Goodbye 24hr Lollygaggin'

Well, today is the first day of My Weekend. For the sake of efficiency I will refer to Tuesday & Wednesday as My Weekend until further notice.

It really sucks being so tired to the point of exhaustion all week. I could go on and vent about the bad people I work with as there is no lack of incompetence. However I find that focusing on the negative is just no fun.

I guess my life in changing in the fact that I find my work/play balance changing a lot. I mean I've lived a bit of the life of riley in the past. And frankly it sucks compared to an honest day of work. I just wish that my honest day of work didn't include that of one or two others. But again, not gonna focus on the negative. One has to suffer a bit to truly enjoy the greatness of life. The dynamic of pain and pleasure is really a weird perceptual issue. I don't even pretend to really understand it.

Anyhow it's nice to have money and I really do treasure my time off an awful lot. Tomorrow I try to get a bank account (finally), buy some groceries, hair cut and beard trim, engage in a little retail therapy and generally get things in order before I go and do it all over again.

Despite the trials and tribulations of truly living on my own in a foreign country... I am really enjoying my freedom.

As much as the intrusion on your time hurts, its nice to actually have the monetary power to decide what you're doing when you want to do it isn't it?

Is tough on the feet though *HUGS*

I was stuck on a plane that had a CNN world news feed as part of their "entertainment" programming and they talked about how Scotland is running out of people, and that people aren't having enough babies there.

So maybe you could pick up cash as a sperm donor? heh

Welllll... an awful lot of mine DOES go wasted.

When I worked at McD's (which was, admittedly, a long time ago), beards were forbidden. It was irritating, but since I couldn't grow a decent one anyway, it didn't matter an awful lot.

They work you like a slave. I had nightmares about bigmacs. I burned my fingers constantly on the bun toasters. I got asked to fill in for someone on the breakfast shift and discovered too late that there's a breakfast menu. I remember when I got off to college and got my first computer job, how fabulous it was to just sit in front of a screen all day.

Everyone should work there for a little while, just to appreciate what any other career could offer.

Oh, and I made $900 after taxes in only three months! Whee!
