Is it exhausting being better than everyone else?


You have no idea. Not only do these plebs keep paying a few hundred a month for beers and pizza instead of giving it to me, they are constantly playing ping-pong in the same goddamn building. I don't want to work there so much that I am offended by the job description.

</sarcasm>

I actually don't want to work somewhere like that and I also have a family history, but it's not necessary to call it idiot-juice and act like these businesses have done me personal harm and these people are all stupid for enjoying it.


> act like these businesses have done me personal harm

Two of them have done me serious personal harm. I can quantify the financial harm (it's somewhere north of $200,000 at this point). I can't quantify the psychological harm, nor, at this point, can I quantify the stress-related physiological harm.


I'm sorry to hear that. I don't think that makes all such businesses evil, but now better understand your thoughts regarding them.
