This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I feel like I'm alone with this one, but if you have options, swallow your pride and take them. It's a paycheck, and can always lead to something better. I took a paycheck job at a retail store and I'm on the management team. Is it something to brag about? God no, it sucks. But my bills are paid and I can advance.

my brother is unemployed for 5 years now. but it's entirely because he's a cunt who won't take a lower paycheck or work for a company he thinks is 'below' him. he has more or less fucked himself because he thinks he should be only be hired for top level positions. the industry he is in also shrank a lot and he refuses to change industries.
