How does this work?

Thursday, October 27th, 2005 by Kevin Teljeur

Get up early. Commute. Work. Engage*. Commute. Home late. Eat.Sleep.

In between fits getting in touch with friends, email, phonecalls, writing for this site and trying to develop some software (which is as close to a hobby as I’ll get right now). Somewhere in there is the bones of a lifestyle.

This isn’t quality of life. Now, I don’t want to complain about what I do have, but this is not something i’ll look back on fondly in later years. Maybe it’s a self-discipline issue?

On a related note, I was thinking again about the possibility (as I did late last year) about working in the Civil Service somewhere, trying to improve the quality of life for other people, planning things so that they don’t have hours of commute, so that things are where they should be for the community, so that people generally have a better life. Seems to me like it beats sticking my finger up someone’s arse and then wondering how come they didn’t like it. Excuse the crudeness of that last turn of phrase, but that’s sometimes what it feels to me that I’m doing; I’m certainly not improving anyone’s life right now and I think that’s what I should be doing.

Incidentally, I think I’m good for about 6 and half large right now, so aside from personal debt (and I’ve finally got a hang of the balance between personal debt and credit) I think I’ve got options. I should check these out over the coming week…

* How I hate that work as an expression of social interaction.
