****ing rednecks and their Protestant work ethic.

I'm a Catholic thank you very much.
And that's just a state of mind you are in. You don't have to be an unthinking cog to try to do a good job. It's actually much easier to fall into the slacker mentality. I did that for years and benefited nothing from it. Didn't improve my situation one bit.
You resent the employer and think that by resenting them silently you're maintaining some unspoken dignity. It's an illusion.
