The daily grind is trap. A trap that disperses possibility into tiny little pieces of conformity. Doing the same actions and expecting different results is pure stupidity.

Some argue that working for 50 years of your life to retire at 68 is no goal to look forward to. Standard retirement should be considered more like a “last case scenario” type of thing. In case everything else fails.
I knew disconnecting was going to be hard.
After working non-stop for the better part of the last 10 years. Today is my first day without a job, ask me how I started the day? Working.
I swear it was just one bug-fix and a quick deploy. It made me realize that you can’t kick a habit that easily. Not that there is anything wrong with working.
My first instinct was to deny the title of this post. There is no way that *everyone* I disagree with teaches me a life lesson.
That was my first mistake. It’s not about disagreements. It’s about passionate personal battles. You know the kind that keeps you up at night. The kind where you hate the person, albeit for a short amount of time. The kind that you catch yourself thinking about 5 or 10 years after it passed?
It’s pretty amazing the amount of stuff you learn when you are not paying attention.
I have learned that I do enjoy long car rides, as long as I know there is a new and exciting place at the other end.
