Alas the price of been fed, is hours upon hours of lecture at best (why no doctor? Why no IT, etc, are you not ashamed etc?), if I get fed at all (the lectures and complaints seem to come free though).

Money for me is just a means to an end (sensory experiences/knowledge and travel) so it is that weigh up for me. I know I need the cash, but I really hate the idea of being tied down, so yes on my own terms and for my own reasons are things I need. Sausage soup isn't a bad thing, honestly, its just I didn't have a lot of it.

Me I'd do the commercial thing for cash if it wasn't soul draining, and there was some creative/intellectual challenge to it. I want to use my brain, I don't want a job where I am the zombie, I don't want a life where I'm one either.

Yours was a very petite rant.

What you wrote in my journal was so very right and helped me decide to take the office job!

I've been working in music retail for about 8 years now and done countless christmas's and every year i say "I will not do this again next year". I love my music and i am very good at it, but the thought of having nights off and weekends is just too good to pass up. Work has been making me feel terribly guilty though and the shit i will have to put up with for the next week or so will suck, but then life goes on!

Where do you work now? Obviously not in retail, but i guess most other jobs would allow for you to go and visit the sea and relax/revive! I like water, but in a more tranquil kind of setting. I like lakes and rivers but not a huge fan of the ocean. Kind of scared of the sun too...haha...

Hopefully someday you come visit our beautiful little city!! Take care missy
