    Well, I finally took a day off work today, the first one since January 02 2016.

    It finally dawned on me to start booking time off prior to my annual hunting trip.
    So on Friday I headed out to do some deer hunting/recce some new hunting areas in central Alberta, instead of my normal stalking areas in Northern/North Central Alberta.

    Personally I think I’m at the end of my employment matters rope.
    For the first time in over 3 decades, I was incommunicado to my “employers”. I shut the work cell phone off, told nobody where I was going. I shut down my personal cell phone and actually relaxed for the first time since the end of last November.

    Anyhow, today I cleaned and reorganized all my hunting gear and rifles, cleaned the house, did all the laundry, attended a doctors appointment, refilled prescriptions, prepared supper so I only have to warm it up now, perused may favourite forums (MGTOW.com if you haven’t figured that out šŸ™‚ ). All in less than 6 hours, and still handle calls from work when I turned the f~~~ing electronic umbilical cord on.
    Not bad for a basement dwelling loser who cant get laid. IMHO

    After a few conversations with “work”on my day off no less, I figure I’ll soon be taking an extended hunting season right up to the end of December.

    F~~~ it, I’m not working myself to death only to be belittled, insulted, and my workload minimized constantly by weak assed people who cant lift 20 f~~~ing pounds without help. (Seriously, that’s the new policy for weight restrictions one person can lift).

    I figure if those sperm gurgling, panty wasted, fire plug squatting, desk flying, dildo sucking, two faced, cowardly meat sacks don’t fire me by Friday, I’m just going to tap dance my old ass, exit stage right style, out the f~~~ing door before I actually lose my temper and get myself into some real trouble.

    What prompted this chain of thought was actually seeing the stars in the sky on a clear night away from all the noise, distractions, and all around garbage that passes for civilization/society in the s~~~ hole I exist in.

    You know, the milky way is actually quite beautiful when you’re laying out in an open field in the dark.
    Maybe I’ll take up smoking that “wackie tabackie” all you young folks are all a-jabbering about legalmalizing.
    Possibly just to help me to enjoy the peace and quiet and the night sky again.

    It has finally dawned on me that I damaged my body enough in my former career, where f~~~ing up meant somebody could die, that exacerbating my injuries and pain working at a s~~~ job where the worst possible thing that can happen is a customer WILL get miffed about the slightest damn thing they can dream up, really isn’t worth my time, efforts, nor mental commitment.

    Ironically, my doctor told me today, I really have to slow down and stop being “b~~~~ to the wall, 100% satisfaction guaranteed” all the time or I’m going to work myself to death sooner than later, and they will just hire another dips~~~ like me to take my place anyhow.
    No amount of money should be worth more than living life well first.

    Hunting deer and elk for the next few months is actually looking better and better by the hour.

    Just a wee rant to clear my head, and sort out my own direction is all.

    Thanks for reading

    Hey brother,if your taking an extended hunting vacy
    give the North Peace region of BC a try out too.
    I do most of my hunting there and meet up with hunters
    from all over the world,they like to call it the Serengeti of the north. Lots of big game and nice terrain,weathers pretty much the same as Northern Alta
    too.

    Lifes a bitch,but you don't have to marry one!

    Working for someone else is no better than being married IMO.

    Well here’s the update for today.

    I am now on an extended hunting season.

    Just one too many bulls~~~ demands, added caveats, and generally being swamped at work for 1 person to handle. Then comparing the workload of a complete warehouse (where the “system” takes care of the majority of the admin, and several positions that do several aspects) to a 1 man operation doing the exact thing, only manually doing the work that the “system”, and several employees do at the main branch.

    I lasted 2.5 hours today before I had enough, after a call from the ops t~~~ with another demand, and him refusing to send the person who was actually hired to work at my shop to assist me.
    A lot of employers/managers think people cant get/find jobs after they walk out, or are fired. I just happen to be in a position where I don’t NEED a job, the extra money is a great thing, and affords me greater spending power, don’t get me wrong on that. This one just over estimated their importance to me, and under estimated my self worth.

    Part of the irony is that the only thing that keeps me off the “severely disabled” list, is pure determination, anger, and my pride.

    On the plus side, a longer hunting season, no work, and less taxes to be paid for this year. (WTF is this silver lining s~~~ šŸ™‚ )
