    I hate it, it's boring and I feel like I'm actively contributing to a design of society that I hate. Mostly because I am.
    My current plan is to work for a few more months to build up some savings and go find a new job doing something that I actually want to do. I want to attempt to make a difference somewhere, and I figure no matter what I end up with, it can't be worse than helping create more subdivisions.
