On schizophrenia:
“Why do the voices always tell them to kill, to hurt themselves, or to live under an overpass? Why don’t the auditory hallucinations say, take a bath, get a job, and pay your therapist?”
On idiot bosses in general:
“…The voice inside my head was saying, Find the nearest janitorial closet and lock yourself in before you kill him or jump out the window. Then a second inner voice joined the conversation. You know you’re in trouble when multiple inner voices appear.
Which is it? my rational inner voice demanded. Do I kill him, kill myself, or crawl under one of these desks? If I jump out the window first, I won’t kill him, and I won’t have that on my conscience for the final three seconds of my life. But would I really regret killing him as I fall to my own death? Or would the final, homicidal act of a desperate man be a gift to the world he leaves behind?”
...Yes. Just yes. This is my life.
