I like being challenged. I like learning new things. I like having the extra money. I like being productive.
I'm quite relaxed as I have no commute any more. I work at home except for one day a week I make a drive to the office to pick up papwerwork and checks. That takes about 2 hours. Some days I work 6 or 7 hours...somedays 1 or 2.
Don't project yourself on me. Sure, there are lots of people who like to be phyicially busy. Nobody is saying that is a bad thing. You keep missing my point in that it is an INDIVIDUAL thing. I don't like runningmyself arround 24/7. I like my patterns. You like your patterns.
And what stupidly makes you think my life is is filled with "nothingness"?
I am relaxed myself now too. Isn't that the goal?
Unfortunately for most, they don't have my option. Unfortunately for more and more, they have to work longer hours for less pay and until they die. Life is not worth living to me, if one has to constantly struggle only to be a tool to benefit others. And as far as your work hours good for you. It seems like you set your own schedule. I am happy for you, and that is no joke. But reality is, most people don't have that option. I certainly didn't most of my life.
I busted my ass in construction labor, convienence stores, department stores, fast food and other jobs for 30 years. I damned sure know what it is like to know how it is to be physicaly exausted and work long hours. So is your solution for me to work until I die?
Where do you see me projecting onto you? Those were pretty much all "I" statements. You took is as something it wasn't.
