I lost my innocence today, I could feel her in my bones, my bones, my bones...
My goal in life is to never work a full-time job just to pay the bills and support the family and have no joy in what I do. I don't want to toil away as a wage slave just to live and have that feeling every day of dread when I wake up and dread when I go to bed because I just have to get up and do it all again tomorrow. I want to love what I do, or at least believe in it. I don't want to work for small businesses or charities that actually operate like corporations. You can't run three stores like you have four hundred. You can't use the corporate rule book when you only have eleven employees. When you do that, nothing quite matches up between what you tell people to do and their actual capabilities and duties. You also make them go through unnecessary channels to communicate with the bosses when they could just drive across town to headquarters and have a meeting face-to-face.
I want to love what I do to the point that I don't care whether it only takes 3 hours or 50 hours to get the job done because it'll be worth it. If I have a family someday, I want to be able to tell my kids they're in school for a reason and that I am away for a reason if my job should take me there. I don't want to give them a hopeless view of the future because I told the truth about what I do.
Basically, my job pays the bills and is the best motivation I have to finish college. I am also incredibly sick of living paycheck-to-paycheck. I'm sick of the stress at the end of the month waiting to see which bills may or may not have to wait a week or two.
I am going to see Sky Road Fly at the High Noon Saloon tonight. Their music is exactly to my taste and two boys I know are in it so the first time I saw them I thought I'd have to be nice even if they sucked. They turned out to be amazing and I think you should check them out.
How are you all doing lately?
