No Celery Please

I have, I suspect, one of the easiest jobs on the face of the planet.

I sit in a chair all day, typing away on a computer. I do not have stressful deadlines.  I often do not even have so much to do that I need to “work” the entire 9 hours I am sitting in my chair.  I spend time on blogs, the news, facebook, etc.

In addition to all this, I am ridiculously well paid for what I do, and my bosses adore me and think I am hugely productive and an all around excellent employee.

My company has fantastic benefits. How many places still even HAVE an actual pension plan?

So what do I do with all of the above?

I’ll tell you what… I wish like all hell that I didn’t have to work.  I wish I was wealthy and could spend my days indulging in hobbies and sporting activities, and other fun things.  I wish I did not have to get up in the morning.  I spend each day wondering if it’s 5pm and / or Friday yet.  Sometimes I wish I just had a simple job working at a coffee shop or want to move to montana and live off the land with a herd of goats.

I ought to be ashamed of this (and I am, just a teeny bit).  But still…  Is it so much to ask that I just be handed everything I want without having to actually do anything to get it?  Where’s my giant prize check for a million dollars?

Sigh – I suppose it is.
