I got this job 2 and a half years ago with the precise plan of getting a house with an affordable mortgage so I wouldn't have to do jobs like this any more, which I have now done. There's no way of doing this job part time or it not taking up 50+ hours a week (even if I wasn't on thumped i'd have to be logged in, paying attention).What prompted this? Any idea of what you're going to do next?
I look at my old schoolmates on linkedin sometimes and see they're head of this or that, with pucks of money and status and all that crack, and I think "maybe I shoulda done something corporate that'd make me a shitload of money and I'd be retired by now and living the good life" ... I mean, it's not as if I've actually enjoyed my working life anyway, right? And I'm smarter than most of those pricksI could have worked my way up the corporate ladder and died from a heartattack at 50 a rich, stressed, unhappy man.
I know too many people who are killing themselves with work right now with the idea of retiring at 45-50, and maybe they will, and have a stress free life after that and the joke will be on me. However, the hardest working person I know doing this is already moving into chronic pain issues in their mid 30s right now, directly related to their work ethic. It's quite the gamble.I look at my old schoolmates on linkedin sometimes and see they're head of this or that, with pucks of money and status and all that crack, and I think "maybe I shoulda done something corporate that'd make me a shitload of money and I'd be retired by now and living the good life" ...

But, realistically, I've found working hard going enough without it being in a dog-eat-dog corporate bullshit-ology environment, and I don't think I'd have had the stomach for that shit

I'm trying to have hobbies now.My dad is always saying he wanted to do so much when he was younger, and he put it off until he retired, but now that he's retired he's too tired to do any of it.
I bought a Switch before Christmas, it's deadly. I'd recommend it.My plan for my retirement is LSD and computer games, neither of which I've tried before but are supposed to be fun and you don't need to be in good physical shape for them
Don't get me wrong, he's happy enough and has hobbies, but Covid-aside, all the see-the-world plans he had he's lost interest in. Too nervous about getting ill or injured abroad I think.I'm trying to have hobbies now.
Yeah, that's shit. You do get more cautious with yourself as you get older so it can be hard to go and travel be as carefree as you would be in your 20s.Don't get me wrong, he's happy enough and has hobbies, but Covid-aside, all the see-the-world plans he had he's lost interest in.
