keeping it interesting

[psycho040253]

This 'ere betting lark may be a lonely and, at times, a boring existance but, for me, it beats the hell out of:

having to laugh at a boss's unfunny jokes.
having to crawl up an inept manager's @ss in order to 'get on' in life.
having to be politically-correct in an office environment.
having to play office politics.
having to commute to work every day along with the other sheep.
having to do jobs that I don't like doing or believe in.
having to do jobs that are pointless.

Now, if I don't feel like betting, I don't. The only person that I have to answer to is me. If I fail, I fail because I'm not good enough and not because someone else didn't do their job properly.

I am my own master and life is in my hands. If it means that I get bored now and then, so be it because it beats the hell out of the alternative.

I once saw a cartoon in a daily rag which went:

When I was young, I went to school. I thought it a jail.

Then, I went to work - even more of a jail.

Then, I broke the law and went to jail.

As I sit in my cell, I now know what freedom really is - THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE WHICH JAIL.

Plenty of people would love to have your problem. Would you like another plate of this instead?

"The alarm clock goes off. You must get out of bed and start your day. You wanted to stay up later the previous night and catch that late TV program, chat a little longer with friends at the pub, but you couldn’t… You are sleepy and you really want to turn the alarm off and go back to bed. Of course, you can’t do that, because you must go to work. For the vast majority of people that is not a prospect that fills them with joy or anticipation. Your work is OK,
or at least not “bad,” but you have to go to the same place every day, and you have to do what one or more other people tell you to do. You have a little negotiating room on this issue, but not much. Similarly, you have a little wiggle room. There are some minutes when you can steal a little time “of your own.” But mostly, you have to do one thing after the other that someone else tells you to do. What’s more, you must do it when and how they tell you to do it"

"Others whom you work with are better compensated, and those that own the enterprise you work for are getting rich from it, and that rankles. But, beyond these concerns, this isn’t what you really wanted to do with your life and your time. When you were fifteen, you wanted to _______________, to travel, to see the world, and to meet interesting people and do interesting things. Instead, here you are. And every day you are a little older and a little more run-down. The clock is ticking. When you looked in mirror this morning, you had to face it yet again; you aren’t young anymore and you aren’t going to get any younger."

"Your sphere of options is incredibly narrow. You don’t see it that way, but that is the reality. Except for 2 weeks a year, and scattered holidays in between, your life is mostly the same – and it isn’t exciting and you don’t enjoy being told what to do all the time. In fact, if you didn’t need the money, you’d beat your boss senseless, or at very least, walk out and never come back."

When you put it like that, it does seem really quite ungrateful dosent it
