A Few Thoughts on Work...

I woke up early today and experienced a temporary state of confusion... What is that loud obnoxious sound? Why is it dark outside? Why does my neck feel like beef jerky? And then it struck me... My Thanksgiving break is over, it's time to go back to work. I can't remember the last time I had a four day weekend... Lately I've begin to realize that my job is dull, the people I work with are obnoxious, the satisfaction I receive from a job well done is minimal. I am a robot. I wake up, get dressed, go to work, go home, eat dinner, do some work for myself, get some exercise, read a book for a while and go to sleep only to repeat this process again and again until I reach the weekend. But to keep things relative, Americans work longer hours then most of their foreign counterparts but the standard of living is still alot higher than most third world countries. With that in mind, I can appreciate the fact that I'm work in a safe office environment, blog at work, complete tasks that are not that difficult and receive an income that provides me with a roof over my head, a cell phone, car insurance, groceries, a modest entertainment budget and a few bucks to throw in my savings acct every month. Things aren't too bad after all...
