15 Thoughts That Have Crossed Your Mind At Your Soul-Crushing Job

There are a few people out there that love their jobs, but for many of us they can be boring and mundane. If you are one of the unfortunate souls who debates quitting your job everyday, these thoughts have definitely crossed your mind.

Wishing You Could Say How You Really Feel

"Yes, I would OBVIOUSLY rather help you complete this stupid little task than be out enjoying my life."

You Daydream About Being Rich All Shift

First thing would be to buy the place you work at and burn it to the ground. Or you could fire that douche of a manager and let the employees run free.

Hiding Out And Contemplating Your Career Choices

Maybe you can just sell drugs for a little while. The judge might go easy on someone who tried it once or twice. Just joking: DO NOT SELL DRUGS!

When It’s Too Hard To Fake A Smile

It can be incredibly hard to listen to the millionth customer complaining to you about all of the faults of a company you have no control over. Just smile and nod your head, or you will inevitably get blamed for everything.

You Are Not The Same Person When You First Started

You are a hardened veteran now. Nothing will phase you. Sure, you used to be playful with the crap that walked in, but now you just stiff-arm it out of the way.

When You Realize You Need Money More Than Pride

This has to be the worst feeling ever: Knowing that you want to quit, but can't because you need money to get by.

When You Show Your True Feelings Toward Your Job

That's RIGHT, I can do WHATEVER I want during my only day off this week. HA.

Knowing This Is The Only Way Out Of Your Job

When faking your own death just to get a few more days off seems like a completely legitimate option.

This Constant Struggle Of Love And Hate

You hate your job so much, but the people there are cool AF. Why can't you all just quit and hang out together instead??

When You Can’t Even Fake It Anymore

When it comes to the last few minutes of your shift, it's no holds barred. Time to let it all out — as long as your boss isn't in earshot.

When You Really Want Your “Flair” To Match Your Feelings

The majority of the buttons and/or passive aggressive t-shirts you wish you could wear are inappropriate, but they perfectly describe your exact mood at the moment.

Every Little Thing Starts To Bother You

Sure, you can put on a happy face right now, but you know deep down, you're about to bust all of the gaskets. 

You Break Down Every Shift Into Hours

If you really think about it, that last hour is actually a mere four 15-minute segments. But, then again, it will only be another ten incredibly short hours until you have to be back at the grind again.

If It Isn’t Your Job, It’s Not Your Problem

You only get a 15 minute break during your long shift and you are going to enjoy it. Your coworkers are backed up with an influx of customers, but its not your problem for another few minutes.

When Your Shift Is Finally Over

You are finally able to be yourself after a long day of faking that nice personality. You can finally let out all the curse words you've been holding back all day — far, far away from your coworkers.
