my way of life tick. I refuse to help an evil rose bloom, even if I live on the very same vine.
I will be singing praises and comforting my loved ones as this rampaging monster is brought down.
If Viktor Frankl can find solace and happiness in a Nazi concentration camp, I can manage to live what’s left of my life happily celebrating the end of this Evil Empire.
I feel like we’re in similar positions.
I’m thinking of putting minimal effort into finding a job, but not giving up. Then, finding ways to get out and connect with people more. Maybe a person I meet has a job, maybe I get a friend, maybe I get overwhelmed and go home early. But, I can’t keep trying the same stuff as usual, since it hasn’t really been working.
I’m in a similar position as OP, and I really appreciate what you wrote.
I tried to ‘escape’ by doing part time stuff and tried to start my own business, and it didn’t get off in time. Now, I have to go back, defeated, eventually desperate for a job, financially set back a year or two.
I know I’ve grown a lot as a person in the past 4 years, but I feel like I’m just getting older and going nowhere.
I left a position that I couldn’t take anymore. Got a part time thing to tide me over while I figure out what I want to do.
Time’s up, and my most realistic option is to go back to the meat grinder. If it’s any consolation, I found it most tolerable when I took the perspective of a fly-on-the-wall of this great Farce.
Can I take legal action reasonably?
I did not list him as a reference.
Edit: Thanks for replying. I’m mostly just pissed that this asshole is still fucking with my life. Sure other things influenced my life, but without this man, I’d be $50k richer at minimum, have a better career, and wouldn’t have almost died in a car accident (totaling the best goddamn car I’ve ever owned).
