But I love my job. I own a small company that builds pianos. Even if I wasn't getting paid, I'd still build pianos.

The fact that the product happens to be books doesn't really change anything. The only literary benefit is getting damaged books for cheap every now and then. Last time I paid 1€ for Critique of Pure Reason that was in prime condition but the paper cover had been torn.

Well, it was around the time of 50 shades of grey. So pallets and pallets of that. Otherwise also mostly middle aged women tier novels, a lot of self-help, cookbooks and travel books. A lot of Harry Potter and other kid stuff, a bunch of textbooks, and a small amount of literature, mostly affordable paperbacks of well known classics.

Once in a while I got excited when someone ordered Aristotle or something but then you realise a dozen people did at the same time so it's just for a course. But you do get the rare gems like some person ordering Kant or Hegel or Kierkegaard or a specific part of Nietzsche's nachlass or something. You know people don't buy stuff like that on a whim.

>> No.5756477

Why is that a problem?

Modern work life, at least in America, demands immersion. The 40 hour work week is a myth. If you put in the agreed upon 9 to 5 and nothing more, management will consider you a slacker. You have to be on call, available to text, checking your email, driving to god knows where. and for what? The potential that you might get slightly more money and MORE work hours.

I prefer to make work a separate part of myself. It is nothing more than a fulfillment of my social contract. I have to do it. I also have low expectations for my living situation so money means nothing. I have no problem with putting in minimum effort for minimum return. Minimum is all companies are willing to give you, so why put in maximum effort on your part? The spiritual fulfillment of a job well done?

Do your day job and pursue your passions.

I don't understand.

It's not that hard.
Do well in school, and you will be better. Day job = career you enjoy and wanted and can make a life with.

Why do lazy fucks always complain about their situation when they know exactly why they are where they are...laziness. Stupidity. Idiots raised by single mothers with no fatherly influence.

Stop thinking you are special because you believe you hold some higher intellectual ideals about the world and how it should be, everyone thinks just like you, you are so fucking average it's painful. How do I know? You're on 4chan you stupid cunt.

So much this.

I think this is part of a bigger issue in society (at least in America) that's related to things like drug liberalization/legalization, gay marriage, and the general "outrage culture" of social media: people seem to have trouble accepting that they are not in complete control of their environment. People are so wrapped up in what other people do that they don't consider why they care so much.

I suppose there are reasons to care, though, such as the welfare debate.
