So I was going to write a list of all the reasons that being jobless stinks and such...but wow that would be a bummer of a list, and I didn't think I should go there. Not when I'm already fighting off the negative nellies (is that a thing? I just made that up...). So here is an alternative list of reasons why having a JOB is AWESOME.
1. When your friends get married, you have money to buy plane tickets and go to the wedding.
2. When you need to see a doctor or a dentist, you have medical coverage and can do so.
3. When you have bills piling up...well, the bills don't pile up so much because you have a job.
4. When you want to get away to visit your pals in Vegas, you hit the road.
5. When you want to get away, period, whether to the mall or Vegas, you have a car. That you can drive. And get out with.
6. When you want to buy a gift for a friend or family member for a birthday, wedding or other exciting event, you can go buy it without concern about breaking the bank.
7. When you realize that your phone is on it's last leg, or your computer (don't worry five year old MacBook, you will always be my first love and please pretty pretty please don't die on me) for that matter, you know you don't have to worry about replacing it.
8. When you need some good running shoes because yours are ripped and torn and really you know you shouldn't be running on them, you just go out and get a new pair.
9. When you want to help out with a good cause...like donating money to a charity...you don't think twice about it. You just do it.
10. When you want to go to Sephora for some new perfume, or to Downeast Basics for a shirt, or Barnes & Noble for a book, you don't stress yourself out thinking about whether you can afford it.
11. When you finish out the day, you feel like you've contributed something to humanity.
There are reasons to be grateful, and I know that. I'm not suggesting otherwise. I'm just saying that these are the reasons that I enjoy being employed.
