37. Polite euphemism for being one of the "screws".
Sorry, for some reason I thought you were the late night DUer who was a prison guard. If you were, I was going to suggest that instead of viewing the behaviors that you witness at your job as the ultimate purpose of human existence (i.e. competition), rather view those behaviors as the negative result of human competition. Paradigm shift, I know, but I think you should try it.

When I get hungry, I cook myself dinner. The only competition is between my rescue dogs as they beg for scraps. They have an excuse. They are animals.

I never said I did not compete. I said it is not the purpose of my existence and I suggset that viewing life as a giant competiton is likely unhealthy on both a personal and societal level. It is just too gotdamn stressful and life is too gotdamn short.
