Very long workday, not feeling very spirited right now, but that's usually what work does to you, at end of shift, left feeling dishoveled and out of it.
Just depends on the type of job you have I suppose, if like Fire Rescue, and working around others, maybe leave work feeling 'up beat', I don't know.
But if just regular blue collar worker, nah, you just come home feeling dishoveled.
I wonder what it's like to come home to a wife, a family, and say 2 hobbits that want your attention as soon as walk in front door of house?
I've never had that, and so use to not having that not sure how I'd handle it if did have it.
I can no longer imagine walking in from work and instantly having to deal with 1-3 different personalities with different needs.
I guess like anything else, you get use to it, have to make adjustments and can't always put 'self' first.
When you're alone, self always comes first, cause there's no one else to place before you.
But if could trade current single life for that of a full family life of my own, I'd take the family life for sure.
And I envy those who are able to experience that.

It sucks getting home, and place is as hot as a oven, and turn on A/C and can't even feel it for an hour or so.
Even with two fans blowing on me right now, feels almost like I'm in a Sauna

Preparing for work can feel like getting ready to step out unto a battlefield
It's a gross ritual we've all been conditioned to think we're suppose to enjoy.
Ahh, the dangers of trotting off somewhere, risking life and limb to get there (traffic ect), risking life and limb while at work (blue collar dangerous type jobs), just to be basically as poor at end of shift as was before shift began...what an honor.

I'm beat and in a grouchy mood, just got in, tired, thought I was off tomorrow, wrong, gotta work tomorrow, that's the worst feeling.
Actually a worse feeling is when you really are off, at home, and get a call to come in.
To me, at my age and stage of life, labor is just labor, you're still check to check, no matter what.
Labor is labor.
And until learn to earn income passively, it's all the same to me as of now, the only variable is those you work around, if work around people you find soxy and interesting than work can seem fun, but if work kind of alone, as in transportation industry, it can just be a long lonely shift of introspective thought.
Well I'm home now, for a bit, just enough to eat, get some rest, than do it again.

When you've stopped working for a few weeks or so, as in lots of time off, and get caught up in your own world which has zero to do with generating income, then have to go back to job, it feels so very intrusive.
It feels slavish, almost pointless.
Income generating just seems evil to me at times, especially when can never generate enough of it to live comfortably.
But then I guess what system is better?
Plenty, just in modern era times, post industrial times, it's either this or that, and to late to go back, cause this system has infected the whole planet now.
The only people who get to live free are those who just have enough wealth to retreat onto their Mansions, or secluded acerage, or cottages way up in the mountains.
The rest of us are just strung along, told working for starvation wages is a gooooooooood thing.

About to head out, just trying to hang onto those few more precious moments of home time, before have to venture 'out there', ugly personalites, rude drivers, noise, germs, bacteria, viruses, crime and more...and some how ignore most of it if can.
It's all a perversion to me, societies should never be this large, the government feeds upon our labor, jobs invented in the name of the Government, that means we have to work so they can continue to suck our money.
Sure there's benefits to taxes, roads, electricity, the basic stuff, but trillions are spent on nonsense, and people who know how to 'grant right', get this nonsense money directed at them or firms.
Whatever man, I just wish I wasn't apart of it, wish I could escape, retreat into Mansion, or even a small cabin, I don't care, just tired of this pointless hussle and bussle.

Home
That feeling when you first get home, tired, worn, that feeling knowing you only get a few hours to stretch out and forget you're a peasant, before having to do it all again.
People have vastly different experiences on this planet and within nations.
I'm working poor 'OK', but not wealthy.
I'll never know what it's like to own a Yacht or even a Corvette while in my prime.
Or what it's like to still be young and soxy to self, and live in a 20 bedroom mansion....I'll never know what that's like.
Living in such a place when older, and no one wants to sleep with you, what fun would that be?
Certain things are only fun when younger and soxy, soxy to self and others.
A 20 bedroom mansion would be useless to me at age 70, just walking around like a corpse.
Oh well, there's a lot I won't ever have in this world that I really wanted...I"m not the worse off in this world, but far from the best either...right now just a bit wore out from job and need some relax time.

Made it Made it, made it home after a long shift. Wow, wish I could just for once get home feeling charged instead of always drained, so drained. I think it's mental, cause once home, after a quick lay down, or mellowing out period, the energy begins to come back. I think it's just something about being out there in the industrial world, in traffic, that just drains thy soul. Or doing the same thing over and over for hours and hours, just has a draining effect. I think that's why those who have jobs dealing with people and personalities, aren't as drained when they get off work, or maybe they are but in a different way. I think dealing with people though, is more rewarding than dealing with machinery, or just driving a large truck for hours upon hours at a time all alone. I'm just like 'Is this what I strove for when younger to arrive at this spot in my life?' Yes I know, I should of career planned much better. For instance, I don't think professional pilots, when they get off work, feel as drained as I do, or your average blue collar type. Or maybe it's just cause my days are so long...but then get many days off once work week over. Trying to think back to when I was younger and trying to remember if I felt so drained when I got off work? I can't remember, cause I did so many things and moved around so much when younger, and for many years drove OTR in a big rig and so home was simply parking the truck and climbing in the back of the cab. It's why trying my darndest to earn passive income, but it's not easy, ye, you can write a book, but doesn't mean anyone will buy it. There are very famous people who write books, and as famous as they are, they may only get a few hundred or few thousand sales, and they're famous! So how much harder for a unknown Author to move books? -------------------------------------- Anyways, in a hour or so I'll feel better and all relaxed, especially since don't have to work tomorrow.

I ask myself at times, how much longer can I continue to labor like this, get up out of bed, get dressed, groom, and step out into the elements, the world, how much longer can I do this?, I ask self at times.
And what choice do I have?
Trying to do other things that will allow me to earn passive income so don't have to get up and out.
It takes good health to do what I do day in and out, energy is not free, and health is to not be taken for granted.
As you get older you just naturally start thinking differently about your health, time and labor, and realize you only have so much.

I mean if Joe Biden were a regular blue collar type of person, he would of passed away years ago.
But he's not, he's super wealthy, so will always have helping hands around him, as long as he has fiscal value to others, but us common types we don't have that type of fiscal value to others, so when we get sick or start to lose our minds, we're doomed. The streets are filled with such types, beggers, homelessness, mental illness, sickness, just go downtown and see all the street versions of Joe Biden.

Here's what happens to blue collar types who have to physically toil to earn a living
1. Hate getting up to go to work in the elements (when get older anyways)
2. When finally get into job, trade, thoughts begin to loosen up, and if a creative type, you begin brain storming in your own mind, then really peaks about 3/4 of the way through shift.
3. Finally get home and thoughts are still there, plans, this side project, that side project, but sadly the body is just to shot to carry any of it out, just want to rest, relax the mind by not thinking about anything.
4. Go to bed and repeat above all over again.
And years and years can go by getting caught up in that cycle.
And before you know it you're older and your health is shot.
If have or had hobbits, at least your dreams can live through them, I guess that's the whole part of starting a family.
If single though, than your dreams die with you....unless like create some scholarship, or trust fund to help others with potential and dreams the way no one ever helped you.

When I'm off, like today, initially all I want to do is wake up and let my mind and thoughts stand still.
But yesterday, before I knew I had today off, I wanted to do a million things.

It's Friday, but I got to work tomorrow. Another long day. I felt fine most of the day, but then towards the end, I don't know, body just seemed to start getting that 'about to get a cold' type of feeling. I think it's just do to working such long hours, I really do. I think lack of rest, or staying up to many hours, will weaken your immune system, period. That being said about to crash soon. Also, was asked if I could work on Sunday..D'oh! Normally I'd say no, or come up with an excuse, but you know what, this company has been good to me, better than probably any company I've ever worked for, and I haven't been asked to work on a day off in a very long time, so I said 'yes'...and pretended to be happy about it to boot. Cause they'll remember my attitude long after that day has come and gone. And I am happy that I can help out, but my body won't be happy about it. It's why I had to stop drinking, I really did, not for 'Jesus', or 'God', or any other entity, rather I had to stop drinking for myself, cause it was effecting me, and no one else. It was effecting my endurance, attitude and more, and so when the negative effects of drinking begin to out weigh the positive effects of drinking, that's when I made my mind up to stop. Cause at my age, I tell you what, I need all the energy and advantage I can get during the work day.
