Well, I don’t have that luxury ! I’m old, I do have a family to support, and I’ve been out of work for 6 months at a time recently, under financial pressure.

I still feel the same way.

If the threat of becoming homeless and/or starving to death isn't enough to warrant some degree of emotional perturbation on your part, then I don't know what is. You may be taking the whole stoicism thing too far.

I don't think anyone care too much about their job as you put it in your first message.

Even the article itself: they care about "having a job", not having that specific job. And they care about it in order to "make a living".
