The working, labor, wage earning class...

Can already see grocery food prices edging upwards

Went grocery shopping today, bought very few items, yet bill still was like over $60.00.

I can already see the prices of food edging upwards do to inflation and all those trillions of dollars unleashed this last year.

The working poor will feel it the most.

I've been off for a few days, and about to 'hit it' again, meaning get back out there, but as I sit on edge of bed, talk about feeling 'flat', meaning not motivated to go back out there.

I mean it's going to be a pretty easy shift, but feel there's so much I didn't get done when off.

But that's my fault, sometimes I feel the more time I'm given off, the more time I simply waste.

Again that's my fault, I've got to learn to better utilize time when I'm off.

I need some fire in my belly again, motivation, a spark.

When younger, it's the future that's spark, but as you age, and your future begins to shrink, not so much, so have to come up with other reasons to be motivated.

And when younger, if around the right people, or even when older, competition with your friends or family, friendly type of competition, can also give you that spark to improve self.

Or even just being in a relationship where held accountable, when you want to prove to another you can 'do it'.

But when single not always sure where that spark has to come from or comes from.

Anyways it's time to start preparing for work, I've been laying around enough today so far.

Good thing about this job is get to sleep in late, so if feel tired and unrested it's all in my mind only...for as goes the mood follows the body.

I think I may be off until Wed of next week, that's what schedule says, I just hope its not a mistake.

I'll double check tomorrow, but it would be cruel for me to think I'm off, go to bed later than usual, just to find out it was a mistake.

Just getting in, and the long work day did to me what it normally does, I come home with barely anything left in the tank.

Listened to talk radio all day, the news, while at work, lots of thoughts swirling through head, but when get home, nothing in the tank.

I need a change (who doesn't)

But now days 'change' isn't so easy anymore, not like years ago when could just move to another town, city, and start anew, not anymore with internet and all.

Now days, no matter where you go, your past follows you, for the good or bad.

Your credit, your rental history, job history, social media history, (if dumb enough to use your real name), driving record, criminal record, and any other record you have, all this in the press of a button, yet seems it takes people longer to make their minds up now days than in the past...when regional or local person was in charge.

Have to work one more day, than off for two, than work two, than off for one, then work one, I guess.

Add it all up and usually only work 3 days in any 7 day week, but I think they scramble it up week to week so we don't get a second job.

Cause if we had the same 4 days off every week, most would be very tempted to get a second job.

Seems the goal of industry, the world, is to keep us common people poor at any means nessisary.

Time to try to relax for a bit.

Just got off work, and feel so disheveled



It's like a feeling between here and there and nowhere.

In the past might have a drink or two or three, to transition into off time, but not tonight.

So have to just learn to transition from that yukky wore out work feeling to home time.

Maybe just lay down and be still for 10-15 minutes might work, just stillness, and let the ooze from work slowly dissipate away.

If you love your job, what you do, then I don't believe one should ever get off from that job feeling the way I do at mine, that means a change is needed, the question is when?

Am I willing to earn less, trade annoyances, work more days a week, but shorter days, for more after work joy?

We shall see.

I doubt it, cause at my age and stage in life, a job is a job, and my new goal is to earn passive income.

Really not trying to bounce over to another job, cause I've had enough jobs to know they're basically all the same, at least at what I do.

It would be like going from one nursing job to another, or from one plumbing job to another, what's the point if burned out on what you do, best to jump into something totally different or learn to earn passive income.

The day before going back to work, more specifically the night, I never feel as if had enough time off to get everything done I should have.

But to late, for tomorrow looms around the corner like a raging bull.



And I'm not ready for it, not at all.
Not feeling so well right now, but tomorrow doesn't care.

Tomorrow arrives regardless of how I feel.

Being older and not out of your mind wealthy really sucks, cause that's when more stuff starts going wrong.

The world is brutal.
We often forget how brutal the world is when we're OK, we become blind to how brutal the world really is.

Money simply keeps that brutality at bay, for some and for a while.

But start running low on money and you again quickly see how brutal the world is.

Corporations are brutal also, money is like their blood.

Why do you think you get so many spam calls now....I mean who takes those jobs?

You can only imagine what they're promised.

Sometimes I don't know what keeps me sane and walking a straight line.

One thing is this, I've been homeless before (lived out of van), and life is really no easier when poor and desolate.

You still gotta eat, your health still matters, you still gotta feel and be safe, and you still have your dignity.

So just giving up, allowing the system to take all your stuff, well, your problems won't end there.

Oh Calgone just take me away please.
