    Can't get satisfaction

    So I was hoping I'd be pretty pleased with some of the things I received for Xmas, some of them I was, but...
    In general browsing ebay there's not a thing I really desire, all things are kind of meh.
    On one hand I could easily afford a small hedonism, but then always at the back of my head is - you will have to invoice more days to make up for that...

    Another matter is I spend the better part of the day/week/month in an office, in front of a computer - if I did invest in a hobby item, a fishing rod, a set of golf clubs, a DH bicycle, I wouldn't be able to spend any sensible amount of time with it anyway

    All in all, I don't really enjoy my days like I used, despite a very comfortable living and don't know how to fix this...

    So to all you wannabe young contractors - it's a trap

        I just had to Google that. Down Hill bicycle indeed. Thought the DH was drop handlebars

        Are you old enough to be having a mid life crisis? Sounds like it. Why not do what everyone else does and go and buy yourself a nice motorcycle.
