All my mates off shagging one another stupid on cheap Spanish holidays, ski-ing, trekking around the world and generally enjoying themselves while I was laughing at them convincing management that I would work myself to death to climb the greasy pole.
When I saw the light, and realised management could not care less if you do kill yourself for their benefit, and that I had wasted ten years of my life, my world fell apart.
