I’m writing from work right now and thinking about how the florescent lights create a certain hum, how a voice of a man in a meeting drifts over to me from a cross the top of the cubicle walls. In general, I think a lot about how work is wrong. Now, I know not having work is also wrong so there is a bit of a contradiction there, but living in a system where having a job or not defines one’s quality of life doesn’t seem quite right. When that happens, most people spend a great deal of time doing work that is not important to them, is bad for the planet, and takes away from more important activities, such as spending time with family, and, for example, growing the food needed to stay well and healthy. Anyway, that’s it for my rant. Hopefully, I will be more optimistic on other days.

(edit)
job is a estrange concept. the agrarian 9 to 5 work system is outdated. there have been recent studies about this subject were the results were that people are more productive and happier in freer and more flexible work environments.
I work at home, for me is difficult to work with too much freedom, i often get distracted by the things that surround me. not in a negative way, but the books, the objects, textures, and patterns, grab my attention, my imagination and they quickly become like ‘micro’ dreams, they can last a few seconds or minutes. but because of these ephemeral flights of the imagination i loose focus of the task i was working on. i guess working at home have both advantages and disadvantages depending on how distractive, or interesting, your work environment is.
