A 32-YEAR-OLD who would prefer travelling the world to an unfulfilling job has the delusion that makes her special.
Karen, not her real name or age, has explained to friends that, unlike them, she is not satisfied working nine-to-five in Swindon, and would actually prefer to sink her toes into the white sand of a Uruguayan beach.
Colleague Natasha, not her real name. said: “I was incredulous to hear that Kal isn’t into her call centre job and would rather be at a full moon party in Ko Pha-ngan. How individual and unique.
“It’s amazing that, while we’re all delightedly talking to customers about direct debits, a free spirit among us is dreaming of exotic locations and unhurried days of relaxation and whimsy.
“Or maybe it isn’t, and what Kal calls ‘travelling’ is just ‘being on holiday’ and we’d all f**king prefer that as would every prick in any job anywhere in the f**king country.
“How much of a twat do you have to be to think ‘time off somewhere nice’ is your calling in life? That it makes you stand out? I hope her next job’s shovelling shit in a basement.”
Karen said: “Also, unlike everyone else, I actually suffer from burnout.”
