    Choose (Permie) Life

    Choose Life. Choose your cubicle, choose a 60 minute commute, 360 degree feedback, biannual appraisal and SMART objectives. Choose deadlines, reports and recording your time in 30 minute segments. Choose office politics, pointless meetings, backstabbing and working with idiots. Choose a psychopath boss, doing the needful, working to 70 for a worthless Defined Contribution pension. Choose 28 days off a year and Statutory Redundancy. Choose your future, choose life.

    But I chose not to choose life, I chose something else.
    My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.

              And CUK posters end up posting with idiots as well as working with them.
