“is ur whole former life so completely wiped from your mind… that you can’t remember how one must fight to get to the top, especially when one begins at the bottom? how one must take advantage of everything that offers any hope whatsoever?”

and also “but in things of that kind the castle moves slowly, and the worst of it is that one never knows what this slowness means; it can mean that the matter’s being considered, but it can also mean that it hasn’t yet been taken up, that Barbara’s for instance is still on probation, and in the long run it can also mean that the whole thing has been settled, that for some reason or other the promise has been cancelled, and that barnabas will never get his suit. one can never find out exactly what is happening, or only a long time afterwards. we have a saying here, perhaps you’ve heard it: official decisions are as shy as young girls” this is so real to how office jobs work i need to send this to my coworker. sort of how i feel when i send my coworkers the emoji of the guy banging his head against the wall on teams
