"The thing that seems unfair to me is the number of people that are expected to pretend they care about jobs they don’t care about. They should be allowed to fulfil their contract, but its never put in the contract “also you have to seem like you give a shit”. I just think that’s expecting too much. That’s why I really like living in a country with such poor customer service. I’ve got respect for that, you know? This is a horrible train, you’re tearing tickets, of course you’re in an awful mood. Why have a cheesy grin on your face? It’s either the sign of a liar or a moron."

A lot of people don’t care about their jobs and their service is artificially sweet.  But I like to hope that people can find joy in everything.  It might sound naive but you can choose the worldview that makes you happiest.  And what if that worldview is “I work on a train and every day I see secret landscapes that can only be seen from a train window and I get to interact with every single passenger and witness each person’s vision of what passes the time best ahh ahh trains!!!’, because I think that’s how I’d see the job.

Maybe I’m an idiot but I really don’t care.
