Some days I do; some days I donтАЩt. As someone whoтАЩs been working a day job for almost 50 years, IтАЩve learned a job is a means to an end. It provides what I need to take care of my family and to do those things I enjoy doing. I donтАЩt define myself by my job. IтАЩve also learned to avoid a career: you have a job, but a career has you. As it is, IтАЩve been blessed: my house is paid for, my car is paid for and IтАЩve saved enough to continue working because I want to, not because I have to. ItтАЩs amazing what one can do when one learns the meaning of two words: тАЬenoughтАЭ and тАЬcontent.тАЭ
I've had 3 or 4 careers, and enjoyed them all practically 100%. But 45 years of that was enough. So now I do just the stuff that got me into those careers in the first place, and I love it still.
What I do not understand is people who work themselves into fortunes, then continue working unto death.
No snark intended, only a statement of the reality that only a very few can and should be paid for what they create.
do you love your day job?

тАжbeautifulтАжthe torture though is when тАЬcontentтАЭ becomes тАЬcontentтАЭтАж
