The JOB - Part II

Well, I managed to finally leave work last night at 10:30pm. Including travel time, I spent a total of 15 hrs dedicated to my JOB. If that isn't incentive to master REI, I don't know what is. It's days like that really opens my eyes to how enslaved I (and most of us) are to the "paycheck". Several times last night, I felt like saying 'The hell with it' and leave the office, get in my car, and drive home. But I really can't. I am a corporate slave.

It burns me that my company got a "free" 7 hours from one of their employees (since I am salaried, I don't get overtime). It burns me that I had plans, and they were all scratched because 'we have to get this done today!' But most of all, it burns me because I just spent 5 (additional) hours of my life - time I can't get back - working for someone else, and at the same time not enjoying what it is I wanted to do: be with my family.

Needless to say, I will be ramping-up my venture even more now.
