I'm a network engineer who works for an evil corporation. It was a huge moral conflict for me to take this job, but I just run their network. Meh.

This isn't the fun, exciting kind of evil. It's the banal, soul-sucking kind of evil.

Wow, you and I are having the same crisis just on opposite sides of a kitchen.

I am a prep cook at a restaurant. Other than the pay is shit, hours are too early, and I'm doing stuff that's mind numbing boring at times, I love it.
On this tip, I bake in a bakery. Pay is low, but it is usually easy, rewarding work. Cried in the bathroom today though. Definitely feel the nearing 30 oh fuck thoughts.

I wish to some day live on a farm and make pedals on the side. It's a dream.

Those feels. I was a barista for nearly a decade. Became manager of the store, and hated being caught between the owners and the other employees.

:lol:

Evil is banal. At least the most real bits of it...being a supervillian is just rad. So much more fun to play villains.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.

Don't I know it. This job definitely made this scene hit home for me:

I've written hundreds of pages of research on that stupid book and all the hubaloo surrounding it. :facepalm: I've grown to hate it beyond reason.

Fun fact: this book and the events within and after is the sole reason most people talk about the Holocaust as much as they do. :facepalm: :idk:
