i dont know what i do. like at a party and someone ask "what do you do?"
id probably say i work for the county, in road maintenance, snowplowing and making repairs within the county right of way. thats what i do for my paycheck. thats what consumes most of my time, thought and energy, whether i am on the clock or not. i want to shut that world off. i wish my work, or the thing that paid my bills wasnt a compartmentalized part of my life. i actually want my livelihood to be dependent, and unavoidable in all aspects of life. i want to dream of getting to the things i love, that will provide my family. how sad to loathe the thing that at least in the present is literally putting food on the table and roof overhead. i want to be defined by that which i cannot live without, and compensated for things that are a joy to contribute to. i want meaning and worth, challenges and rewards for my creativity in solving problems, improving processes and quotas. i want the things in life that give me pride to be the things that give me joy and sustain me.
