How to: Survive an Office Job
By: Red Date: May 16, 2013, 3:59 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
You did it. You got hired at exactly the place you didn't want
to be hired. Get ready for early mornings filled with tear
tinted coffee and feeling sorry for yourself.
1. Ask Yourself: Is it worth it?
If you're being paid a good amount, and you actually find what
you're doing fairly interesting, good for you! Now just keep up
that attitude for a good couple years and maybe you can just
move in to your cubical. As an office worker, you may find that
it's better to identify yourself more prominently with what you
do outside of work. If you have a hobby that you can really dig
(like gardening), then maybe tell people you're a gardener
instead of whatever it is you do every day from 9 to 5.
2. What are you doing meanwhile?
As most people, you work to get money to consume things with
that money later, or pay off* the crushing debt you're in. The
point is that you need to find something that will keep you
happy and distracted from the endless monotony that will be the
next 50** years of your life. A lot of people start a
relationship, have children, and hopefully move up the corperate
ladder, but what's the point in that if you'll never be CEO?
You'll work several years, until you're old and on your 50th
anniversary at the company, you'll get a nice watch as a gift,
and then you'll die. You just spent a lifetime putting someone
else's idea ahead of your own, so you better have something
interesting you've done in your spare time to make up for it.
*It'll never happen.
**If your boss tells you "Don't forget, you're here forever!"
3. Keep your eyes on the prize.
Make sure you have something big to work towards. The end better
justify the means, I mean. I know that I work to quit. My goal
is to get enough money saved up so I can quit my job and pursue
music full time, but at the moment, I have no money to buy
equipment, so that comes first. After I get what I need and I've
established a firm foothold in my spare time, I'll turn in my
letter of resignation and hit the road - err, that's the idea
anyhow.
4. Don't be afraid to disappoint people and/or be disappointed
It happens all the time.*
*Especially if the person disappointing you has kids.
5. Find out how to waste as much time without people noticing
If you were a amateur procrastinator in school, now you can be a
professional procrastinator! Do as little work as possible as
long as you don't get fired.
6. Die
You don't actually survive office jobs the whole thing was a
joke.
