"Living the dream"
The dream:

@[email protected] For most people, a job is simply a means to an end. I've never really liked a single job that I've had. But they've all given me the resources to do things that I love. And for that, I'm grateful.

@[email protected] word

@[email protected] controversial opinion: very, very fee people can have "dream" anything -- dream jobs, dream houses, dream kitchens, dream PC setups, anything. The positivity industry's insistence that dream lives are available to everyone (everyone who "believes in themselves", buys their book / seminars / essential oils or even just tries hard enough) has done incalculable damage to mental health.

I don't dream of working, at all.

@[email protected] I always suggest something you can do, that people will pay you to do, that doesn’t suck.

@[email protected] Here’s mine: Every job, including your dream job, is going to feel like work part of the time. I love writing code, but eventually I have to debug something I hate because, well, it needs to be done.

Don’t quit doing something you enjoy just because it’s not 100% engaging for 100% of the time.

@[email protected] I had to retire last year to find my dream job.

@[email protected] Absolutely. Some of us are broken coffee cups just trying to glue ourselves back together. https://inkican.com/broken-coffee-cups-altruistic-affirmations-for-2024/

@[email protected] yeah, I don't dream of work. I dream of watching this intolerable society rot beyond it ever being something in control of evil rich overlords ever again.

@[email protected] Any job is one interest rate hike or stock market drop from turning into a nightmare. That is why the safety nets matter!
