After having a week off
being back at work is shit.

It's absurd that we have to spend so much of our time working.

Amen to that
Being back this week sucks. I'd forgotten that I'm awful at suffering fools gladly.

It does serve as motivation to work harder to quit the rat race though.

Freedom begins tomorrow.
God help me.

No work til September. Or possibly the september after that :/

I DO need a job though. So that's not REALLY true :(

Most of the time I take off work
Rather than refreshing and invigorating me, I actually feel worse going back to work. And yes there is something fundamentally wrong in life when 90% of your time is working or in preparation of work.

/shakes fist at the man

Yes
I have now been in full time employment for over 10 years and I feel fucked. I'm 32 dammit, I have another 4 decades of this shit.

Tomorrow is my last official meeting in work -
the final exam board - and then my time is my own. I mean, I have to do work but it's work of my choosing and I can do it when and where I please. Upside of academia. There aren't many, but this one. That, and the chance to travel. And having my own office is another.

Maybe
there's something to be said for freeconomy.

Or that guy that lives on that island that he built from plastic bottles. That would be awesome.
