I have spoken about this before that some people work, not because of money or bills to pay or needed the money to pay off debt or to raise their family.
When I first started out working, I was a young buck, in a field with other people who worked there all their lives. They needed the job for their own survival. Work = money for them and so they are working for a living. I on the other hand were lazy, asking days off like no other and pay me anything on my check, no matter how small and I would be ok. I have minimum bills, no gf, no need to pay rent or mortgage and all I needed the money is to pump my gas and $20 cover charge into a club. Oh and buying booze and taking girls out was where all my income goes to.
So you see, I can not be in the same class as my co workers. My work ethics were poor and this is probably a reason why some manager needs someone whom they can invest in and not some young cat who will get lazy, missing work because he's too drunk off from the clubs and such.
There's also a class of workers who likes to work because going home is where they do not want to be. Moment they get home, the home life is so unbearable for them. Domestic violence and such.
I kind of fall into that category after the mommy passed away. I could not cope with her death that I took on more than enough jobs to keep myself busy. I just do not want to do anything at home so when someone asking me to do something, I say I have to work and so I'm exempt. It then becomes a way of life for me. I was pushing over 90+ hours a week like it was nothing. I didn't even go home cuz driving up and from work is about 2 hours each way so 4 hours per day if I'm a commuter. I told myself, why not just get another job to fill in them 4 hours, at least you get payed for it instead of being stuck in the car for 4 hours per day and not getting payed for it. The concept makes sense right?
If anything, it should be me paying them for having a roof over my head for the grave shift and they have a gym there and a shower there so not having to pay for gym membership is a win. You know them stories about how tech folks were living in their car and working 2 jobs? I was that guy and I survived one of my darkest days. It was like I was an operational manager for myself. I budget my time, my life, where to eat, where to stay so I don't get mug, where to party and where to live a life like so that even my friends do not even know what I'm doing. I did all this while partying too.
Those were them good old days. It helps to build character and it was something I always wanted to do. It can be seen as a mental illness but as long as I don't hurt anyone or hurting myself, it is a good kind of illness. Maybe this is why i'm not a bf material. I can't find a spot to fill in that gf unless she runs a homeless life like I do too.
