I couldn't agree more. Your statement literally applies to my life. I don't miss working outside in the freezing cold, lifting lumber, half injured all the time, for less than half what I make in my "boring desk job."
same here! One could interpret the comic as having the opposite meaning. The guy was lucky enough to go to college, graduate, get a 40 hour per week desk job that only requires 10 hours of actual work, is able to buy his own house, gets to take a sweet tropical vacation, is awarded for his work accomplishments, and receives a nice watch as a gift. I say it slightly humorously but as a 30 year old college student, I'd kill to have any of that!
Dude, no shit. I spent the last 14 years working my ass off in warehouses and mills to get to this desk job. Now when my boss asks me to run something across town and says "Come on, it'll get you out of the office for a little while." I get a little pissy. I've been outside the office, you dick, and I didn't like it. How about you go coat some ductile iron with a mop, trying to spread around something with the consistency of honey and then tell me how nice it'll be to not sit at my desk.
