Earning a living is a bit of a pain in the butt. Sure at least we don't have to forage like wild animals, experimenting with wild and exotic flavours of bark and starving to death pitifully in winter where our corpses will be buried by arctic foxes for "laters", but it's still rather annoying.
Mostly so because so few people are actually doing jobs they love or working in enviroments that make them want to preform above and beyond their capabilities. You go to work, try avoid the bosses wrath, drink coffee that might actually be embalming fluid, watch the clock move so slowly onwards that it would probably make better time if it went backwards and day dream about the day you win a million or 12 in the next lotto. (Which, since you never enter it, maybe postponed a while...)
But we do have to survive and cash is cash is cash once you wipe all the blood and tears off of it.
And besides work does occasionally have it's perks! You can, even by accident, learn new things, watch other people who's lives are more messy then yours, have air-conditioning on really hot days (Ye gods I love that!) and have medical aid and a pension and all those silly things no one cares about till then need it badly and TADA, there it is!
Hey many people make it great, going on their own, starting their own businesses and flying free like an eagle or albatross or turkey or whatever bird you think is pretty awesome. And some fail and fall flat for various reasons that range from financial to emotional to blackmail and extortion. It keeps life varied and entertaining for the rest of us who shall pretty much stay second class labour till we die, sad and alone in a corner like a little dead beetle. < - - she said optimistically!
So please do remember me if you do start up a business though, I am nothing if not a good serving peon and I make coffee that doesn't turn your insides outside! Just a note for future use...
