    Does this festering, cancerous tumor of a website calling itself Newsweek name the bill anywhere so I can read it?

    As to lunch, I gave up on eating lunch years ago. I started timing it. Got it down to eleven minutes and still couldn’t inhale food in peace without some urgent fucking thing coming up, so I abandoned the practice.

    I used to get shit on for eating lunch.

    Then I got shit on for not eating lunch.

    Still get shit on for doing too many hours, unless I shorten my days and get shit on for not doing enough hours.

    I have also been shit on for taking vacation, then shit on for not taking vacation.

    There have even been days when I’ve been on the verge of pissing myself because the act of trying to get from my desk to the restroom is fraught with perilous urgencies that need attending to right the fuck now. (Nothing in my line of work needs that immediacy. I’m not an EMT for fucks sake)

    There is no correct way for me to do anything.

    I’m so, so tired and am not old enough or wealthy enough to say fuck this shit, and I’m down to one marketable skill where the conditions mentioned above will be the same anywhere I go.

    Nonetheless, I assume this bill is for hourly wage workers, in which case I say fuck the man, eat your lunch.
