The Factory, Hiroko Oyamada
I want to work, and I'm lucky enough to be able to. Of course, I'm grateful for that. How could I not be? Except, well, I don't want to work. I really don't. Life has nothing to do with work, and work has no real bearing on life. I used to think they were connected, but now I can see there's just no way I thought I'd been giving
it everything I had, but what I thought was my everything had no real value. Just look at the way I am now. That's proof. I don't want to work. I don't, but what else am I doing with my life?

>I always started a job with the feeling that I’d soon quit or be fired, and this gave me a relaxed manner that was mistaken for intelligence or some secret power.
>The thought of sitting in front of a man behind a desk and telling him that I wanted a job, that I was qualified for a job, was too much for me. Frankly, I was horrified by life, at what a man had to do simply in order to eat, sleep, and keep himself clothed. So I stayed in bed and drank.
