You will try to improve me, Captain, but I tell you it cannot be done. I am resigned to moral apathy and corporeal decrepitude, and have done with projections.

About This Quote

Being in your job for over fifteen years, you must have experienced the agony of customer apathy. You must have faced the despair of working with incompetent people who have no idea what they are doing. You must have seen some terrible things that people did to their own bodies. You must have felt the hopelessness of being stuck in a job that you hate while still having to come to work every day.

And, on top of the bad things, the worst part is when nobody wants to talk to you. You are left feeling isolated, lonely, and on the verge of losing your mind. If you are reading this post, I am sure you can relate to my story at least a little bit.

I encourage you to read further on to see what I mean by “corporeal decrepitude” and even “moral apathy”.
