It is very satisfying work. It's hard, long hours, and the pay is only what I need. I feel like I'm living well within my means considering the paltry sum I accumulate, and once a month i can still afford a capitalist merchandise item such as a video game. I'm thinking of getting Red Dead Redemption or Modern Warfare 2... they both are a distinctly high possibility.

I don't know why me working harder, longer, and more chaotically as a dishwasher is so much more satisfying then when I did absolutely nothing but got paid $2,050 a month for it... I only bring home maybe $600 a month now, my boyfriend brings home like $1,000-$1,200, so we are living quite comfortably, saving some money, affording what we need, some of what we want (like an air conditioner... ******** never had a clear idea of what working productively in society would feel like (having only been a Marine and a salesperson) and I have to say... it feels very nice and rewarding. I'm sure I'd feel more resentful and pissed off about my wage job later on, as the hours start to make me crazy and pissed, but for right now, 1 month in I'm still doing fine. All my debts have been paid off, too, except for my truck, which has been repossessed.

I think I can actually dig myself out of this hole I made, which nearly swallowed me up.

Lol. I was thinking of getting employed by the government as a dispositions officer... you can smoke weed and grow your hair way out. I decided against it though because I'm tired of traveling the world for now.

I just want to lead a simple life, love honestly, get paid modestly, and do my part to touch people's lives... ******** power, ******** corruption, ******** greed, I just want to live a simple man's life.
