Hello my most darling blinky. I am sure when I look back to contemplate why it is I fail my physics test on Monday I will probably blame my procrastinating ways on here. Please remind me at that point that I am writing because I am stuck and my head hurts more than I am writing because I wilfully wish to procrastinate.
I am not sure how much I take a liking to today's topic though. What's more important, where you live or what you do for a living? I'm not entirely sure if what you are asking is a chicken or the egg question of a question of my personal values and what I value more.
I suggest chicken or the egg because what you do for a living controls where you live and it is a widely held social opinion that where you live controls what you do for a living. I am certainly of the opinion that what you do for a living has a much more concrete connection on where you live than the other way around but certainly there is some impact on what you do for a living based on where you live. You don't get many professional fisherman in the middle of the dessert.
In short, which one has the greater controlling factor on the other I'm going to say what you do for a living... but that is probably not what the question is asking you.
Shanghai day 9, Apartment Building
Ok what is most important to me personally - where I live or what I do? Is it ok to say neither? I am much more inclined towards it being WHY I do it and WHO I do it with. I've lived in everything from single room with shared facilities to a 4 room cottage in North Carolina with my mum and brother to my family's home in suburban Caboolture. I have to say that neither geographical location nor physical space or 'stuff' has much to do with it.
What I do for a living, its handy and certainly I couldn't live very well without it, even my location of where I live is dependent on my job. To quit would be to move. Nobody goes to work and has a good day vs a bad day over the amount of money they earn - unless you work for commission then the two concepts probably do overlap. A good day at work is more meaningful that that - and if its not for you I recommend you find a new job.
A good day at work as often as not for me is achieving something productive, or sometimes simply having a good conversation with a friend is enough to lift my day up. Certainly not getting into trouble and not encountering some new assignment or whatever makes it good.
I'm going to cut myself short at the this point to get back to work but put simply. I work to have money, to live freely, and so long as I have a bed, a computer, food and good company I'll be happy enough where-ever I am. Though Australia is my first preference of course. A beautiful eucalypt against a rich blue sky there isn't any view better... Life is short and heaven is better than anything I could have upon this earth. Friends are the ones who stand the most chance of being forever.
