3 reasons I have come to this conclusion:
1) Chris Evans is my preferred breakfast DJ and I listen to Radio 2 more than any other station
2) I groan when picking things up off the floor. It may be from the previous day's run/gym but still
3) I find myself reflecting on my career a lot. For almost my entire career I have been happy to take whichever contract pays the most and what will stand me in the best stead for getting the next one that will pay more. Am not yet 40 but I do wonder about the sum of my life's achievements when compared with those far more poorly remunerated, like nurses, or policeman for example. The fact that I made a few end users lives easier, saved a few blue chips some money etc is in the greater scheme of things fairly meaningless. Now, don't get me wrong, I intend to chase the money to the end of my working days ( have 3 expensive girls to keep in shoes/horses/barbies etc) but I do sometimes wonder if I should supplement the day job with something like charity work or at least something slightly more meaningful. I mean, FFS, who wants, did some IT stuff on their tombstone when it could be so much more? Anyone else?
