My friend has such a cool job. He works with footy players and gets to spend all his time with them. I would love to have a job like that but unfortunately, I’m unemployed. I haven’t been able to hold down a job for the last five years and I don’t know why. It’s not me that’s the issue though – I’m sure of it.
My life is pretty boring these days because I have nothing to do. The most exciting part of my last week was having a conversation with the most professional drainage contractors operating in Melbourne and hearing what they do every day. Apparently, they spend their days fixing things, inspecting things, diagnosing things… it sounds really cool. I wouldn’t mind being a drainage contractor for the next couple of months until I inevitably decide that being a plumber isn’t for me.
That’s just the way life works these days. It’s the gig economy, you see. If I found myself a really cool job like my friend has then I probably wouldn’t leave the job so soon but alas, that has not been the case. I’m not fussed though. I work to live, not live to work. I wonder if the plumber I spoke to who specialises in unclogging blocked drains in Brighton works to live or lives to work. I should have asked him. That would have been an interesting conversation to have had. Oh well.
I think I might spend the next couple of days researching to find out what drainage plumbers actually do, how much it pays and whether it’s worth studying/training to become one. If it seems like a worthy venture, I’ll probably give it a go! It would be good to be entertained for the months leading up to my birthday and then I can splurge all the money I’ve saved on one big event. That’s capitalism, baby!
