    Life in a nutshell. Never make your hobby your job, because you’re going to hate it.

      I’ve tried it too many times…

      Music? Check. Film? Check. Computer programming? Check

      Finding a new job now? Umm…

      My favourite thing about computer programming was the commute. I think I’m gonna try applying to the place that runs the trains now.

      I tend to agree with this a ton, yet it’s left me asking over and over, “What the fuck do I do for work that won’t steal my time and leave me miserable?”

      I don’t know if there’s any answer for me personally on this, as I think I just abhor the entire modern arrangement of work that wants your whole life instead of only a small portion of your time just to get by.
