True enough, I actually have three (3) songs on the album about how much I resent work.
Son, that kind of attitude won't get you the corner office. Jenkins here plays racquetball with the VP-Finance every Thursday morning and writes songs about how much he loves working weekends.
It's good to possess that kind of self-knowledge before you die.
I've been aware of it since 2004, still waiting to die.

It doesn't give my potential employers much confidence in me, but fuck 'em.

You're a good person to have on staff when symbolic cuts need to be made. I think I've served that purpose in a number of places.
I've made it through 3 layoffs at my org since 2020, I must be doing something right...
Sounds like someone wants to live a bit too much!
Sheer happenstance, I assure you
Yet every damned one on your employee evaluations specifically mentions "Stayed alive during the entire previous fiscal year. Tied for first in the company."

I'm the most alive one, somehow.
If it were a Twilight Zone episode, at the end you'd smile and decide you wanted to live, and then you'd get run over by a moped and knocked into a raging river.

THERE WAS TIME NOW
I want to reiterate that I am officially against that episode. The essence of most TZ—the best TZ—is of a kind of poetic justice, where the good eventually get their reward, the assholes get the shiv. But the Penguin wasn't doing anything wrong. All he wanted to do was be left alone to enjoy reading, hectored and harassed by a shew of a wife and a prick of a boss. And when he finally gets his chance, bad luck fucks him one last time. It's just a relentless picking-on-the-nerd episode. It bugs me that it's regarded as inner-circle TZ when it's just mean spirited.

I like the "no matter what you do you're fucked" message. I'm trying to think of another where someone who did nothing wrong gets screwed without a moral tale, I can't off the top of my head.
We reach the parts other combos cannot reach
We beach the beachheads other armies cannot beach
We speak the tongues other mouths cannot speak

Leaving aside whether you like that message—I don't care for it, but I can appreciate its appeal—it's just not a TZ theme. Maybe The Outer Limits did that shit, I dunno—I've only seen a handful of episodes.

I resent the idea that I could manage a cracker factory!
