I’m on holiday from work for a week with no plans other than lazing around. After this week I’m glad to be off as it was a right pain this week. You know how it goes as the graft strains your back and others seem to bug your brain. I know that it was just me being tired but it doesn’t stop you feeling down. Anyway I can put it to the side now and replenish my energies. A bit of gaming or writing will help along with some nice lie-ins.
It’s strange how work has that effect though. When you’re unemployed you can’t wait to get a job. Yet when you are working for a bit it starts to drain you. Maybe that has something to do with very few of us having that dream job. You know the one we all wish we had. The one where you’re the boss running that little business you always wanted to but never had the money to do it or the know how to get it. Though would it remain the dream if we were to find the way to attain it? How long before it became just like any other job? I’m sure that a few lean years would soon make it like that. After all that is the main reason most of us do work after all, for the money.
I know that is the simple reply but it doesn’t make it any less true. For if we didn’t get paid we wouldn’t do the job would we? I know I wouldn’t as I need to provide for my family. So that is my main motivation to work but it isn’t the only one.
Having spent much of my earlier years stuck on the unemployment lines I’m glad to be working. It is good to get up in the morning and have something to contribute to the family through a days graft. But it is also good to have a break now and then to spend some time with the family we work so hard for.
