I’ve Got News For You

I’ve got news for you, work and making others work is passe.

We should enjoy what we do, no one has the right to make anyone’s life a misery.

I’ve worked all my life and now I realise I was a cog in someone else’s wheel doing what needed to be done to earn an income. Most of it useless.

You know the worst thing though, who made my life most miserable were my peer group of fellow workers. It was them who introduced pointless competition and wanted to impress middle management with petty trophies , while middle management in turn wanted to impress senior management.

It wasn’t about doing the job , it was about making an impression.

And now, well all that’s behind me. So I can laugh at it and really I am pleased I kept my sanity.

Funny I was talking to the taxman yesterday as the final closure on my “working life” and he said when will you get your next payslip? I said I don’t get payslips I’m retired. My only source of income is my pension. It struck me , his assumption was that people would work forever. I suppose that’s what tax people believe.

Perhaps there is a lesson there too.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏
