The Quote

Quote from Mr. Johnson in Desking

Gregory: You remember what you were talking about?
Mr. Johnson: Nope.
Gregory: [chuckles] About having a lot of jobs. You ever have an experience where you wanted a different job than the one you were at? You liked the one that you were at, but since it's not the one that you thought you wanted, you're a little conflicted?
Mr. Johnson: If you think I'm some sort of Black Yoda... Hmm, then correct you would be, Padawan. You got to be open for what life brings you. If I'd kept aiming for that one job I wanted so much when I was your age, you'd be looking at a very unfulfilled operations manager at Uncle Bradley's Baked Beans. Damn, I wanted that job.
Gregory: Must have had some good benefits.
Mr. Johnson: And a ladder straight to the top.
Gregory: Yeah.
Mr. Johnson: But, hey, without that rejection, I never would have found out the stuff that I love.
Gregory: Yeah, man. I really wanted to be principal. [chuckles] Then it didn't happen and... and now I think I'm mad.
Mr. Johnson: You got plenty of time, youngin'.
