Most people escape the rat race by a), which generally means they’re running the hamster wheel for most of their lives, and only get to truly “enjoy” the last 10-20 years or so. That’s not an approach I would personally call ideal, or even acceptable. Ah yes, amen to results! Isn’t that what our whole economy is based on, producing results, so it only makes sense to work in a way where results over time is emphasized.

Most of the times I have had ‘real’ jobs my bosses really didn’t care about what time I came in or what time I left. Since I work in the software industry most of my work is deadline based. So no one really cares if you work 30 hr weeks or 80 hr weeks. What really matters is if you completed your task and does it work. I am kind of gifted in the fact that I can get things done quickly and correctly so at times I have been able to go after other pursuits.

Keep your nose to the grindstone and the world will be your oyster. You spent a lot of time improving yourself and working to sarge women. Why not put as much energy into finding a new job? Once you have found your true calling in life, all the rest will fall into place. Have you ever been to the zoo and watched the animals pace and tic in their enclosures, driven mad by the lack of stimulation and from being trapped?

Your blog is typically full of highly insightful posts and I commend you for working to improve yourself and your life. Yes, work sucks. But it’s a job and many people are unemployed right now. The economy sucks and gas is over $4 a gallon. You better shape up or you will find yourself standing in the unemployment line too. The best time to be looking for a job is when you already have a job. If you got canned from your current job for showing up late and not doing any work, how would you explain that to a perspective employer??

Thanks for stopping by. I haven’t read your book yet but it’s on my list and I love the concept of ROWE and hope that it will eventually be adopted by many of the country’s businesses. It just makes sense. I’m not familiar with the casino working environment but it sounds terrible. I think sometimes when someone hates a job so much, that it is essential to just quit. It seems a lot of people will simply stay in job, no matter what, because they feel they have no other options.
