I realized that I've been working almost continuously for the last 35 YEARS, bar the occasional all-too-brief maternity leave, and the rare period of unemployment. The only reason I haven't gotten a gold watch is because it hasn't been all at one place, which is kind of a gyp if you ask me!AdriansCrazyLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04463022076036044242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-7525893719907127162010-04-08T11:34:35.995-07:002010-04-08T11:34:35.995-07:00Hey, look at the bright side... at least you rent ...Hey, look at the bright side... at least you rent your brain out by the hour instead of the GD <b> year!</b> And costumes are exciting at first (read: I thought wearing a uniform was supercool when I first joined the Navy) but after a while you realize it doesn't drown out the fact that you're still. at. work.

I just sideways'd into it because I was good at it, with no thought as to whether I wanted to DO it for forty years. As for Mondays, the UK had a public holiday today, so Tuesday is the new Monday. Well, this week anyway. And I have Friday off. Damn, almost halfway there!
