For the sake of my butt, I’m hanging it up

I think I can finally hang up the suit for good. I can’t say enough of how much I hate wearing it. Come to think of it, the reason for the dislike is more than just because it’s a piece of stiff and boring attire. I just plain detest the association with the corporate world!

I suppose it’s all fine if you do it on an ongoing, daily basis. Maybe it isn’t particularly pleasant on somedays but for the most part of the time, you’ll just grit your teeth, drift along and find your bearing somewhat. But for me now, having already extricated myself out of that grey grim world, this occasional association has become a lot more painful, even if it isn’t exceptionally unpleasant. Putting on a different persona, smiling unnecessarily and making small talks are all too much for me now!

Sometimes we think that the tangibles can compensate for the pains we go through. Well, it’s a lot easier if the pains are just pure physical discomfort. But I just don’t see tangibles easing off my emotional pain. Nah. Not even when I simply describe it as a pain in the butt.
