…go read about someone who’s kind of down, you kind of feel better that your life is not as shit as theirs.

But yeah, I like the idea of doing something different in the morning/night. As for working in different place like a fish and chips shop, I think my secret dream job is to work at Boost Juice....

Real world can get familiar and mundane as well. i say consciously reduce your work hours. I find I work better with less time. And also agree with Toan in experimenting with something different (not necessarily a job though). For me photography isn't just about photography, it's also an excuse to get off my arse and explore and try to look differently and meet new people. Buy some of that clay like stuff and make your own little toy/figurines in the mornings and work in the afternoon.. Sure you could find markets or stalls to sell em at, or just for your own collection. don’t go emo on me johnny.

I think I know where the problem is. We're both involved in start-up businesses. I think the fact that we're comfortable with coming-in late or what ever allows us to do so. The reason why you're probably turning up in time for the physio is because of unfamiliar territory. ie. the hospital and stuff. And maybe unconciously, you don't want to be late to let them down. How this makes you happy I'm uncertain. It might be a mix of the staff smiles and the fact that you're achieving your 9.30am check-ins. Maybe it's time for us to go work in the REAL-real world. ;) Hmm.

I'm similarly losing direction with all things work. I dunno, the fire is gone. Everything is a chore, an effort, a requirement. My daily crew still keeps it fun with Jase, but outside that, I'm really fighting to not burn my whole day doing shit all. I'm going through a deep life-restructure I'd say. Changing sleeping hours is a bitch, but you do feel better getting up when you want. 8am some days, 9.30am other days. Go to bed earlier, it helps. What is really driving me right now is health. Hospsital for physio work a couple of days a week, and going to the gym another few times a week. These are the times I love right now. My whole week revolves around those hour or two times a day. I enjoy it, I feel I accomplish something, I can see and feel the change. Really, it's what I live for right now. Checking in at 9.30am, the friendly staff smiles, the feeling of yes.. this has purpose. In just over a week it ends. Then what the fuck do I do? Honestly, I dont know.. we are floating. Props for speaking from the heart.
