Rant

In the spirit of my beloved, I have a few thoughts about life I'd like to share. While these don't relate directly to running, they do wander into my thoughts on the trail. They also make me love the sport that much more.

Things I've learned from working at a "real job":

1. People are stupid. This is self-explanatory.
2. People are lazy and helpless. If they can't figure something out right away, they don't take the initiative to look further. They just find someone else to do it for them.
3. People generally have poor hygiene. Ewww.
4. The American workforce may be at the office for 40 hours a week, but they do about 4 real hours worth of work. The rest of the time is spent gossiping or fucking around on the Internet.
5. There are few jobs that require actual skill and brainpower; those that do generally require a lot of training and offer little in the way of pay and benefits.
6. People at the top are not necessarily the smartest or the most motivated. They are either well-connected or ass-kissers.
7. There are a few gems out there. Make friends with them and say "thank you" a lot.

There are probably lots more. Do you have any to add?
