This thread has kinda got to me :shock: I’ve been doing my job now for over 30 years and long gone are the days of relishing in going into work and job satisfaction. It is now purely a vehicle to pay my mortgage and bills. That said I don’t do so bad for wages, better than a lot, but I’m an old man in a young mans game and finding it hard. It’s become the same old same old and I guess. For about the last 5 years I have been feeling disenchanted with it, and feeling like my whole life has been lacking direction. (Sounds like the old ‘mid life crises’ alright) I suppose we have all had those conversations about what we would do if we won the lottery, how we would tell the boss to stick his job where the sun don’t shine and what we would do with all that cash. Just talking about it gives you a little lift until reality kicks in and slaps you round the face as the prospect of another day at the workhouse kicks in.
But you know? you have to be thankful for what you have, and it’s all to easy to forget it as you become caught up in life’s great rut. I still can work, I have a wife who is magic, she lets me have my toys and my hobbies and is always supportive. We have three great kids, good friends, a decent house, and as I write I glance outside the front window and under the porch light sits our bus from which we derive a great deal of pleasure from
So life ain’t really so bad, we perhaps need to tweek and fine tune things a bit, and maybe push on with instead of talking about changes in our lives.
Yes I would welcome a lottery win, of course I would, but life is about making the best of what you have right now, and not a million to one chance that things are going to change overnight for you.
Jesus enough already!, I'm blaming all this drivel on the Stella's :lol:
