The Corporate Ladder Of Hell

[ Corporate Ladder Of Hell ]

 

Dear Kip,

I graduated college just a year ago and although the economy is on the downturn I still landed a nice job with a reputable corporation. It bothers me though. My life changed so much since I finished school. I can’t even recognize myself at times. I knew what was waiting for me in the real world but I had no idea what it would feel like. Most of the disheartening thoughts enter my head when I think about my job. It’s almost depressing to get into my office sometimes because I am realizing that I’ll be doing this for about 40-something long years… every single day. And don’t get me wrong I don’t have too bad of a job but I almost feel like I’m wasting my time. Or… Maybe I just feel like I’m stuck up…

Dear JOB JAM,

You are going through a midlife crisis and there are only two things that can save you. You can either buy a new sports car or get married.

- If you’re not into sports cars then buy a tank.
- If you’re not into getting married then adopt a senior citizen.
 

You are in deep and you must act fast! Your midlife crisis condition can progress and develop into a disease that is more chronic, such as the Diogenes Syndrome.

Here are a few things to consider…
- If you buy a sports car… You’ll probably attract beautiful women and maybe even marry one.
- If you marry a rich woman… You can buy a sports car and quit your job.
 

It all makes sense right? Do you see a pattern? My advice is positive and optimistic. If you can’t afford a sports car or a tank, if you can’t get married, and if you can’t adopt a senior citizen… JUST STAY POSITIVE. If that’s all you have, then hang on to it and never let go.
 

PS: About you being stuck up… Hey, you said it! Not me…

 

Your midlife crisis will pass [hopefully], just hang on!

- Kip
