Working class 'stiff', thoughts, regrets, reflections & more

Another long work day, where you, I, we, the worker, expend our energy for peanuts, ye that's right, peanuts.
And people who want to raise the retirement age obviously don't work in the blue collar world.

Usually people who want to raise the retirement age work in a office, and are salaried, or politicians with millions of dollars in tax payer funded pensions.
Or work for the city, ect.

Let's face it, unless one works for a gov entity, the future is bleak for most of us, in as far as being able to ever retire.

I may have to move soon, not sure yet.
Moving, when older, can be a very destabalizing experience.

Moving when younger, is fun, moving when older, is stressful, especially when have to do so alone.

I don't think very many people actually know what it's like to be totally alone in this world.

A day when I need some cheer, instead will be a long dull day of driving at work, alone, that's the last thing i need today, is a long mindless shift.

Why would I want to work, on my scheduled day off?
Why would I want to come in, and work a job, long shift, that when I'm finally off, I literally feel dead on the inside?

I consider not working, to almost be like pay to me, pay to my soul and spirit, and mind, to be free from such a cold wrecked work environment.

Corporations, particularly ones where their labor pool is primarily labor, as in driving, ect, don't realize if the work place isn't fun, rewarding, than for many, it's the same thing as showing up to work at some Siberian labor camp.

Off for 4 days and glad.

I thought being off for 4 days in a row would make me eager to return to work, not anymore, now it's like the longer i'm off, the less I want to go back.
I just don't enjoy my current job anymore, for a variety of reasons.

If I can find another job, with same type of schedule, I might leave....or even may settle for a 4 day work week again...but never 5, if I can help it.

I avoid stress like the plague, or try to, even on jobs I hold.

I don't believe in artificial safety perimeters.
I believe if a person is doing their job, than leave them alone, let them work, and don't add on layers of unnecessary stress with stringent criteria.

No job, as of yet, pays me enough to stress out all the while, while on the clock.
Stress is bad, especially as you age.

I wonder if it's time for me to think about getting a second job?
I hate the idea of working another job when off from my main job, I believe in getting plenty of rest and not stressing your mind or body out, but also, the price of stuff just keeps going up, and seems I'm slowly falling behind, or falling behind in slow motion.

I don't know, I hate that in this life everything evolves around money, what a evil concept.
