Reminds me of...

Saw a good web comic that's a bit depressing, but it reminded me of an old relationship and made me think about life.

I love how the comic can be interpreted in so many ways.
* You can take it at face value as someone struggling to get their dream job
* It might be that the dream job is so out of reach and ridiculous that it's akin to applying to be a walrus or lighthouse
* It could be seen as some guy's pride and a sense of entitlement (deserving more than a Wendy's job)
* Maybe it's idealism versus realism (some people take Wendy's job first because they're realistic, then apply to their dream jobs whereas this guy does the opposite)
* It could be the guy struggling against depression
* Or this might just be a crazy man with some serious mental issues

Hopefully he doesn't stay at Wendy's. I guess there comes a point in our lives when our day job becomes our only job and we stop looking for other things, whether for better or worse.

Side note: Neat technology with http://www.tineye.com/ where it allows you to do a reverse image search.
