Nature of happiness
Quitting work

Most people spend a very long time wondering about what it would be like to quit full-time work.  Just stop it.  Down tools and run off around the world.  I can tell you now, it’s strange.  It’s both freeing and anti-climactic.  Why?  Well, you’re the anomaly.  You’re the one that can roam the streets at strange times of night, go to the gym at the off-peak hours, get the discounted cinema matinee ticket.  Why?  Because everyone else is at work.  There is no-one else around. That’s right buddy - you’re a freak.  Lucky for me, I can enjoy the irony of thinking I’d finally reached utopia only to find it’s a bit like a grey Sunday at ASDA.
