French term or phrase: boulot / bôite
Se trata de una especie de “monólogo interior” de un hombre bastante deprimido ante la vida, con un lenguaje muy coloquial y de la calle.
"Je suis tellement bordélique que je passe mes soirées au boulot mais, en même temps, c’est tout bénef’ pour la boîte ; les contrats rentrent.
Résultat ? Je vais demander à mon boss de me payer un coach pour mieux m’organiser. Et s’il refuse, je le quitte".

agree  Brigitte Gaudin: Me temo que no hay equivalencia para "boîte" en este sentido. Además, me parece que "curro" puede referirse tanto a "boulot" como a "boîte".
