lildave3 Posted 24 March 2010 Posted 24 March 2010 I've done 36 hours in the past three days. COMON. Pfffft, what you do isn't work...
Manwell Pablo Posted 25 March 2010 Posted 25 March 2010 Pfffft, what you do isn't work... You got a job yet? Just can't picture you working. At all. My contract end's on the 2nd. Aint got another one yet. Thinking I may do a you and be lazy as for a bit.
FoxyPV Posted 25 March 2010 Posted 25 March 2010 Buy some mepehedrone off research chemicals and sell it to the local students for 20 quid a gram. It's where the smart money is. Got about 12kg hidden away for when times get tough
lildave3 Posted 26 March 2010 Posted 26 March 2010 You got a job yet? Just can't picture you working. At all. My contract end's on the 2nd. Aint got another one yet. Thinking I may do a you and be lazy as for a bit. I've had a job for just over a month! Nobody can call me lazy now, especially seeing as I bike there and back too. I've turned into some sort of machine. And I like it.

We'll be seeing you week on Sunday, not sure if I'm playing, shoulder bolloxed. Missing this Sunday <_<

I'll look forward to it. I was hoping you'd be right wing
Finnegan Posted 26 March 2010 Posted 26 March 2010 26 is a bit young for a midlife crisis isn't it? Nobody likes having to work for a living but unless we go back to living off the land and staying in caves I don't see what the alternative is. Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fooking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed- interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fooking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit- crushing game shows, stuffing fooking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fooked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?
Manwell Pablo Posted 26 March 2010 Posted 26 March 2010 It's been afternoon then midnight this week but generally, yeah mornings. I'll look forward to it. I was hoping you'd be right wing I may recover. I doubt I'll be right wing though. Which is a shame as I quite like it there and would relish the oppurtunity to make you look silly

I'm looking forward to it already. I'm going to be just like you: the job, the family, the fooking big television, the washing machine, the car, the compact disc and electrical tin opener, good health, low cholesterol, dental insurance, mortgage, starter home, leisurewear, luggage, three-piece suite, DIY, game shows, junk food, children, walks in the park, nine to five, good at golf, washing the car, choice of sweaters, family Christmas, indexed pension, tax exemption, clearing the gutters, getting by, looking ahead, to the day you die. Good luck to you Kareem, seriously. Wish i had the choice but with 2 kids and a mortgage im pretty much fucked!

Manwell Pablo Posted 30 March 2010 Posted 30 March 2010 . It'd be just like that game on the Ivanhoe Ben, Inside out. Yes Kareem, I am currently posting from there now. I finish Thursday though. Although being payed until 12/04/10

Floating Fox Posted 1 April 2010 Posted 1 April 2010 Good effort Karim...I hope things work out for you, personally not a fan of the whole work thing....... Couldn't even biggin to imagine how shit being in the same job in the same place for 20 years would be like ! I would hate making money for someone else as well, like I'd guess most of you do... Couldn't hack it.
RoosterRussell92 Posted 17 March 2011 Posted 17 March 2011 Guys - long time lurker and very occasional poster here. Apologies for bringing up an old post but I'm having a bit of work related crisis at the moment and suddenly remembered posting on this thread last year. I'm curious to know how Kareem (if he still posts on regularly on here) or indeed anyone else has gotten on after quitting their jobs/becoming their own boss. Without wanting to re-state everything that has been posted thus far (as the original post summed up my situation succinctly), I am utterly sick of working. I know no-one really likes work, but I consider the entire concept of work to be paid slavery and just cannot find the motivation to do it any more. I earn good money and have progressed nicely since graduating but I honestly cannot stand some of the people I work with - if you're a brown-noser, the corporate world is your oyster. And I just can't bring myself to act like that, nor work with people like that. I've been saving for some time now and can afford a good stint abroad but am in two minds whether to do it or not. My family, and the majority of people I speak to for that matter, are of the opinion that I should just carry on being a mindless drone taking the money. Why? Because everyone does. But I really feel the overwhelming urge not to do as 99% of people do any more. Life's too short in my opinion. Anyway, I honestly just want to quit my job and I don't really care that I don't have another one lined up; deep down I know it'll be just the same routine of being a robot being told what to do by some jumped up jobsworth with a hareem of yes-men to do his/her bidding. What I guess I'm angling for is - has anyone here gone down the route of doing their own thing - i.e. freelance work from home, starting their own on-line business or even doing some English teaching abroad? If so, how are you getting on? Any advice? All thoughts are welcome, and apologies for the long, incoherent ramble of a post.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 17 March 2011 Posted 17 March 2011 I've got 9 weeks of work left before i quit to travel the world for a while. You always need to have something to look forward to wether it be a good weekend or what ever or the full time work will get you down This was easily the best descion i ever made, 6 months of living of fook all sleep, seeing the sights during the day and experiencing the culture and heading out every night. Going to work hard and do it all again. I always wanted to save up by a house but i've figured lifes to short to settle down and i've seen thru my travels that you don't need heaps of possesions to be happy.
Mee Posted 17 March 2011 Posted 17 March 2011 I honestly think it all boils down to going to work and enjoying it. And by this i mean choosing something what you are going to wake up and not mind going to work. I think you have to be passionate about your work. My mum quit for a year, a couple of years back, and after that year she couldn't wait to get back work. She hated doing nothing all day. A lot of family friends who are at the retirement age are wishing to carry on, because they say even a 4 day-off break, and they are bored! It is never to late to change career paths. I am only young, so maybe i am being narrow minded and naive, but in the course i am doing next year, there is a 45 year old and a 51 year old, wanting to change career paths. I think if you say to yourself , 'this is what i want to be', then you will be it. I just want to set up my own company when i am older, and work from home. Easier said than done, but it my mind is there, i think i can do it. Good luck to you lads, whatever you choose to do.
iBleedLeicesterColours Posted 17 March 2011 Posted 17 March 2011 Im 18, got a pension going, can't wait to retire. These people that enjoy getting up for work neeed their heads checking. Work to live, not live to work. With the spare time theres all sorts of hobbies and things to do. With money the possibilites are endless really.
Bryn Posted 17 March 2011 Posted 17 March 2011 I'll be a doctor in 3 years and 6 months, which is a ****ing scary thought. I'm gonna work hard, save the pennies, and retire ASAP to enjoy what I've amassed with my family.

I always wanted to save up by a house but i've figured lifes to short to settle down and i've seen thru my travels that you don't need heaps of possesions to be happy. So you're back from travelling now? Where did you go? I spent a year on Australia 5 years ago now and loved it. And I couldn't agree more that you don't need heaps of possessions to be happy.

Easier said than done, but it my mind is there, i think i can do it. Good luck to you lads, whatever you choose to do. Yeah you've got to be able to enjoy it. I wake up every morning paralysed by fear and depression. Trouble is, I don't know what it is I'd really enjoy apart from being a pornstar or footballer! I'm thinking that I really need to be my own boss like you say. That said, I've got absolutely no idea what I want to do or how to go about doing it. Im 18, got a pension going, can't wait to retire. These people that enjoy getting up for work neeed their heads checking. Work to live, not live to work. With the spare time theres all sorts of hobbies and things to do. With money the possibilites are endless really. Couldn't agree more. Your post reminded me of this quote which pretty much sums everything up for me: "It was true that I didn't have much ambition, but there ought to be a place for people without ambition, I mean a better place than the one usually reserved. How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?" - Charles Bukowski
