My friend raised up an interesting question today: Even though you might be happy in your life, ever feel like it's just a way to hold you over until something comes along and makes you feel better and more accomplished then anything before?
Funny thing is I am one of those people who were content with their lives. Until this morning that is. This morning being the morning that I realized that wake up before the sun comes out, drive to work in 2 inches of snow, drinking nothin but Pepsi One for breakfast. I listen to Howard Stern even though he's seldomly funny (but very interesting), but there's just nothing else to do. My week is based on the next time I have to fill up the gas tank. My meals are based on if I need anything else at the moment (atm, cigs, etc). I'm just waiting for my time to break though, because this can't be all my life is cracked to be.
Funny, because I was already thinking all those things before I talked to him, before he brought up his question.
But for now, yes, I must say that life is good. This daily/weekly monotony puts money in my pocket and lets me experience corporate life. I'm sure that it'll come in handy when I get older. Life is all about sacrifices right? Gotta give a little to give a little. Hell, PJM gave me 40 hours of paid time off. I figure that's my xmas present for dedicating so much time to this job.
Life is good, but it could be better. Sounds like a motto to live by. One of those idealogies that will keep people from living stagnent in a dead end job doing the same thing everyday for the next 40 years until they retire and move to a condo in Florida. Geez, I can't imagine doing the same thing for a whole co-op cycle, let alone my whole life. Scary thought.
No wonder everyone goes through their mid-life crisis. It's all good... just my excuse to buy a Viper.
