As the old farmer's saying goes, I am "in the short rows". Forty two work days remain in my career with my current employer. I will have made twenty six years at this company near the end of May. The work is beginning to take a toll on me.
My father offered me some loving fatherly advice once when I was a young lad. He said his father had passed it on to him, his advice was simply to always work at something you enjoy. My enjoyment of what I do ended some years ago, with the tough job market, my field changing dynamically and my inability to take time away to go to school for training, I decided to tough it out. The time of toughing it out is now drawing to a close.
My future is all but in my own hands at this point, soon, if I am hungry, cold or in a jam I can rely on my own wits to resolve my situation. It is where I want to be. Working toward self sufficiency with food, shelter and entertainment. In my not so humble opinion, entertainment can be watching the sunrise while listening to Coyote pups yipping in the distance or watching the clouds move across the sky. I am a simple man and ask little from life. My life now is far too complicated, I look forward to the shifting of gears.
As I like to say when I am happy,
Cheers!!
