So I'm not particularly fond of my day job. I honestly can't think of too many people who absolutely love theirs'. I know there are a few but most people I know would much rather be doing something much more fulfilling. So at 5 o'clock when the whistle to knock off sounds, we all rush out into traffic to sit for an hour or so in an attempt to hurry up and get home. And when we finally get home... we sit on our asses (donkeys make great couches) all evening watching TV. They could've stayed at work!
I know not everyone behaves this way. Some of us actually go home and do something productive. I find myself in this category more often than not lately. Work feels really strange now. Walking in with the knowledge that I will not be working there in 5 years, of my own decision this time, feels fantastic. All the little things that used to bug me don't really phase me anymore. I think its short-timers complex with a twist. I honestly find myself working harder at work than I used to. It makes the time feel like it passes faster and I can actually get home and get to the real work that is going to put me out there in the Caribbean much sooner.
Its a great feeling to know that my future at my current occupation is already decided. Every once in a while if I lose that feeling and get angry or frustrated, I just pull up a blog about living aboard, a boat manufacturer's page, or even just some photos of some of those lesser known destinations in the south pacific. Afterwards.......
So yeah... I'm short timing with 5 years to go.
