First, one of the greatest, Eric B and Rakim. "Paid in Full" to celebrate having my student loan totally paid off and gone!
Today was a horrible day at work. A day where I was almost afraid of getting asked not to come back the next day. Yeah, that bad.
A day that made me question why I was even there. The answer? Greed. My own pure and simple lust for money and things I could buy with it. One month of work, $10,000. That's hard for most people to say no to. . . .
In the throes of my mental anguish today at work, I wondered if it really was worth it. Was the psychological and emotional bill I was paying worth the cash and things I'd hoped to gain in return?
At that moment it definitely did not feel so to me. Then the feeling of self loathing started to pile on. A recognition that it was my own greed that had brought me there. Greed and desire. Seemingly the two motivators that have caused me most of life's troubles. Had I forgotten my knowledge of 'self' so thoroughly I couldn't have foreseen this conflict ahead of time? Am I my own worst enemy?
Is it worth it? I don't know. Do I even still want to buy all of those things? Some, not others. I need a new laptop 'cause I broke the old one into pieces. Nothing wrong, it just didn't structurally hold up past two years of Rowdy usage. I'd like a new gun before they ban them all. Some motorcycle parts. That's about it...
We'll see how I feel on my last day of this assignment, February 8th.

Buck up kid. Think about it, one month of work and you are making more than what most people make in 3 months. Or something like that. Tough it out, and perhaps there was an F up today or it was a bad day or something, but you are lucky that you don't have to work 5 days a week all year... minus a vacation.
ReplyDeletePlus, aren't you covering for someone? So, its not all just greed and desire, I bet you're helping someone out.
