Look, you get born, you keep your head down, and then you die. If you’re lucky.

  • Stop feeling guilty. You’re doing what they’re paying you for.

    I suggest with the rest of your time you start a side hustle. Doesn’t even have to be lucrative to start with since you’ve got this easy gig paying the bills.

    Write romance novels, build websites, create music, record ASMR videos, write a cooking blog, write a koi carp blog and monetise it through ads, build an Etsy store where you sell hand-carved cheese, or a Redbubble store where you sell t-shirt designs, an Instagram account where you post photos of the snails outside your window, a Pinterest account that only shares pinned photos of spoons (don’t do this one, I’m already all over it) … anything you can do around your main hustle commitments.

    You have the luxury of time to get something going. Who knows, maybe you’ll hit the motherload and your side hustle will overtake your main gig.





  • A can of Tennants lager in Scotland in the 70s, given to me by my maternal grandfather. Probably about 3.2% or 3.6% abv. Tennants cans had a picture of an attractive girl in a swimsuit on every can. A four pack would have four different girls. The one on my first can was called Isabel.

    First alcohol in a pub was from my paternal grandfather. I was fourteen. Grandpa ordered two pints of bitter. The barman asked him how old I was. “Eighteen. Scrawny little bugger in’t he?”
