for the paycheck

The typical daily grind.  You get up earlier than you want to.  Put on clothes you would rather use as a car wash rag. Then spend the next 8 hours staring at the clock.  All in the name of....the mighy PAYCHECK.

What a miserable existance this person must have.  OH WAIT!!! I think i just described most people that have a job.  Yeah its still miserable.

How do so many people get reduced to the common denominator of going through 40+ hours of their week for no other reason than that small (and yes it is small when you think about it) satisfaction of opening their paycheck on payday? 

Just about everyone i work with falls into this catagory.  They whine and complain and dont give a shit about anyone else or even the job they choose to do.  They do it for the paycheck.  They showup for the paycheck.  There is no sense of team, or doing a good job, or enjoyment of the job they have chosen.  Now ive had my moments where i did what i had to do and the times where i definately fit into this, but never with the mentality that it was where i was stuck for the long term.  Blinded by a decent paycheck these people....

.................REALLY NEED TO SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!

you would think they have it SO bad.  They tell me to give it time and i will be just like them.  No. I dont think so.  i couldnt be that pathetic if i tried.  well maybe if i tried real hard. 

Why take a job dealing with customers when you hate dealing with customers?

Why take a job where being a team is how it works when you are a selfish piece of shit?

Why take a job that requires working outside in extreme heat when you are a pussy and cant hack it?

Need i go on?  Do not misunderstand.  The paycheck is a powerful motivator and incentive.  But if this is the beginning and end of ones motivation in life to go to work at your job for the long term, id rather you spare me and fall off a cliff.

"oh but some of us have kids and bills and stuff to take care of"

lets look at the bills part, if you are going to take a job you dont like, for the paycheck, then use that paycheck to create bills rather than work towards a job you might like or at least want to be a proactive part of for something more than the paycheck then thats your own damn fault and that still falls under the catagory of....STFU!!!

then there are kids.  exspensive bundles of joy they are....at least until some of them start to talk...or walk...then maybe not so much joy.  yeah im not sure how i want to tackle this one.  So guess what?  im just not going to becasue i dont feel like it.

There is 168 hours in a week.  The typical person will work 40 of these and assuming this person sleeps around 7 hours a day that leaves 79 of those hours that you are doing something other than working.  thats less than half and if you are one of these people im talking about that means you are only potenially not a whiny bitch less than half the week.  But we all know thats not true.  Why?  Well what kind of a world would we live in if people didnt go home after work and continue bitching to their significant other?  I mean thats like a rule right? 

In the end these kinds of people simply need to STFU or spew their bullshit where i cant hear it.
