    How do you view them?

    Have you ever noticed that some people work to live and others live to work?

    What about people with children and have to work multiple jobs?

    Do you respect people who work a lot or think they are wasting their time working for things they are never around to enjoy anyway?

    I pretty much only work as much as i need to live... I would rather play than work... I hate that im like this but oh well... I used to work 3 jobs totaling about 80 hours a week and was making about 800 a week... But i burnt out fast... I never had time to do anything fun... or even spend the money i was making....

    i think people who work in careers all their lives and dont achieve anything are wasting their lives.

    but at the same time i feel the world needs the huge majoirty of its people to waste their lives for it to function

    sad thought isn't it?

    "normal" in our times is going to school, going to college, working in college, getting a career, and developing some sort of depression or mental illness at some point in your life and even though people end up with nice things and nice houses and nice clothes, they are dead inside. I'm so worried I'll become one of those people. I don't think I will be because I can see the difference.

    I just get paranoid that I'm not living life it it's fullest.

    I worked alot, and I enjoyed it..
    Before though i worked three jobs, One full time and two part time.. It was hard at first, but i got use to it and enjoyed it.. I didnt really have anything to do when i was off so therefore i didnt mind going to work :D
    But now i only have my one full time job and i got alot more hours then i had before.. I enjoy working, it would drive me crazy if i didnt work as much as i did...

    I think if you have kids one parent should be at home-it doesn't matter which one. But if you don't have kids then it doesn't matter how much you work. I can say that I was happier and less stressed when I worked 70 hours a week then I am now working 20 hours a week.

    jeez, must be nice to have money and a plan like that. I can't imagine being so secure neither one of us had to work.

    I would like to be a stay at home mom fo rthe first 5 years, but shit happens and if I have to work to feed my baby I have no problem with it. Erik might. he wants me to be able to stay at home and support me.

    To me, people who think of nothing but work are a major buzz killer. They get on my nerves constantly talking about thier jobs(because thats the only life they have). I could give a fuck less about their job, because I care even less about mine. Work should stay at work, and then when you come home, forget about the bullshit. But NOOOOOO, no one wants to fucking do that.

    ha ha, I'm guilty of that. As soon as I come home during the "after work bowl" with my man I unload all the crap I put up with during the day.

    That would sound better to me than all the bitching about how your co-workers are all huge pieces of shit, and how you have to do their jobs for them day after day. And how the restrooms are filthy 3rd world restrooms that haven't been cleaned in decades. Not you specifically, but a certain person in my life.....

    Erik gets a HUGE earful because right now he works in the factory. I'm always asking him to get people moving and how what they're doing affects me in the office and what to expect from them work-wise because more than half the time, our manufacturers don't know what installation schedules my boss has.

    I can not work becasue if a severe anxiety problem. I am fine jsut talking to you guys generally but out in the real world where all the people seem to be judging me adversly. I also have fibromylgia, wich is a muscular problem. I don't really know what to do. Anyway, some of the people who work hard I admire, and even envy. I REALLY ENVY THE PAY CHECK! lol but People who work all the time but still never do anything I can't say I find that especially admarable. I don;t know how anyone works though I really don't understand it. I have tried to work and it just hurts my body so badly even in an easy job like telemarketing. Anyway, I worry about ppl who work a lot too. They seem to be closer to a heart attack then other people. I think the world needs a vacation
