Taxicab Confessions - Loving Your Job
This morning I had a wonderful ride into work by taxi driver Eulice Tibbs (what a great old school name!). He remembered me vaguely from last week because I had to stop at the GPO ATM, just like last time, in order to pay the fare.
So we were talking about how he's retired but he likes driving the taxi. It gives him something to do, and he likes it. I told him about how my grandparents worked in a factory for about 30 years or so and they retired and they're so bored they started an office cleaning company. They go and clean banks for a living.
And he started talking to me about how much he loves the cab. Seeing all the people, and getting out and driving around. And how if he didn't love it he'd just be sitting at home watching tv wasting away with boredom.
He told me it's better for you to have a job you love than to not.
Don't I know it.
I've got more to write about but I'll get to that later.
