At the software store I worked at, I had to sweep the floor. Wash the windows. Open the store, then do all the sales. The owner and his partner NEVER were out there hustling. Never trying to talk to customers. Never even trying to see if he could help me w sales. Only thing I remember him telling me is that I needed to buy nicer suits, instead of the 2 polyester suits I had and the used dress shirts and ties I bought. 9 months in I got fired. Not long after, the store closed. Taught me a HUGE lesson If a ceo/manager doesn’t believe in their products enough to live to sell them, they are toast. No chance they survive. It holds true to this day.

It’s an example. A metaphor. Sometimes you take a job, not because you like it , or it pays enough. You take the fucking shitty job because it pays more than not having a job. You learn everything you can while working that job, in hope of maybe being promoted or preparing for your next job. Or you sit on your ass. Collect unemployment as long as you can and do whatever. We all make choices. Some people are willing to grind. Some are not. Just the way it is.
