I must be feeling a little bit better…I’m starting to resent going to work.
During my recent illness and seemingly endless recovery (will I ever get back to normal? I have no idea), going to work became a symbol of normalcy. If I could get out of the house to go to work, function at my desk and do my job, I must be OK.
Yesterday morning I was packing my lunch and all I could think was “I wish I didn’t have to go today. I’d love to just stay home today.” In talking with The GirlFriend this morning I mentioned that what I’d really love to do is stay home. Her response: “And do what?” Which got me to thinking: what would I do if I stayed home?
We don’t have kids and I have a real problem being dependent on someone else for money, so barring winning the lottery, just being a couch potato is pretty much out of the question.
My dream job: I work from home for a web design/development firm doing nothing but taking designers’ comps, slicing them up, creating CSS and XHTML templates for web sites and testing them in various browser environments, making about $45K a year.
So, why wasn’t that on my high school aptitude test?
I would take that design job, but I’d have to earn a lot more than that. Cost of living on these shores is just too high.
I’ve decided to re enter the work force…and jeez….I wish I had one tenth of your computer skills.
Since my retirement from butlering (and living out of the country) the whole process has changed….and WOW is all I can say!
Hope that feeling of normal just sneaks up you and your find yourself feeling fantastic!
