The further I'm removed from Job, the more freer I feel  The further I'm removed from my job, my work situation, the more freer and happier I begin to feel, it's like my inner spirit just comes alive again. When I'm at my job, it's just the opposite, my inner spirit begins to fade and wither. If I were old enough to retire, I would, I see no value in day to day work anymore. Not for me anyways, I'm just to different. I wish I had made better career choices when younger. That aside, I live through my art, my art is always telling a story about who and what I am.

I've been off for like 5 days, wow, and still get paid normal work week wage, it's just how the schedule went down.
But just like that those 5 days are gone.
Having that much time off actually is having opposite effect on me, cause now getting complaciant...I mean that's what wealthy people strive for, is time off, well I'm getting that time off and not wealthy, so am relaxed, and when relaxed you feel content or more so.
You don't notice you're 'poor' when relaxed and well fed.
Maybe the whole idea of being poor is an invented evil term, that makes you strive for more than you need to be happy, and makes you work harder at job than should until your health is gone.
I don't know, but do know society makes being 'poor' a bad thing, an excuse to act up.
But a sane person knows being poor is just a state of mind.

Guy I work for says changes are coming to the company I work for, but will those changes benefit me?
Companies usually only change when it benefits them, not 'you' the employee.
All I care about is will those changes make my life more or less enjoyable.

When poor all the time, checking your checking account balance is a meaningless depressing activity
Cause either balance stays the same, no matter how hard you work, or it drops.
Or worse, you discover someone hacked account and stole it all.

About to 'hit it', that means about to dive back out there into the 'work place' and jungle of life and chaos and useless shuffling around...none of which soothes my spirit anymore.
When younger I was raised in paradise and didn't even know it...I wanted more, like a lot of us do when younger, the cities seemed cooler, more trendy, ect.
I think maybe the cities, when younger, is where you go to possibly date and meet people outside your small town, but sooner or later you'll usually want to return to where your identity formed.
To be honest, if I went back to where I"m from, I'd feel out of place for a while cause haven't been there for so long.
But if had the capitol, would do so tomorrow, quit job and never look back.
Oh well, time to hit it.

I think I'm going back to 'pre loaded' debit/credit cards to pay bills with I think I'm going to go back to using pre paid debit/credit cards to pay bills with...the reasons should be obvious...cause odd how when paying bill, before even spell full name 'template' does it for you which means they're spying on you...creepy...sorry, just creepy. So will just go back to paying cash for like pre paid phone card payments and debit/credit card payment type stuff...just tired of these noisy, peeping tom tech types spying on you all the time...it's sick when you think about it. www.card.com/Not saying above link is best way to go, but, but, am saying now days, probably best to not use actual card linked to real bank account when paying bills online or elsewhere. Do as you please though.

Ye, in the past, or middle past, got to proud to use like 're boost' cards, felt that was beneath me...but now, in this age, when even President of the United States phone calls tapped, I realize that secrecy is safety...so will go back to using re-boost cards to recharge phone, and other pre paid cards, to pay bills with.
You may be good, but doesn't mean others are.

It sucks when say, you know you have to work 'tomorrow', but then get really caught up in something, things, as if it's the weekend, and get carried away with emotions, dreaming, a beer or two, but all the time you know you have to go to bed, so have energy for the next day...it's just a bum feeling when you get into 'time off', as if the weekend, but all it is is a weekday.
Well for me, one more day, then get like 4 off, but still, it's as if I've started my weekend one day to soon..
Now tomorrow will seem hellish, or at least the waking up part.
Tonight felt like a miniture weekend moment for me.
Such a contrast between how tomorrow will be, oh well, time to shut down and go to bed, yuk.
I so wish I had tomorrow off.

One doesn't really notice how meaningless and mindless some jobs are, until engaged in something you enjoy, have passion for, the day before, and then have to suddenly prepare for regular job 'today'.
The contrast in incredible...there's like nothing of value to today, is how I feel right now, cause nothing I do today brings me closer to what I really want, other than a future pay check I suppose.
This idea that working just to work is a good thing, I wonder who invented that concept?
Having a income is what I think what more and more people desire, not just working just to work unless enjoy what you do.
And in fairness that's different for everyone...or could start of enjoying a job, but years later tire of it.
Could start enjoying being a auto mechanic, but then 5 years later the thought of going to work could be dreadful.
Is why I guess we all have the option of career changing, but not always possible.
But still, there are ways to earn passive income, like writing a book, or investing money, or being a day trader, I suppose there are ways to earn money without having to go through the motions of commuting to work, traffic, gas, and all the headaches associated with.
What amazes me though, is there's lots of people worth millions upon millions of dollars who probably stress more than I do about their money, or keeping it, or making it grow.
It's different with everyone, give me millions, and I'm gone, would just do radio, film stuff, make cool short movies and fund myself.
Oh well, what a dream, but for now time to get up and out there and join the rat race...at least I'm off tomorrow and next few days after that, hopefully.

IF on the way to work and found out you won the lottery, would you continue to your job or go back home?
Ye, if I'm driving to work, check lotto numbers or ticket, find out I won, would I continue to job or go back home?
Lot's of factors there...type of job, job vs career, first responder job vs cashier job, elected job vs non elected job and so forth.
But if just a regular blue collar job like construction or driving a truck, I'd probably turn around and go back home, I mean why risk injury after winning the lottery.
Not only that but amount would matter...if under $50,000, would probably finish out the day or week, but then would resign soon after.
But $50,000 is what many in the corporate world get for bonuses, so to them that's pocket change, well for me it's not....some rich folks will spend 50 gran just to attend some fund raiser meeting...it's all about lifestyles I suppose, my lifestyle is simple so 50 gran would last me several years or more.
If I won over $100,000 dollars I'd quit right on the spot, even if at work, but again depending on what type of job.
If I were a airline pilot I doubt I'd quit, cause that's more like a dream career that money can't by...certain careers money just can't buy.
But if a bus driver, I'd quit as soon as shift was over.

Going back to work today, and surprisingly my mood is decent, probably cause I get plenty of rest.
My job doesn't begin till after 12 noon, so on days I do have to work, I always get to sleep in, no more of this wake up at the crack of dawn health destroying stuff, no more forcing self to wake up right when body needs you to be asleep so can heal itself.
So in addition to working a few days a week, I also get to sleep in every single day which goes a long way towards longevity...and that's what we need folks is longevity, cause none of us are going to be healthy or live forever...heard that Bernie Madoff guy passed away today.
As great, as rich, powerful as they were back in the day, today he's dead, no more, and joins billions before him in the grave.
But while alive, especially if 'out here', longevity is what we all need, especially if taking care of self...if in prison, at least you have others taking care of you.
I wish they had a 50 and above prison, that way when I get older, and if I go broke, I'd just break the law and go to a 50 over prison and chill.
(ye right, if only things worked like that)..
Anyways, time to step out into this crazy nutty world.

One thing I do like about current job schedule is able to sleep in, that matters a lot to me, cause sleep, rest, is what keeps you young, young looking, and jobs that require you to wake up at odd hours, well, notice how those people tend to age quicker than others.
Is why some 30 your old's look 60 and other 30 year old's look 19, it's all do to lifestyle and rest or lack of.
No job is worth my 'youth' or mortality.
I stay with current employer not cause I like the actual job, but rather cause I like the schedule, able to rest, sleep in, which so helps me to stay youthful and healthy.

Sometimes when off from work, don't always feel like doing anything, and guilt-less about it
Ye, I'm off for a few days, and haven't done a dm thing of meaning, so what, this idea that we always gotta do something of meaning can in and of itself cause stress.
Sometimes I don't want to do anything other than sit around, write, draw, be online, and waste time...cause I can.

Feels so good to be home, when off from work, even if don't live in a castle Feels so good to be home, when not working, even if don't live in a castle, just having peace, when home, is like living in a castle. Cause when home, even if fiscally poor, you forget all of that, as long as food in fridge, you forget that you're poor.

One thing for sure, the longer you're off from work, the less you want to go back.
Trying to dial back into 'that', wow, but have to if want to pay bills.
Capitolism can be cruel at times, as you get older and more tired, cause they system is always nipping at your heals, and you can never ever get a break from it.
The world never stops wanting money from you, ever.
