I was doing what I hated. Working a job. Listening to a boss yell at me when he had a bad day with his wife. Working with people that I wouldn’t be friends with unless I had to sit next to them in a cubicle. Doing things that were the opposite of everything I dreamed […]

I had a boss who would push his glasses down on his nose when I walked in and look at me above the glasses. Like I was not worth focusing on. Like I was half a human. He hated me. Your boss hates you also. HATES. He takes your hard work and pretends, to his […]
