You can tell yourself that, but you know you aren't. I'm not sure how to convince you that except by telling you that you're not. I think I can start by telling you that I feel the same way sometimes.

"...Look, these past two years haven't been the brightest for me either. I've been working here for 8 months, right? Every day I wake up, shower, get dressed, go to work, and endlessly code some bullshit for a company I don't even give two fucks about. I get home, do nothing with Benson all day and when I go to bed I think to myself 'I'm going to quit tomorrow.'"
![[Image: 768.png]](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/24237779/Office%20Adventures/768.png)
"I never do that. And I was never happy. Maybe grateful that the day was over, I guess. But I would always go back to work the next day dreading it. I was stuck in a loop. It's a personal hell, doing the same thing every day and never finding happiness out of it. At the very least, I had the positive thought of quitting, and I held onto that until I finally did it.
![[Image: 769.png]](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/24237779/Office%20Adventures/769.png)
"And today I quit. Or, I was going to quit, until you showed up from nowhere. And I decided that I was going to quit with you. Not out of any sort of selfishness, but because I don't want you to be subjected to the same personal hell I faced for the past 8 months. You're better than that. You deserve more. I don't think anyone should be subjected to doing something they don't like for the rest of their life just so they can get by. It's a form of torture, really. You're just driving yourself into madness, you know? I think you can do better for yourself, but first you have to have confidence in yourself and be someone.
![[Image: 770.png]](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/24237779/Office%20Adventures/770.png)
"Really, I think you're looking at your past mistakes and seeing them as a bad thing. You know, instead of being glad that you've overcome those obstacles, you dwell in them. I think that's it. And when you were in college? You couldn't handle the work because you didn't like it. You didn't really enjoy what you were doing but you were aware that you could do better. You were caught in that same loop, actually. And you might have been these past two years. And I think what we can do, together, is quit. I think both of us can get out of that loop and do what we really want to do...whatever that is. But first we have to take that first step. But most importantly, you should know that you're not a failure. You're not worthless and you know it. And I know that.

The two continue to have a conversation behind you.
"Yeah! I just had the idea to do so since we hafta wear this dress shirt and tie. I thought it was a pretty good idea. I have some hair dye. I think it worked, too!"

"Oh, I really like colors. Lots of colors! Lots of colorful stuff. This outfit is very boring and not colorful, so I thought I could try making it more colorful while still being a dress shirt and tie!"

"Oh, I have to wear a skirt. I don't like skirts, they're annoying. But apparently I have to wear one. Formality, I guess. Pants are easier to wear."
"Oh, I love skirts! I'd love to tie-dye your skirt, actually!"
"...Is that so?"
