Sucks doesn't it?.

'Work sucks but i need the bucks'. How many times have you had that statement run through your mind?. How many times have you thought to yourself i can do better than this and almost immediately ask yourself how (in a defeatist manner). I am not here to seek anyone's sympathy neither am i looking to attract perrenial pessimists (but if that is the audience i get, well in true Nigerian fashion i cannot complain). But my job really sucks. How did i get here? I am still wondering myself. You never think you would end up in such a place. As a child one could not wait to be and adult. By the time you became a teenager you could not wait to get into the university and away from your parents(even though mummy and daddy still provide everything for you). At university you could not wait to get into the labour market and become your own provider, make all that paper and more, have a beautiful apartment, car and girl/boyfriend (depending on which way you swing these days) to start,travel to all the exotic places you grew up hearing about with your special someone or not,be accomplished, married to your soulmate who looks like something out of a beauty magazine, with 2-3 kids(preferable more boys than girls because you do not want your daughters to suffer the same cruelty you metted out to girls) or for the more adventurous never marry and be like your dream perennial bachelor/ Spinster. This in reality only happens to a tiny fraction of people. And i'm not one of them. Reality bites, and when it does, It bites hard.
