The client will always wait. These hustle addicts forget all the times they had to reschedule to accommodate ((wow 2 c and 2 m? Seems excessive)) others. Life happens and we work around it.

I only found that funny when watching reality shows like east coast choppers or something. We need to build this bike for our very busy customer Kid Rock. He needs it in 10 days, because he needs to ride his new bike then. Alright gang, time to work 16 hour days.

Then they keep hammering in how very important it is and he's not gonna pay if he gets it 2 hours too late. I know it's all just fake theatrical reality tv, but even as a child i never got the whole urgency they tried to push. All i thought was: so what, lol, fuck them

This is exactly it. When I was a bit younger I worked hard. I couldn't understand why others were not as hardworking as myself. Luckily I learned pretty early on that this is not the way. I was able to travel the world for a bit. After that, I took a leap of faith, quit my job, and just moved. After I quit my job, I started to think about how people would think about the work I did and what I left behind. And I realized, they probably won't think much about it at all. Some other person will come in and pick up where I left off. They will probably cuss me out because of some of the things I had to do. At the end of it, there is no legacy I will leave behind. No one will care. No one will remember.

These days, I am still pretty good at my job, but I don't really go above and beyond. So what if you get some award at your company. They don't mean anything. I go to work. Do my job and that's it. I try to chill and take it as easy as possible. I get paid to produce a certain amount of output and that is what I give. There are people that will still get rich off of the amount of work that I do, but I don't care. I have enough to get by in life to where I am content. Luckily, if I am ever in a situation like this post, I can tell them to go fuck themselves and quit.

its vertigo important.

Fair enough but I think the good of humanity should be taken broadly. First of all any kind of primary production is basically the base of the pyramid for everything else, if you make art or entertainment thats anything less than 100% cynical in nature you're contributing a tiny amount to the general wellbeing of a huge number of people. Really anyone that makes or provides anything people enjoy in some way. I'd say it includes basically everyone except the many layers of superfluous management.
