Nothing funny about it ! I don’t know how people deal with the daily toil.

Throughout my career I worked for a grocery store for a few months, and I worked a grill for a few months too. I was between 16-18. I also made money those years by doing V8 swaps.

I have owned my own business all my life. That means that most mornings I was up and at-em by 6 am but it was still on my terms. Even today I will set my phone alarm to go to a client site if they need me early.

but again, that’s all on my terms. My wife had to work for a bank. She had, literally, bankers hours. But still I couldn’t believe that her livelihood depended on “looking busy” and doing work based on a clock instead of work based on the challenge.

I agree with everything you said, but my comment was based on my own inability to determine if this is the world's Tuesday or Thursday ..... because I have only two ....

Saturday and Sunday.

I don't know how I know today is Sunday, but my body clock obviously does.

Tomorrow is Saturday.

NONE of this is to imply I'm lazy or do nothing .... I'm just not necessarily in sinc with the rest of the world as they rush off to put another man's kids through college.
