yeh, but eventually the pain knumbs, and you settle into the luke-warm reality of a semi-indignant existance.
then it all feels much better, because whilst you know that work is shit, you're also aware that you are insignificant - and as such whatever you do will not make a difference anyway.
This is a key milestone, for once you reach this enlightenment you realise that you might as well not try anyway, because no matter what you do, or moreover - what you dont, no one will care.
