i'm jealous of bob. i think that's bad...
but he knows what he wants and then he gets it. it's so simple. i'm sure if i had any idea on earth what i wanted i could get it, too, but i don't... so i don't.
he spends days at his job that he loves and is really really good at. he stays late to get more done and makes a lot more money by doing that--more money for the things he wants (and for me, too ;)). then when he's hangin out on the weekends, he has things he wants to do. he works on an engine for 8 hours just because he wants to and likes to. there's no deadline, no it needs to be done, no responsibilities attached. he just does it.
i spend my days, the few days that i work, at a job that i'm ok at and that i like (on good days). i make minimum wage, and have to work late a lot of times because people are irresponsible, and i do not make a lot more money by doing that. on the days i don't work, i sit around feeling guilty about how i should go to my other job which pays much better. but then when i do go there, there's nothing to do. literally-nothing. so i feel guilty for sitting there browsing facebook and getting paid a lot. so i leave.. when i'm home i put receipts in our checkbook.. when i'm motivated... i even balance it sometimes... except that the balance has been $200 off lately and i can't figure out why. i've gone through it all the way back to may of last year. i dont know why it's off. then i feel sad that it's off by so much and feel overwhelmed because i dont know what to do about it. then i might vaccuum something, or if i'm really motivated i'll wash the dishes or cook or something. but a lot of times i just sit and waste time watching tv or being on the computer... feeling guilty the whole time because there are other things i should be doing. but nothing i like doing. nothing i enjoy doing. nothing that i can do just to do... they're all things that should and probably need to be done. so, what do i do on the weekends? the same thing pretty much... i might go all out and actually clean the bathroom instead of just wiping away the water spots in the sink. i might watch a full movie instead of tv shows.. but again- nothing i like or enjoy doing. the worst part is, i dont know what i'd rather be doing. i could read a book, but i'm so tired all the time my eyes start to hurt and i just want to sleep. then i get sad about not finishing the book and i just stare at it everytime i walk by... wondering what happens next, but never picking it up again.
what do i want?
:(
i guess i'm not really all that jealous of bob.. he does have to deal with me moping around all weekend.. haha
