Working for someone else is a mugs game, I agree. I'm not saying I'll never work for someone else again as it might need to happen pretty soon (skint!) but I'm certainly going to do what I can to set myself up with my own income source so I'm not reliant on some cunt of an employer who just wants me to work harder, for as little money as possible, so they can make more cash. Fuck them. Fuck corporations and the big businesses who make millions or billions a year but pay minimum wage and hire workers through agencies so they don't have to give them any rights, benefits, pension or pay rises and can screw them over and have them sacked in an instant and simply say "it's nothing to do with us". It can all get to fuck, there's no way I'm getting myself a 'career' and working in the same job for the rest of my life just so some other prick can get rich of my labour.

Independent income is the way forward. My goal is to have that and be location independent with nothing to tie me to a particular place. Come and go as my please.

I'm exactly the same mate. I was watching this program on the BBC yesterday about an experiment where people were allowed to bring their kids into the office, and this 34 year old woman was saying "Aww, I really want kids, but I don't want to jeopardise my career by doing it", and i'm thinking "What? You don't want to risk losing your meaningless senior position at a fucking taxi firm, so you're putting off something you know will make you really happy?" What is wrong with people, I don't know. I also understand the employers side of things. At the end of the day they're the ones taking the risks and putting their necks on the line employing people and running a business. If they make a loss they're the ones who swallow it and don't get paid and lose their houses, the employees still get their money and relative security. It does sort of work both ways.

At the minute the job market is pretty tight and if you're in a household where every penny counts you don't have much of an option.
Fair do's to her at least she ain't bringing up a child she can't afford too.

Not in pain though?
 
Na, started physio, was all a scare, my pain is coming from an understretched psoas tendon.... I get pain if I do a lot of uphill, or steps...work are letting me do van duties, parcel deliveries, collecting from Post Boxes, stuff that doesn't involve lots of steps uphill, leg raising....I can feel it...I doing exercises at home too...skullkrushas, bumbangers, nutcrackers, bavarian kneecapdrops etc, you know the score ;)

Yeah yeah I get all that, but she was talking about it harming her career progression if she took 6 months maternity leave. I mean she was already the head of HR, at what is just a taxi firm. There isn't really much higher up the ladder for her to go there. I just think it's fucked priorities to be honest!
 
Anyone know if the herbal smoking stuff (nicotineless and tarless) is any good? Always roll joints with a non smoker and it was toted as an idea

There is the baccy that has no nicotine in it, which tastes like shit. There is also the proper herbal tobacco, which is even shitter. I spent ages trying to work out something to use instead of tobacco so I could keep smoking spliffs, but it doesn't exist... well it kind of does, it's trimmings. But even they aren't what you're looking for really.

I can't understand people who think having a job is one of the single most important thing in life. A job is a load of meaningless bollocks for 99.9% of people. Not many people are doing things that are changing the world or saving lives and most people don't enjoy their jobs. I understand everyone needs money but it's not an important thing, it's just something you should do to get some cash to do the things you REALLY enjoy in life, and buying a house / car / widescreen tele and if you're really lucky a week in Tenerife doesn't really cut it IMO.

Last few years I've worked on and off, made some cash online and travelled a lot. Not really interested in sticking at a job I don't like (which would be almost all jobs I reckon), working 5 days a week, just to get 2 days off at the weekend. Not interested in having a house and a mortgage that I'm tied to for most of my life, spending all my money on car payments when I can easily get a bus or buying 'things' I don't need. My mum thinks I'm a lunatic and wasting my life, her thinking is that everyone should get a job and stick at it even if it's shit and you hate it because "it's a job, you need a job" and "that's what you have to do in life". She doesn't think I live in the real world, apparently struggling through life and working 40hrs a week for the rest of your life is 'real'. Fuck the real world then, sounds shit to me. She's constantly telling me my current lifestyle of job, quit, travel, new job isn't sustainable and I agree with her. So I'm going to try and make money online so I don't have to quit jobs, only travel for 5-6 months then find a new job but that's no good according to her apparently you need a 'proper' job you can't expect to make money online by yourself, it's not feasible or sustainable. Never mind that millions do it already and there's more ways to make money online than you could ever possibly try. The old fashioned idea of what work is and how it should be done is so engrained in her mind that she can't see any other way. And the fact is if I go get myself a 'proper' job I can guarantee I'll work it until I've got enough money then quit and go travelling again then be back in square one in 6 months time, skint and jobless.

Being my own boss and making my own money is clearly the only option for me. I don't know why more people don't want to do it.

TL;DR
 
^agreed, its gotta be the only way. My MD is such a fuckin loser, the only thing she has in life is her job and its the only thing she cares about. So much so that when my little boy was in hospital for longer than we expected she moaned at me for staying with him and not coming back to work, and even said...... Get this...... "i think you need to have a good think about where your priorities lie". That is the gods honest truth, that's how blind to real life some jobsworth cunts can become.

My uncle had the same attitude. He ended up going to live in Goa for like a decade. He'd do a bbq on the beach for a few hours twice a week, sell food to tourists at western prices (we're talking like selling a bit of chicken for the amount it cost him to eat for a week), and then just before monsoon season go and help with the hash harvesting in the north and get paid in hash to smoke throughout the monsoon til the tourists came back :D He died a while ago though. Didn't leave a will or nothing, even though he owned an apartment in Goa. So there's quite possibly just an empty apartment, or most likely an apartment being inhabited by whoever realised it was unclaimed for an extended period lol.

It's really your responsibility to prove your way of doing things is feasible rather than always bouncing home to sponge off your mum. Until you do that, she's going to think you're a dick.

If your idea of making money online doesn't involve actually doing something useful, she's right!
 
^I wouldn't believe it unless I knew plenty of people in senior positions with such a warped mindset. The scum really does rise to the top, there's no getting round it. Shit one dude - hope your lad's ok now.

Why not just smoke pure weed? I can't understand why people need to mix it with something.
 
Makes it go further? I've only come across people smoking pure grass joints a couple of times and my first thought was they must have money to burn or their grass must be cheap.
