Nothing really happens.
At other jobs there is the illusion of things happening.
Each day a little different.
Something you can call "adventure" or
"heroism": maybe you "saved the day" today
at work
at your job
And even if
In the grand scheme of things
Your job affects
Literally nothing...
You are able to feel:
powerful
empowered
whole
useful
interesting
needed
necessary
[employed]
We are told our whole lives that our occupation "defines us"
And now...
When we sit at home and our children cry over a bad school day and homework is not done and you do not want to argue about whether or not she can watch Octonauts while writing the letter that is a result of her teacher handing out a "red card"
We do not
Feel
[powerful/empowered/useful/interesting/needed/necessary]
employed.
We feel.
Alone
Lonely
Sad
Verklempt
Frustrated
Useless
tired
tired
tired.
