Job (or: 'gl gl')

Well, so much for that nine-to-five mentality.
It's noon and I'm only out the bed.
I was up late, pretty much just 'being there' for a friend.
She's been through some really heavy shit lately and I know I'm 'important' to her, and she to me, so obviously it's indeed important to show support - even if it's just to sit in the semi-dark obeying the request to 'ramble on'.

She's feeling quite good about having to be forced into work by the government. And now that I think of it, it could be just the thing she needs - some 'Real Life' interaction, out and about on the streets.

I spoke quite a bit (as I can tend to on most subjects) about my feelings on working 'for the man'.
Time is precious, and my time is priceless.
I resent having to be at a certain place at a certain hour to spend a certain few more hours for a price.
I don't care what the reason is - it could be the most ideal, fulfilling and most well paid job in the world, I will absolutely resent giving up my time (whether or not I would use it productively myself) for cash - especially within a hard-set time frame.
If I need to spend my time staying up late for a friend, I know that that time spent is indeed well spent, even if it means I wake as afternoon hits, groggy and less motivated about tasks I need to do for myself the next day.
If I had to cut our interaction short so I could be begrudgingly awake early to grudgingly drudge into the daily fudge [it rhymes and you know it does] of some bullshit job, I would be far less of a decent person than I feel I might be because I did the opposite and kept my tired ass awake to 'work' at a reciprocal relationship.
Time spent which is indeed priceless to me.

On the other hand, I do acknowledge that 'working from home' can promote a solitary and hermetic existence and this is ideal for only a handful of people.
Being forced into a social environment on a daily basis is a very healthy thing. That's not to suppose that the people you'll engage with will become anything approaching 'friends', but the influence of having to work together with people is certainly to be promoted [pun!].

Maybe I too should get a 'job thing'.
