How Apropos

Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter can be said to remedy anything.
- Kurt Vonnegut

The quote was on my homepage today. This comes after I realized this morning that my employers do not care that I’ve not had any sleep for three days because my entire household has come down with the flu. They do not care that I have medical issues that I need to take care of, they don’t want to hear about it. I am an employee that has been hired to perform a job and I am expected to do that job no matter what.

The law requires that they allow me to take care of my health and family. And no matter how much they pretend to care, I am an adult and therefore ultimately responsible for myself. Only my immediate family and close friends care about the problems that come after the hours that I work.

Current Mood: bitter
