Who Wants to be a Manager?

Like the rest of the planet you started off your career at the bottom of the food chain. Everyone around in the office knew you weren't expected to accomplish anything imprtant in the first few days or even months. You were paid to just exist and crib - which you did in plenty. You cribbed to other low life around you and complained that you were underpaid and overworked even while you took long coffee breaks and longer lunch breaks. You complained how unfair life was treating you because you were doing all the grunge work while your manager got all the attention.
