Any job you're happy in? As long as you're happy (and not a detriment to those close to you) what really matters?

Excellent post, completely agree with what you were taught.
A lot of people don't seem to enjoy life and it stems from their paranoia about their careers.

I am a few beers in, but I read your post as "whatever job you can get, just take it"
Basically CouchPotato summed up my thoughts.
I have done jobs I'm not happy in. But it's always been very temporary, and never persistent.
It's soul crushing seeing people in jobs that they hate and they can't find a way out. It's soul crushing enough for me and I'm not even them. I'm just listening to them, or watching them destroy themselves from a distance. So I can only imagine what it's doing to them.

Well hate to break it to some people, but the world isn't all rainbows, sundaes and puppies. Reality is people have bills and your bills don't give a * whether you're happy, unhappy or otherwise. By all means chase a career and aim high but don't refuse to do it tough in a temporary job just because you see it as beneath you.

Don't think I said that - done lots of crappy jobs over my lifetime but only until I found another job that I thought I might like. That was the "rule" - you couldn't leave one job till you had another so there was always going to be some crap jobs along the way.
In saying that, it would be a pretty sad state of affairs if you had to stay in a job just to pay the mortgage - you would hope you would be learning a new skill with the view to being able to move on
It'd be suffocating, particularly if you have those that depend on you for everything they hold dear.

I'm grateful to have a job I love. Can't wait to go every morning.
Anyway - a friend of mine just texted me and told me about a mutual friend of ours who apparently posted a 'selfie' (ugh) of herself at a relative's wake with the coffin in the background. I don't think I've ever been annoyed by something so much (I cringe at the thought of what goofy, wacky cornball hashtag she used).
Yuck.

use of "world record" to describe a record in footy (afl).
You seem to have a real personal vendetta against Stratton_Gun

How about work colleagues that sing at their desks? Not just humming to themselves either, singing out aloud (usually in unison with their friend sitting next to them). It's infuriating.

The idiotic use of '-gate' to make some goofy viral moment or 'social media storm' out of a complete non-event like the colour of some broad's dress or fat ass twerking at an award ceremony. Enough already.

My ex (when we were still dating) saw one of my Nixon books in my bookshelf many years ago and I mentioned how I love reading about Watergate and she literally thought it was a scandal about water prices or a water utility provider. This is someone who once chided me for not knowing what girl group Beyoncé was in.

Thankfuly I don't have that problem. They get drowned out by the various bit of machinery going.

I wish the machinery in my head (grinding gears and blowing gaskets) would drown it out. I sometimes have to put my Beats headphones on.

I've got a turret punch. When that's belting holes in thick steel you can't have a conversation with a person standing next to you.

Has anybody else got it? Other countries do play footy. Its a world record.
The biger problem is US only leagues that have World Championships/Series.
