I use filled up public transportation each work day, eat in restaurants, and as my work I visit eight different elementary schools per week and work in classes filled with kids. And I smoke a pack per day at the moment, eat a lot of sugar and fat and do not exercise. Plus I sleep very little (last night for an hour) and am stressed all the time because so much going on in my life.

So my odds are not so good and I am baffled why I haven't died yet. But couple of weeks ago my friend asked me to work for him. Not getting more money, my yearly vacation dropps from 38 days + 19 days vacation salary changed to days - to 24 days. In my work I have now free public transportation 24/7/365 which I loose too and no health care other than public compared to city work health care I have now. Been in this job for fourteen years, have build a car, a motorcycle and many computers and woodwork and speakers and paintings and everything in my work place, and have had 7 storage rooms for my projects in different schools. I loose all that as well as freedom to work in my own time and as my own boss. My job has been a sort of a dream job and at the same time been a golden cage. Have not been able to leave even though I have wanted.

Still I am planning to go to work for my friend. Have become too much of a slave to my routines in life. Now I have to change which is good.
