  • So Says I

    I love going in to work on my off days so much. 

    1) I wear whatever I want.
    2) I can jack around when I feel like it.
    3) No people to bother me.
    4) No people to shred me.
    5) I can leave when I feel like it.
    6) I get a level boost in confidence and self-validation because I'm working when I don't have to.
    7) I can just do the tasks I've planned to do rather than have to react to things that come up in a normal workday that distract me and monkey wrench my plans.

    It's like my perfect career.  I want a career that is completely voluntary like that.  I will concentrate the three hours of so of productivity that I am limited to daily into those 3 hours themselves, rather than having to spread it out over 10 hours. However, I require a paycheck for 40 hours a week.

    I got my oil changed today as well as some other random job I was conned into as usual.  But my car is in its twilight years so I will trust it needs some stuff.  I didn't go to Jiffy-Lube because I have boycotted them ever since they stole a quarter from my cup holder.  I'm a guy who sticks to his convictions.

    I got to go run at the park today which I haven't been able to do because it gets dark so early now.  This park is in all these trees and by these bayous so I don't want to run in there at night where an alligator or vampire bat can attack me.  I've been back on the treadmill instead but it's not the same as becoming one with nature.

    I thought I had switched my 401k to 10% stocks and 90% bonds but apparently that was only for the money I initially put in it.  All the money I put in per paycheck is still on the ultra-aggressive "I am young and can risk it" plan.  I guess I'll keep it like that.  Being a pussy never helped anyone.  And might as well get stocks while they're cheap, yeah?

    Like 4 years ago I tried to buy individual stocks myself but it was a giant failure.  So much so that I forgot my password to that account and am too lazy to do anything about it.  There are no maintenance fees so I'll just leave those deposits hidden there to die.  Like the 70 bucks I have in a Credit Union in Deer Park.  That is my apocalypse money.

    I won't go into work tomorrow because the boss already saw me in on my off day today and there's a fine line between being a hard worker and being a loser who goes to work everyday yet still inexplicably sucks.
