I Just Finished One Week at a Real Job

WOW I had truly forgotten how hard mainstream work can be. I just completed my first week at the office of my new employer and mentally and physically I am wiped out.

All those years sitting at a poker table made me softer than I could even imagine I was. I see now why some of the newer pros don't eat at the casinos anymore and tend to workout before coming in to play. A trend that has been growing over the past year or so.

Anyway, mainstream work sucks but I cannot dwell on it. I made my own bed and must sleep in it .... even though the lure of the WSOP starting at month end has me a bit distracted. But then I look at my bank balance and understand why I won't be there this year :(

John of course wrote this song ... so you can enjoy the more laid back original OR ...

And for those who like there music a bit more eclectic sounding :lol:

Congratulations on having a job. I may have to do the same thing based on my medical bills this year. I was hoping that wasn't going to be the case, but I didn't expect the size of my medical bills. Oh well. We'll see.

There's a lot to be said for the many positive effects of a healthy meal and a good workout in the morning!

Make yourself do it every other day, start slow, you'll improve! I barely made it to rowing 500m and couldn't jog/run continuously for 3 minutes when I started, am now able to go 10X those numbers and do many other things I couldn't imagine doing before!

Now, I swear I have more energy when I get up early and hit the gym than when I just roll over and sleep all morning!

I have never had a "real" job but, on the other hand, I never intend to retire, either. ^_^

Question: Do you want to have regular hours, regular pay, vacations, holidays, days off, a "normal" family life and happy, predictable relationships with others?

Answer: What and leave aviation?

Best regards,

RA1

I need to practice flying planes so I can be your co-pilot if something happens when you pilot very old... I will fix you martini when you finish flying. I will be one of those wives who handle emergency landing for the illness stricken husbands. ^_^ I don't like bad hair in those news reports though..

On days when I know I will be sitting at the computer working from 8:30 to 5, I always take the dog for at least a one mile walk before I sit down to work, and if the weather is appropriate, I also try to swim during my lunch break. I eat a light breakfast and lunch on those days, because I know I'll be tempted to snack while I'm working.

You are so sensible, Charlie! ^_^ That's why you are so healthy I guess.

EXPAT you are so talented and full of energy.. It's waste of talent to retire such a young age... ^_^
