several years ago i worked in an office. one night i left work to go to my car in the parking garage. as i was walking to my car i saw one of my bosses (mid 40s, married w/ 2 kids) just sitting in his car staring ahead. i stopped walking and watched him. it felt like an hour but for the next few minutes all he did was sit and stare while sitting in his car. i don't know what was going on in his life, as far as i could tell nothing serious as i would have heard, but just watching him do that was a wake up call for what office life does to a man. i wondered what was going through his head as he sat and stared while sitting in his car? thoughts of a shitty homelife? the futility of his existence? how miserable his life had become?

the funny thing was this boss didn´t give off a depressed vibe at work, it took me seeing him in a honest moment to get a glimpse into the sadness of his existence. yea, im glad i no longer work in an office..

Similar thing happened to me the other day at work. Very early before anyone else was in a director bigwig pulled up outside my window in a brand new aston martin. He then spent the next half an hour sat in his motor sobbing uncontrollably, part of it whilst on the phone. I saw the same bloke an hour later in a breakfast meeting holding court with some other corporate schlongs like he didn't have a care in the world.
