I ain't sad about having a full time job. I wasn't always self employed. I worked in may different fields since I was 10 yrs old. Some jobs were easy. The 9-5 ears were the easiest. BORING. And most were "go no-where real quick".
I loved cutting pulp and logs. I loved hunting, I loved trapping, I loved fishing(commercial[with a net, not a rod and reel]). I loved being on the farm. I loved gardening. I loved living on, with , in nature.
The only reason I took the job at the landfill site was because I wanted to do my bit to clean up the mess we were making of our world.
I got sick of it because I saw way way way too much disregard for our world by even some of the people that were the ones that got me into it in the first place and the ones that that I was doing it for, the young people. Now I just tell everyone"If you don't give a ---- about the world you're gona inherit from me, why should I? I'm gona be dead by the time all that crap WE are putting out there now". Mind you I quietly do my piece but at least now I can say whatever I want because I no longer need to fear being fired for talking sternly to a bunch of whiny little spoiled brat ?ADULTS? Who will go whine to my boss about it......
...kuz I don't have a boss anymore.LOL
The last full time job I had before that was with what we call Child and Family Services in 1993.
Again, I just wanted to help.... .....bunch of dysfunctional idiots with a piece of paper on their wall that said they have the right to mess with people's lives(thats very dangerous to kids). Could you imagine an only child, 18 yr old, single woman essentially dictating to me, a father of 3 at home young children,.. and having already raised 6 others that had moved on and were doing well, some with their own 1 or 3 kids. ???? dont make sense to me. I think she was actually single. Oh my though, doncha know, she had a bachelors degree in social work. Well now, ain't that like a 12 yr old virgin boy teaching women how to breastfeed doncha think? Crap like this wounds the spirit.
So...! ...quit that crap after 6 months.
I now work at the local food-bank 1X /wk, and thats near all the greed, selfishness, abuse, disrespect, self-pity, dishonesty, disregard,etc I can handle. I just wana help you know, but people, man oh man........... Crap like this also wounds the spirit.
So now here I am, no job(per say), spending the biggest part of my time at home, the biggest part of that with my animals, while my fam runs around all over the country spending money like it sprouts out of the thin air.
Ain't crowded doing what I do, Thaz fo sho. Know what tho, I don't think I could handle it much differently now. I am so tired of humans and their egomaniacal idiosyncrasies that I think it's better for me to be alone with my animals as much as I am. At least they don't judge and swear at me for tryna help em.....???I think.....? I hope!Haha
