job

my barber recently asked me what i liked about my job and quite surprisingly, i had more than just a few things to list:

flexible schedule
-i arrive to work at ~9am and leave at ~5pm (i try not to abuse it though).
-i do not need to get approval from anyone to go on vacation.
-i can work from home if i have matters to take care of.
the unknown
-is today an up or down market? i am someone who gets bored easily so i enjoy the everyday surprises of the unknown market trend.
talent
-i am surrounded by a team of talented people.
-i am actually quite good at what i do and my colleagues recognize that.

i know that we all complain about work every now and then (i am guilty of it myself) but it does keep us sane. really.

"we" instead of "i"

i recently started thinking about the concept of "we" instead of "i".

i live with him
i have joint accounts with him
i prepare dinner with him
i wake up with him
i go to bed with him

even with all of these factors, i still don't see myself as a participant in this "we" concept. i like to think that i am my own identity who share some mutual activities with another "i". i don't think that i like it very much when i am referred to as a "we". i am going to stick with just being an "i".
