"You know what the weirdest part about having a job is?"
You know what the weirdest part about having a job is? You have to be there every day. Even on the days you don't feel like it.
Context
This line is spoken by Jessa Johansson, played by Jemima Kirke, in the TV show Girls (2012- ).
Girls is a comedy about the drama that faces a group of girlfriends living in New York. One of these girls is Jessa, and her self-obsession is a sight to behold. Part-time drug addict and full-time flake, Jessa always finds a way to get herself into a bad situation. This quote totally sums up her "whatever" attitude towards mainstream society and all the normal stuff it expects us to do.
Though, to be fair, she has a point. It is a pretty weird feeling showing up to work on those days you'd rather just curl up in bed. Alas…adulthood.
Where you've heard it
Maybe you saw it on Girls, or maybe you've heard it from your friend while you are lounging around on the weekend, commiserating about the fact that you'll have to go to work on Monday.
Pretentious Factor
If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.
People might think you're lazy, but they won't think you're pretentious.
