It's a ridiculous situation, where you are left feeling like shit. and when you get the job you realize it is not you but the company is the shit

I feel like I was born at the worst point in time.

At least in WWI I'd have gotten 4Fs and could off myself without any shame. In this life it's like, shameful to give up but also impossible to get a scrap of enjoyment out of it.

Why do you care if it's shameful, you'll be dead

What a weird thing to worry about
