Recently I've realized that "free time" is over rated, even though just a year ago I dreaded the long days in civil service. Though the circumstance was different since it was essentially forced work inflicted by government and the "pay" wasn't that good. This was exactly the reason it was boring af - the demand for work was artificial and not really needed. Reminds of some Soviet story where people had a job of holding toilet paper. Lol. Not sure how true that is, but it's funny nonetheless.

There wasn't much to do, for which I had to just distract myself at a computer. Luckily there was Steem though so I could put that time for use :D

Now with the new job though, it is completely the opposite: there's little space to get distracted (other than couple breaks) as it is constant engagement with the task at hand, but I have little problems with that even though it can last for 13 hours. Probably, because the extra hours pay well, which in turn allows me to build myself a better financial foundation.

A lot of people talk about "wage slavery", but how many of them have really taken the time to plan their finances and take aside the 5-10% or even just 10€ for the future? To me it seems like most who are inflicting the slavery narrative unto themselves, are not considering if what they buy is truly a necessity, or just a want. Slave to their compulsive need for spending, more like.
Just a thought.
