so i am kind of bored of job. okay that isnt really here nor there, but it explains the following rant as i am slowly starting to think about what the hell else to do. you see the biggest problem is that i am paid reasonably and i have a fair bit of freedom, like i generally show up late can skive a bit, get little bonuses now and then and i dont ever pay for meat and a few other groceries which ends up savign me a decent amount of money in the long run. so there you go. anyway i was lookign on one of those find out what kind of jobs are suitable for you bullshit detectors, and since at this poitn i am not really serious i thought o kay i ll give this a shot because hell you never know, somethign might turn up that is like holy shit i never even thought of that that is wicked. but anywauy so i go to do the thing and it is one of those outline your life goals and then compare and conrtrast them to your current career. now for me this struck me as really odd, well becasue first of all i wanted something much easier like do you a like to shovel shit or b dislike to shovel shit. but secondly i am amazed that peopel actually have these kidn of goals. like i understand the goal of plumbers make a lot of money i will train to be a plumber now i make lots of money. but seriously do people make goals about how fulfilling jobs are. me i was raised to thin klike a job is a job it isomething you do to eat, and if you enjoy it it is an awesome bonus but seriouslydo people sit down and try to get spiritual fulfillment out of their jobs. this blew my mind a little. like i m not even tlaking about like a callign or anythign liek that. i mean that i understand. you know some poeple just really enjoy something and find they can have a career doing it, amazing. that's not what i m even tlakign about. i'm not sure i can really even atriculate what it was that weirded me out. i suppose i look at work as a neccesary evil, like even in the best most egalitarian utopian sopceity we are still all going to have to plowiong the fields and harvest the crops right. but generally i see it as somethign you get done and rthen live your life outside of that. i just dont get it. does anyone actually do this goals through work thing, or is this totally alien to antyone else. and really i should be using career, because work isnt right. like the goal of a raise not strange. doign less work for more money not strange. but an actually career tragectory wierd.
