Text of the day: “You work now you idiot… you used to work in a factory and now you work in a taxi office… still work… and in the factory you were just a worker… here you’re a manager… you wouldn’t have been a manager in the factory… you’d be breaking your back on the shop floor… in all that dirt and dust.” (Raf in Ishy Din’s Approaching Empty)
