Bad Case of the Mondays

Maybe I should be a llama farmer. I have no idea who would buy a llama or how successful a llama farm would be, BUT it would mean I wouldn't have to sit in an office all day. I'm striving to find something different; however I'm not sure that will ever happen. I don't like being stuck inside an air conditioned building day in and day out. I sit, stare at a computer screen and get fat. Fat and bored would be the two words that describe my work week. I'm not allowed to leave or if I do, I have to make the time up, like if I forget my lunch one day. I'm chained to my desk like a chain smoking monkey.

I need to move. I feel my best when I am out and about moving around and feeling like I am actually doing something productive. I want to feel tired at the end of the day from working hard. I want to be famished at meal time and pass out as soon as my head hits the pillow. It's moments like that I feel alive. I could barely drag myself in today. It's just another day doing useless busy work. I'll probably always be stuck working in an office.

I'm not a person motivated by a career -- as much as my great aunt would wish me to be. Employment is not my life. It is a means to an end. I don't need to be a huge CEO working 90 hours a week just to prove to people I can do it. Life takes place outside the office. Simple as that. Unless I owned a llama farm...that would be different.
