Work, Job, Employment thoughts, issues and more Welding is a respectable trade and totally needed, but see it as more of a career than a job, but career vs job can be in our heads to, in that a career can become a 'job' to you if you're burned out on it, whether welding or being a nurse or a teacher or a bus driver or a fisherman, a career becomes a job to 'you', when you're burned out on it...and with that being said lets begin this long journey of discussion....but more like blog/journal/diary type of discussion.

It's nice having 4-5 days off per week and still getting paid a normal livable wage.

Off for a few days, just got home a few hours ago and still feel 'out of it'.
Work just saps me now of all my energy. I work very long hours, but at least rewarded with multiple days off at a time, but still, not sure how much longer I can keep this up, after a while have to start thinking about your health.

Just got off work, what a yukky feeling, that yukky just got off from work feeling.
You're in like just a weird zone, especially if you carry something from work home with you, as in your head or mind, then it's even worse of a feeling.
So I write about it, to help defuse that work funk, residue, I write about how awful it feels, to get it out of me and onto this page.
That always helps.

It's one reason why I hesitate to get a new or newer car, cause I love the feeling, repeat, totally love the feeling of not being tied to any job or employer, I love knowing I can quit at any time and won't be strapped for cash, but if have balloon car payments, that feeling of freedom goes away.

I rarely turn on the TV after work, but today, just feel like sinking into TV for a bit, to help me seperate myself from the previous work crap.

Who remembers 'James Garner'?
Kind of one of Hollywoods forgotten lead men from years ago.
As I relax this evening I'm watching 'Decades', and they're airing this episode here.
I kind of still find comfort in how men of old carried themselves, always so cool and calm and adult like.
Society really doesn't produce men like this anymore, at least not in Hollywood.

As an older person, I grew up admiring people like James Garner, when younger, I naturally thought that's how men were suppose to be, you know, those sturdy TV series type of men, and maybe some are or were really like that, but the older you get the more you realize it may of been more fantasy than reality.
I just know, at least in my work and social circle (which isn't very big), it's hard to find older or mid aged, sturdy men like Garner and others from his era anymore, they just don't make men like that anymore, or so it seems.

What is it about 'after work tired', that just rivals all other types of tired?
It's like after work tired is a demoralizing type of tired, especially if have to work again the next day.
It's like giving it your all, not to get rich, but to get by, it's exploitation, and I think the older you get the more you begin to realize that.

I'm so after work 'spent', I think I'll just turn on the TV again, lay back, and watch, and just let other people entertain me for a change on the TV set. I'm beat right now.

Just got in from work, I'm beat.
After eating, and writing, will just lay down and go to bed, cause have one more long day tomorrow, one long empty, socially empty bland work day.
Seems at my level, beautiful sexy people just don't exist.
Good looking people lift my moral
Just seems every check point I arrive at always unattractive folks or person waiting to check you in.
Oh well, good for them, bad for me.
Ugly people seem to do better at being in relationships than I do, I think it's being in a relationship that turns them ugly, cause they stop caring about their looks since they already have someone who loves them.

Why is it it's always your last day off from work, it's always the last evening/night, that you start having the most fun, but then have to cut it short do to work the next day? How come it's always on your last day of being off, when have to work the next day, that you end up having the most fun and being most creative but then have to cut it all short do to having to get up the next morning early? Why why and why? I so wish I were fiscally independent so just didn't, and never again have to worry about having to report somewhere away from my home for a income. That just seems so crude. What seemed so normal decades ago, now just seems crude and intrusive. I lean conservative, believe it or not, yes I do, but the older I get, and realizing I'll never get rich by laboring, the more I really don't care if Gov wants to give people a universal basic income, why not? Congress just gave itself yet another bonus by passing that 40 billion dollar Ukraine fund, to which not a dime has gone there yet...and never will. We poor types duped into thinking it's our duty to labor away all our lives for the wealthy, we're told 'It's you duty, it'll make ya hardy'...BS! Life is short, healthy life, meaning the time you're in decent enough health to enjoy self, is even shorter, so I say get yours while you can, cause if you don't, no one will give a dam when you're without. ---------------------------------------- And one more political pet peeve I have. I hate when stuffy noised conservative older men say 'Wealth redistribution', as if the poor masses are getting wealthy off of the wealthy, BS! Wealth always flows up, never down. Is why decade after decade the wealthy are getting wealthier and the middle class is being dissolved...yes, no? It's in fact the accumalitive buying power of the masses, that help make a few at the top wealthy. But seldom, if ever, do wealthy people make poor people wealthy. And sorry, but some 200 a dollar welfare check isn't wealth. But a 200,000 bogus Gov grant or loan, or contract or stiphen, is wealth, corporate wealth. Anyways, I have food on the stove, better go make sure it's not boiling over.

Amazing how just one shift of a long labor job that 'I' no longer enjoy, can totally disrupt my happiness.
I only worked one day, off tomorrow, then gotta work fri and sat, cool, but still, just that one day, today, where did have to work, has totally stole my 'mood'.
I come home, after work, feeling so blank and empty, and unenthused.
That's unhealthy, it really is, but I'm kind of stuck, cause it's the only job I can find right now where I only have to work 3 days a week and still pretty much get a full time check.
I just cannot go back to laboring 5 days a week, not at my age.
At my age time is everything and I only have so much time left to get stuff done that matters to me, and what matters to me doesn't nesesarily generate income.
One other solution is I do co-own some Real Estate, and if can rent 1 or 2 places out, that would be passive income coming in, which would be greatly needed. I don't know, we'll see, but such a move would be months away, and lots of stress involved, cause the person who co-owns them with me has put junk inside of them, which would mean cleaning, this and that, which = costs and money.
I'd rather just sell it all and be done with it.
Anyways, just got in, so trying to find my mood.

Today started off terribly for me, alarm didn't go off, and so was one of those panic get out of bed and dressed and out the door events, where you have no time to get your mind in order.
Then when get there, find out appointment time moved back 30 minutes, so I mad rushed for nothing. And it only got more bizzar from there once on site, but that's boring stuff.
Well, I'm home now, and as usual, don't feel like I gained nothing from the day, nothing. And it sucks having a job, and or your mindset towards said job, where you no longer feels it adds quality to your life, other than a paycheck.

There may be a slight conflict of interest between what I love to do when off work, and the job I simple bare or bear, do to needing a pay check.
Now they want us to come in, on one of our off days, for some safety training BS..but I also have a show I produce shortly after, and have been for months. There's no way in hell I'll let a job I don't like, one I've maxed out on in skill set years ago, interfere with my last chance to make it big in the media. So we'll see.
The job environment treats me like a lowly nobody, but when producing show and on the AM radio, as in celestial, listen while driving in your car type of radio or frequency, then I"m on top of the world.
