Welcome To The Real Life

Been a long time since i updated this blog and the main reason is simply because i have not had the time. Finishing college led me into a 16 hour part time job that has immediately risen to over 40 hours per week and more or less full time. Its great to be earning a decent amount of money as ultimately, this is one of the most important things in life itself. To be earning, to be successful and be able to stand on your own two feet and not rely on family/friends all of the time needs some sort of money input. The only thing i have started to miss is time off to do things that i would like to do.

Shopping, socializing and relaxing are all off the agenda and have been for some time now. Now i know you shall all be saying 'Well just do those things after work' but this is pretty hard especially when the majority of the time i am finishing at 8pm after a 10-12 hour shift. I have come to a conclusion that i am now in real life and have entered the real world where work is a major priority that always seems to come first before anything else. The odd day off i get very now and again also doesn't help as its normally spent recovering from all the hours of hard work i have put in throughout the week.

Even when the manager passes me my wage slip and thanks me for yet another month's worth of hard work i can not enjoy it. I merely place it into my pocket and crack on with the daily jobs as i would of done on any other day of the month. I have no time to even spend the money and so, apart from paying my rent for each week, it stays in the account gaining that little bit of interest now and again which in some ways is a good thing.

A well deserved holiday in the Dominican Republic is booked for November/December ... that is if i can get the time off work!
