At work

Day 8

Icy water thundering from overhead
hammering my shoulders
an endless torrent
stress


Before I started working at a startup I had spent most of my professional career in large corporations.

I hated them. (yeah I'm talking to you cube farm)

I hated the long hours, the miserable pay and the endless off hours calls. Those cubicles that became open spaces which were somehow worse. I worked like that from the mid 2000's to last year.

I thought the reason I stayed was 'stability', but more I ruminate on that im not so sure. That stability was seductive. I mean, I used that stability to create a family. I used that stability to grow my resume. I was to those large orgs a parasite providing.

I am selfish and scared.
