There was a building site next to our office and I stood at the window and watched the workers. A colleague walked up next to me. We stood there in silence for a while.
Me: “Sometimes I wonder if I should just fuck it all and become a gardener.”
Him: “Me too.”
Me: “I’m serious.”
Him: “Me too.”
We briefly looked at each other with expressionless faces. In silence we watched some more. Then we went to the next meeting.
Can relate. With colleagues we have daydreamed about opening a bar, a bakery, a hostel on the beach, yet we’re all still here, pressing buttons to make the lights on the screen change.

True story™.
I always thought about going to be a farmer. Then I watched some videos from farmers and realized they are also engineers.
I mean, that’s basically the main character’s arc in Office Space, right? Still rings true.
