Thought of the Day- Doing Something *Rant Alert*

I hate my job. Most people, from what I've heard, share this sentiment to one degree or another.

More than anything, I hate that I go to work and do a job, make ok money, come home so wrecked I don't want to "get in the grindset" and go to bed. Rinse and repeat ad nauseum and then every month I look at where I'm at, where we are at, and we are maybe, if it all went right, 0.1% ahead of where we were. What the fuck? 

This is beyond frustrating seeing the same shit pop up and falling the same hole we have to dig out of that never seems to get any easier or any smaller. I KNOW some the problems and I accept that it's all my fault. I'm about as pissed at myself for taking so long to get to the point I'm now ready and 110% about to do something about it. 

I had a really easy job for 6 years. Working as a manager for a pet store. Easy mode. It was comfortable. I wanted out a few times but stayed because it was just a little better or a little more certain than anything else. Now I left and a few months at a new job working in and around cars, I realize I hate my job(the company culture, to be exact. The job is actually enjoyable to me but the management side is crap). 

All of this being said, it culminated in a dream a few days ago where a character in a dream basically told me to just say things straight and do what I need to do. That was the kick in the ass I needed to get back to doing shit I want/need to. 

I applied to a few jobs, got a interview in a week or so. I do my job but I stopped putting in the extra work "to fit in" because fuck 'em. I don't want to wake up and dread the idea of going to work. It CAN suck, but not to a point that we joke at work of the building burning down and debating whether we call the fire department. You see my point? 

I'm now getting out there and doing something about it. I started getting back into taking care of me and doing everything I need to do to fix my problems. Who wants to get up everyday, hate their job, work for the man 10 hrs a day, 4-6 days a week, come home and be too tired to cook or care? Waste money on fast food and have just enough for bills and never get ahead? Yeah. Me either.

Thought of the Day- Going “Green”

Seriously Considering Solar So recently, I’ve been bs-ing around with the idea of doing solar at my house. Now this is just a consideration but I’ve found some of the reasons to be compelling though there are some drawbacks. As I see it, there are the pros and cons. And I’m not really sold on it yet but I figured writing out what I’m thinking may clarify some things. Pros The way I see it, solar has some upside with the right circumstances.  First, electric bills being reduced would be nice. Maybe take that savings and do some work with it like renovations or something to that effect. Second, if we reduce our energy consumption enough and the local utility has a way to do it, selling electricity wholesale to the grid could bring with it some additional income. Income producing assets are a really attractive offer to me. I like the flexibility having recurring income brings and its part of my investment objectives long term. These 2, provided of course our provider does have a buyba...

Thought of the Day- Trying something new

 Here goes... something. After falling into a rut in most aspects of my life( in my job, in my daily routine, my weekends, even down to sleeping is just another thing instead of what I really enjoyed most after a hard day’s work, no real social life because frick all the people) I have come to think I need a change.  I’ve just felt super disengaged at work, at home, in the few relationships I do have and with my side work. I haven’t decided concretely on what the change is that I need but one is needed.  There are a number of things, big and small I’m trying out. To start, I tried applying to several new jobs, moved my floundering WordPress blog over to Blogger because for some reason I do much better with it, I’ve started try to stay up later or go to bed earlier, tried new hobbies, changed up my investments. This has been... somewhat helpful. It feels like a good starting point. One thing I’ve decided to try out is daily posting. If I like it, I’ll keep doing it. If not...
