Your own education is deficient.

So what. Even with my truncated education I could buy and sell you. Bet you live in a hovel and spend your pension money on rent boys

9 to 5 can feel like a grind because along the way you aren't living your life. You're a slave to your routine.
It probably reads something like this: Wake up, go to work,
come home and unwind, dinner, sleep, repeat.

Yeah been there done that, but it was 7 to 4

The last 9 years were a little better.
I traveled the world for work, visited many interesting places and met some really nice people.

sort of went like this.
Got up at an ungodly hour to catch a shuttle bus to the airport.
Fought my way through customs.
Rested and had breakfast in the Qantas club.
Got on a plane and watched movies for up to 20 hours.
Got off the plane and went to the factory/office/site.
Went to the motel.
Slept
got up went to the office/factory/site.
Repeat.

Then flew home to do it again the next week/month.

But the weekends were good, got to see heaps.
Then they sold out to China.
Now I cant find work, I'm apparently too old/overqualified/ inexperienced etc etc.

Isn't life great

I've been working since I was 13 years old, started with the paper rounds and graduated to stacking shelves at woollies, the chocolate biscuit isle was always a favourite shift, then got into the hospitality industry from waiter to bartender while studying at uni, then got into my profession and have been there ever since.

I tellya what if I win tatts I wouldn't NEVER work another day in my life.

At my age I would be very happy to shed that 9 to 5 ball and chain, getting rather sick of it to tell you the truth.

What about you...!!!???

http://i65.tinypic.com/23iwd1l.jpg

I was out of work in 2013 for 10 months.
The first 3 months - I thought it was great but then I realised
that with no money coming in
I couldn't do the things I wanted to do - like travel -
I didn't want to end up spending all my money & have nothing -
then reliant on poverty wages of $224 from the Govt while having to
prove that I applied for 40 jobs a month - no thanks.

Also - I got bored.

I was happy to find a job & go back to work.

Not being employed is the worst. No income is a huge part of it, but also the boredom, apathy etc.
I'm definitely the sort of person who would want to keep working for as long as possible, as long as it wasn't too physically exerting.
Even if I had enough money to live comfortably till I die, I'd still feel like my life was lacking something without a job.

The only thing worse than retirement, would be involuntary unemployment, followed by disablement, and then death.

Grin

Seriously, though. I've never worked 9-5. Mostly it's self employed, so flexible, but putting in more hours than a 9-5 job for most of the year. And then there are times I work for others, and it's 7.30 to 5. And I enjoy most of it.

If I won a shite-ton, or came into money, somehow, I'd be inclined to invest it in more work for myself, I suspect, after upgrading house, car, etc., for myself, and immediate family.
