Working for The Man

If money were out of the equation, would you still work? If yes, why, and how much? If not, what would you do with your free time?
I would. I need the time out of the house to do something for me, and if it’s ‘only’ for me, I’ll never get around to it. If I have a job to go to, I will.
Are we assuming that I’ve won the lottery or something and am set for life? Then I’d open a bakery. I’d hire someone to run it so I could do the fun stuff, like bake. Someone who gives a crap about running a business.
Or are we assuming that all my bills are paid, not that I have spare millions? Then I’d deliver pizzas. Because that is the most fun job ever. For reals.
But just a couple days a week, so I’d have plenty of time to write and sew and stuff.
Pizza delivery- yeah. Zoom into the unknown, knowing not whom you are going to meet. Indeed exciting.
It’s not really *that* much unknown; the pizza business is all about repeat customers. But when there are surprises, they are indeed grand!
I think I would probably just keep doing the job I do now. Sounds lame but I have never not worked in my adult life and I really enjoy my job. I’d probably take a sabbatical though.
If you love it, it doesn’t sound lame at all! Hence the pizza delivery for me. 🙂
