Don't like your job? Have a hobby?

This may seem a bit harsh, but as they say, "truth hurts" & "love stinks".

I've noticed more and more people disliking their jobs these days (Maybe I'm just working with those types), I have two questions to solve this: Do you have a hobby? Can you get paid for said hobby?

Generally, your job is 40 hours a week, out of a possible 168. You sleep more than you work. I know people have more than one job and some work more than 40 a week at one job, but in general 40 is the standard and if you have two jobs, chances are you like one
If you have a hobby, can you get paid for it? If you can, congrats, you'll like your job a helluva a lot more than the job you have now.
That's all radio is for me, a hobby. I wish it was more, and I'm working on that because I like it. My main job (the one that pays the bills) is a priority, but not as much as you think. With 168 hours in a week, don't be bitter about those 40 hours you have at a job you don't like. Quit or do something productive with the other 128 hours you have in the week.

I know not everyone can be 100% happy, but don't let a small chunk of your life bring down the rest of it. Find a hobby, and if you can make a living (or even somewhat of a living) off of it, go for it. You'll be a happier person.

I told myself to blog more in 2013.

I told myself I was going to blog more in 2013. So here we go.

That's all I really wanted this entry to be about. A quick shoutout that I'm adding "blogger" to my list of job titles, in addition to my job title at the retail gig and whatever title I give myself at the radio stations.

2012 was a good year. I got back in to the industry I love (radio) and I learned a little more about myself and learned to tolerate more.

If you're thinking "He's not really going to actually pay attention to this blog" and only have an entry every couple of months, you'dbe wrong. I have my second entry all ready thoughtout, the fingers just need to hit the keyboard. Lets just hope I don't find myself on e-bay buying more worthless electronics or overdoing the production elements on one of the radio stations.

Bring on 2013.
