Dear lord....I have a 'job'
For the past 7 years, I have avoided any form of work requiring me to go to an office. Sadly, my days of freedom are coming to an end. I've been doing indy web development work, and I got an offer I couldn't refuse from a bank. To sweet to pass up. Time to stock up on dockers, I am soon to be a cubicle rat.

Pros and cons: Steady paycheque vs having to show up (not in your underwear) each day. Remember, if you win the rat race, you're still a rat. Seriously, a couple of my nephews work for banks in Toronto and are raking in more money than I'll ever see. On the other hand, they have to be in Toronto. ![]() Best Les

You were my hero. You have failed me.

Ohhh, slipping into bad habits.
I tried work once, but decided it wasn't for me. |

It could be worse. You could be an employer.

Life is full of compromise.
Even the Lord's Blessing. Good luck. |

I've worked hard all my life but I've never had a job.

Getting up and going to work is the only thing that keeps me alive.

I just retired from the rat race, now I'm working harder than when I had a job! Raking leaves, lousy black walnut tree loaded this year, nuts everywhere. I hate that f*#%ing tree. So see, being a cube rat has its advantages. You only have to do this other awful stuff when you get home...have fun, and thanks for working to pay for my Social Security!!

Get off my lawn!

I go to work 5 days a week and like it. No cubicle for me but I sit at a computer or two most if the day. My former boss took in his words "early retirement" at age 92. I figure I will retire at 90 to beat that.

I am pretty sure that there is no way possible that I could ever punch a time clock again, or do the 9-5 shuffle. My condolences to you

Don't punch-out any of the drones when you get frustrated with them…or the politics. This is going to take some adjustment. Better you than me!
