In today's environment, you really are a slave! You work 8 to 10 hours a day (if you want to get ahead or survive), you sleep 8 hours a day (hopefully), and you recover and then you start all over again for the next shift/day at the office. Repeat and rinse, Repeat and rinse, Repeat and rinse and on and on.
After all, maybe slaves had it better.

I was born in the late ‘80’s, and today I was called a, “very dilligent, honest worker” by one of the pharmacists.

IF they are NOT working-—there is NO ROUTINE
