First One


Today I started my hopefully weekly blog about work, my work, other work, or just in work in general.
I have been working now for like 6 years in different jobs. Most of them were at offices doing mostly light administrative work. Nowadays I still do administrative work, in a bank. I have this job now for more than two years and it is the first job I have had for so long. The company gave me a car to go to all the places they need me to go. It used to be an Opel Corsa, but in august I received a new one, since the leasecontract had ended on the Opel. Now it's a Renault Clio, the latest model. Nice to drive, you don't really have to work in it, so you can save all your energy for the work that needs to be done on a daily basis.

Sometimes I wonder if it is possible to not work at all. But then I start to ask myself how I can pay the bills that will be stacking up in no time. Life have become expensive to live, so work is a necessarity to try and pay all the bills that come in my mailbox on regular base. I sometimes see homeless people and I wonder if I could ever be like that, without though the usual addiction to booze and drugs. Just be homeless and not have to worry about working all day. Maybe I'm romantising the homeless factor too much, because most of the homeless people I see look, quite frankly, like shit. And I'm a bit of a vein person, I do like to look good for myself and for the people that see me during a day or night.

By the way, the dude on the right is me.
