Blogger Apathy
I have not been writing much lately. I have had so much on my mind that I cannot bring myself to sit down and write about it. That is the odd part. We have these blogs so we can put our thoughs to "paper" in the hopes of reaping the theraputic benefits. I suppose that I am not in the mood for therapy. Or maybe I'm just lazy.
When did life get so complicated? Sometimes I wish that I could be one of those guys that just shows up to work, does his time, and then goes home to work on his own projects.
When you work for yourself, your business is your life. That's the choice you make. If it is not your life, you will not be in business very long. You hope that the freedom to carve you own path outweighs the worry and hard work.
My sister's in-laws were visiting them once. When asked how her trip was going, her mother-in-law replied "I'm sleeping through the night and having regular bowel movements, so everything is ok".
Sometimes (on mornings such as this one), I wish life was a just little simpler.

Oh goodness! I was just thinking the same exact thing (not about the bowel movements, but the "simpler" life) just minutes before I read this post.
A certain someone that I know gets paid about 42% more than I do a year (not that that is really hard to do, given my measly salary) and works this wonderful 8am to 5pm schedule, getting off for an hour lunch to come home and watch TV and then getting home at night to loaf around and do whatever she wishes.
I long for those days.
I feel like I work for myself too, especially in the fact that I am only hired on a semester at a time basis and the competition in this area for teaching positions is stiff (even good people don't get jobs!). Any slacking on my part is unacceptable. Though this type of work is rewarding at times, that kind of pressure sucks.
So, though the stakes aren't as high for me as they are for you ... I do emphathize with you. I really do. Your burden is heavy.
