Get in car and drive for 20 minutes to get to work.

 

Get to work and start day by seeing how much of a mess the loaders have going in my truck. Around 6:45 am.

 

6 fucking days a week.

 

The earliest I get home is 4 pm on Tuesday. Every other day between 4:30 and sometimes as late as 6pm.

 

6 days sucks.

 

The more they keep me on that job the less I want that job.

 

The money is not worth not being able to take care of what needs done at home. The money is not worth the aggravation of having a fucked up route and driving in the Lansing area.

 

There is more to life than money.

 

Work over here ----------------------------------- Life over here.

 

I do not want to mix the two.

 

There needs to be a balance.

 

If you want to work your life away, that is your problem. Personally, I think you are part of the problem that needs to be eradicated.
