A morning office realization....

I'm tempted to quit so I can get out more and do more camping/bushcraft, though the whole lack of an income would start to suck pretty quickly. Mondays definitely suck, doubly so when your job sucks too.
 
meh, start saving. Calculate how much you need for the basics and how much more gear you need to get outside. A day pack and a big pack, a water filter, a full roll of 550 chord, a zippo and a bottle of ronsonol, etc. Then figure out how much you spend every month on essentials-rent or mortgage, utilities and food. I don't pay any bills other than power and rent and altogether I figure 600 dollars a month is PLENTY to keep me alive and healthy right now. Add in 100 dollars for recreation fund, for gas, camping permits, batteries etc and spend a few months straight backpacking. I live in Idaho, 3 blocks away from downtown and 3 blocks away from the foothills so I have good outdoor recreation a stone's throw away from my house. You can be poor and eat healthy, stay warm AND have more fun than everyone else, as long as you have the knowhow, the motivation and the gear.
 
Since my job was eliminated a month ago all the days are starting to run together-COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS FOLKS !!!

I most definitely do. I'm not a rich man, but I'm pretty lucky for what I've got.

This wasn't a gripe about work thread, just an observation.

Turn that frown upside down Debbie Downers.
 
Until a few years ago when I got in the PO, I never held a job longer than 7 months. Waterpark lead to alot of seasonal jobs. I had a ton of fun, but it just got too unpredictable. I'd spend months working my ass off nonstop, then go right into no work for 3-8 months. In the ofttimes, you have to find something, anything, and treat it like a job. Photog, snowboarding, working out, anything. Otherwise you lose control of life, and depression/laziness settles in. I decided to pick a bedtime and stick to it, cook at least once a day and prep small meals at regular times, and try to accomplish something or go do something every day. This was after a few breaks of serious alcoholism. I still love drinking, but just letting go wasted years of my life, and tens of thousands of dollars.
 
Aye, I told myself no more alcohol til I get a job, the two to three cases of steel reserve a week thing is counterproductive even if you're not producing anything, lol...
 
Pretty much any work day sucks and then the weekends go by uber fast so they suck too...

Oh dear god...my life...

How strange the way things change. the outdoors were a thing to be beaten back and contained for the safety and prosperity of humanity, now its our place to escape to, from the trials and troubles of modern life.

:thumbup: I agree
 
Hey man, lighten up dude! I love every day that I live! Think of how it could be-you could have no job and no home. Or worse, you could not know what Bladeforums is. You could not have friends. You could be lonely or have a horrible disease.

You have an existence that literally billions of people would LOVE to have.

That said, I still understand the monotony of it sometimes. I'm still in high school, but you just gotta look at the bright side and love life.

You and me both. Weekends blur into this one blob of something. Week days are a drag and are filled with work or getting the random crapola you need to do done. We need to establish a BF colony. We make food, alcohol and knives and shoot the shit 24/7.
