The Grind

I have the next two days off, which is a much-needed break. I've worked six straight weekdays in a row, and while that might not sound that bad to you working stiffs out there, for me it's a marathon and a half. I haven't really worked in three years, and haven't worked full-time in over a decade. Think about that for a minute. Crazy, isn't it?

The good news is I got a great job. It's in a decent neighborhood (Brentwood), which isn't too far away, and has flexible hours which don't force me to get up too early, or stay too late. Not only that, but I have a cool boss, a fairly interesting job, and a good salary. But it's still work -- real work -- and that's just not something I'm used to. I don't know how all you lifers do it.
