Interpretation
The line uses blunt humor to frame “happiness” as freedom from a particular kind of service work—waiting tables, bartending, or any job where one must cater to others’ immediate demands. Read more broadly, it expresses a desire for autonomy and dignity: waking each day without being compelled into exhausting, low-control labor. The phrasing “before I die” heightens the existential stakes, suggesting that daily work conditions shape one’s sense of a life well lived. Even if meant jokingly, the quote resonates as a critique of precarious labor and as a celebration of reaching a point where one’s time and energy are self-directed rather than spent meeting others’ appetites.
