“All the bosses care about is getting the job done. So if you have a good work ethic, the work falls on you more.

I abhor violence, but I was having dreams where the boss would criticize my work and my hands would go around his neck. So I had to learn to let it go. I used to really care about the job. But I’ve had to just start viewing it as a paycheck.”
