Duh/A-ha!

I just had one of those moments “a-ha” moments. Yes, you know, when you walk through a comic book and turn from a real life person into a line drawing, but when you look backward, you can see the real world you just came from.

Not really.

In reality, I was IMing with my friend today when the following conversation snippet ensued:

me: man, i wish i were wealthy sometimes
friend: ya? what would you do with it?
me: not work!!! 😀 read, write, sew, cook, watch tv, travel

Guess what, me? I already do all those things. I would want to quit work so I’d have more time to devote to the other things, but not because I dislike work or working. I enjoy a lot of what I do. There are things here and there as there would be for any job, but for the most part, I really enjoy my work, my coworkers, and my working environment.

Anyway, I digress. The point is that the things I’d really like to do, I’m already doing. What the?!

This reminds me of a blog entry I had made last summer and h’s response to it. It’s not even that I need more time to the degree that I need to quite my job or replace it with another job in which I’m being paid for what I enjoy, which is what I worried about in my response to her. I’m already there. I need to get better at time (and downtime) management, but that’s really it.

The mind boggles.
