My biggest fear isn't dying.

It's having to pay for the funeral.

I asked my manager if I could stop coming to meetings that could've been emails

and they said 'but then you'd miss out on the synergy and collaboration... and also your paycheck'

My company says 'we're a family here,'

which is weird because my actual family never expects me to work weekends for free.

I've been trying to afford a house in my area

but the only thing I can afford is a timeshare in my parents' basement
