I could not work for a living and be fine with it
Friday, May 16, 2008
Not exactly a very noteworthy position I guess. Who actually wants to work for a living anyways? Whoever answers 'Me' to that question is either a liar or someone I don't care to know. Probably both.
I have had some funny things going on lately work-wise, and even though I am on the 'time-off' part of my swing shift schedule, I find myself thinking way too much about work. Hence the post about it.
2 weeks ago I turned down a job promotion that would have meant moving from shift work to days for a little bit more money than I make now. And I don't regret that move a bit, because after working really fucked up hours on shifts for the last 2 years, or working for a company on Vegas time for a year or so before that, it turns out that I don't much care for the 9 to 5 anymore. I am not sure that I can say I ever did, come to think about it.
And last week I had a job interview for the contract gig I currently have. I went in thinking I didn't even want the job, cause I make more money on contract, but as it turns out, I kicked all kinds of ass in the interview, and I realized afterwards that I really do want to keep doing this job for the foreseeable future. Which likely means I won't end up getting it, but there it is anyway.
Where the hell is this post going again? Oh yeah, all this thinking about work, and I have come to the realization that I would be quite cool with not spending the bulk of my time doing something for someone else just so that I can sneak in a few minutes every once in awhile to whine about it on my blog. So if I have some long-lost wealthy relative out there who's only got me in the will, no offense, but can you go ahead and die already so I can focus on my retirement?
