The Credentials - Stealerskeepers.

Maybe we should just up and quit, it’d be so much cheaper to submit that a life of taking shit adds up to what it is we want. But we don’t want the life they’ve got. ‘Cause it’s hollow and it’s bought, and we’re so much better off daydreaming our nights away and sleeping through what they have to say.

Like a lot of people I know, I work a lot of shitty jobs. I’ve worked at Wendy’s, Build-A-Bear Workshop(for five fucking years!), Gamestop, Walden Books(RIP) and now a ginormous retail chain that I don’t want to mention here because I feel like they are watching me. I would describe my time at most of these places as a “Kafka-esque bureaucracy”.  

I’m making this post today because it is Black Friday, a day most retail workers dread(along with every weekend). I had to work 12am to 8am because some fuckers wanted to shop. I chose this song because of the feeling of the feeling of meaninglessness I get when working. The thing about working in fast food, retail, dry cleaners etc. is that you contribute nothing of meaning to society. h8 it y’all

I’m pretty sure things will get better one day soon and I wont have to work in retail any more. I’m actually really good at it, but the experience is terrible. I just hate other people so much that it makes me completely miserable.

As an aside, the album this song is from, Goocher is totally awesome. It was the soundtrack to nearly my entire year. I feel like more people should like this band.
