The real world is unrealistic

When you ask a 5-year old what they want to be when they grow up none of them every say they dream to be a corporate slave working for the man. I know for certain I did not expect to come to an office building every day and sit at a desk surrounded by short fake walls. My 5-year old self is throwing a bitch of a hissy fit. Everyday she doesn't understand why we wake up when we're still tired, come to a place with no windows, no nap time, no recess, where we get bossed around (sometimes yelled at, which totally makes us wanna cry), and we do this on repeat for 5 days in a row. I feel bad for her because I can't explain it. I had big dreams of rescuing Shamu when I was younger, what happened to that? Now the biggest adventure I take during the workday is attempting to drink the coffee, aka: tar, they brew here. So so sad.

Tuesday, I despise you

I have a theory that there is one too many days in the work week, and that extra day is called Tuesday. It is a complete waste of a day and just means I have to be at work one day more than I want. Isn't four days enough? Now some might argue with me that Monday is the worst day, but they would be so very wrong and here's why.

Monday is the first day back to work after two days of freedom so its expected to be shitty. Its the reason the weekend is over, it forces you out of your comfy bed at an hour you would not normally see if you had the choice.

Wednesday is "hump day." You can celebrate that you have made it over the hump of the week and are in the home stretch.

Thursday is the beginning of the end. You are so close to Friday you can touch it. You make it through Thursday and you feel good. The best TV is on Thursday night. Thursday is the best weekday night to go out for a drink.

Friday is a wash. If you have not completed what you needed to get done by Friday you might as well wait till Monday. People sneak out of work early to get a jump start on the weekend. In Australia they call this P.O.E.T.S day (Piss Off Early Tomorrow's Saturday).

So you see Tuesday is pointless and should be eliminated.

Routine

I hate routine and this revaluation just hit me, which is a little absurd to me. I was just reading an article about why people love travel and why travel is associated with happiness for a lot of people. It hit me that I am continually searching for the next job or next move because I genuinely like change. It drives me slightly crazy that my job doesn't offer me enough of this. Don't get me wrong there is change in my job, but the annoying change. For example, my boss or client changes their mind on how they want something done after I just spent 2 days doing it the way they originally told me to do it. That is definitely not the change I'm looking for. I want routine breaking change. I don't want to wake up at the same time anymore. The other thing about routine that kills me is the lack of freedom I feel when I'm forced into a routine.

I understand that some people freak out without routine and I appreciate those people, I am just not one of them. I feel more like myself when I'm free to attack each day in my own way. Now I just have to figure out how to live freely without routine, without someone else dictating my day to me, and make money too. Cause as much as I love my car its not really where I want to wake up every morning.

Umm I don't want to be stuck in a room

"When God shuts a door--the Devil tempts us with an open window"

On the way to work one morning I noticed this sign on the church by my house. It really disturbs me. I don't want to be stuck in a room. What if the door that God shuts is the bathroom door? I sure as shit (no pun intended) don't want to be stuck in a stupid bathroom for the rest of my life. I get claustrophobic and what if the bathroom I'm stuck in doesn't have a tub, where am I supposed to sleep? Also, I need to eat at least every two hours I'm a fat kid at heart, I love food. I ask you if God loves me why oh why would he want to separate me from one of my loves?
