Time to get back to work
Babblings:
Usually by this time, APNC would be full of workaholic blood pissing coffee drinking drones by now. This year, all the original EAC folks have taken a step back to smell the roses. It’s a good thing for health and sanity of mind I am sure, but getting use to this relaxed lifestyle maybe a road down to addiction for chilling.
In good health, in good spirits, and fairly low stress.
Still need to get back on board for food, smokes, and spirits (the black and soda type), but all in all, not too bad.
It is time to get back to work tho. I can feel the wheels turning a bit faster, even tho we are all getting used to the relaxed lifestyle of only 7-8 hours a day.
I use to sniff @ home office, but really with my internet phone, msn messenger, email, ppt, websites, online collaboration office and 6 email address, I seem to spend a shit load of time in front of my laptop.
When the Dell got hit with a virus, my entire life came to a stand still.
I felt like Josh Lyman from West Wing season 7, when his assistant took his black berry away. electronic withdraw.
Chased by chain smoking, and bouts of KTV fits.
Finally, upon recovering my dell, and slowly but carefully re-installing all the software did I feel slightly recovered.
Birthdays, engagement parties, house warming, and kids being born. Turning 30 something is no joke. One can’t even pretend to be a young adult anymore, all the maturing around us drags us along like a rip tide. If you fight the wave, you will tumble in the surf. It’s much better to try to body surf gracefully for the beach. Afterall, ppl have been saying that 40 is now the new 30.
Tho I doubt they would mean that in a soothing fashion for those who are fighting aging and bolding. It is more of a commentary to increased cost of living, and higher marriage age. People are making families and buying houses later in life, because of the things depicted in Sex and the City and Friends. Typically, you don’t find your calling (second job) until early 30s unless you went to med/grad/mba. Even then, by the time, you get back out to the corporate working world after higher education, you are usually 28-29. By then, you are just starting to save up enough money for the downpayment to the first house, and the woman of your dreams is coming back down to reality and just starting to realize that Sex and the City is only a TV show.
Settling down in the early 30s is more of a result of increased time to reach financial stability, then it is about generation differences.
Buy lottery tickets, save money at Walmart, drive less, getting interest only mortgages, pool 2 incomes for one house, these are all results of increased cost of housing, and increased education time needed to reach income level for the increased cost of housing.
Because housing to male is the same as nesting to females.
Don’t even get me started on cost of wedding ring or wedding in this day and age.
So, like I said, time to get back to work, to make sure that 40s don’t feel like the 30s financially, and get healthier so that 40s do feel like the 30s physically.
