Every day, after getting ready and making the short journey, we head to the dark, gloomy, and sad office where we are supposed to spend almost eight hours doing some of our best work.

The quality of your work is determined by the individual overseeing you, not by your title. It is up to them whether you will enjoy or resent your time spent working for the company. The boss is the one who rides to tremendous heights, sets rules, and keeps things under control.

In addition, after reading the entire story and having a few minutes left to spare, don't forget to read about the man who, despite decades of no communication, expects rent-free housing in his brother's new house!
