Work Hard, Play Hard!
Itβs true; people ask you what job you do to see how they are going to treat you.
What type of work do you or did you do?
Did you always enjoy your work?
Was your work boring, interesting, exciting, dangerous, difficult, or satisfying?
Did you work long hours or short hours?
Were your bosses easy or difficult to work for?
The Beatles - A Hard Dayβs Night
Iβve mainly worked in teaching adults, as an artist, and for charities.
I worked my way through uni in menial jobs, and teaching.
I have had toxic bosses, the best and kindest bosses, good conditions and bad working conditions, also some very difficult colleagues, and people to deal with.
I chose work that I would enjoy, as I never wanted to be bored spending the majority of my life working. Always needed people skills and chose to work hard.
The biggest reward was creating a good atmosphere and achieving success.
An artists workβ¦not as easy as it sounds!
Don McLean - Starry, Starry Night
Do you have any anecdotes of your work, that are interesting or amusing?
Have you ever had any accidents when working?
Alan Jackson lived his songs about work, as did many performing songwriters or singers.
Alan Jackson - Hard Hat And A Hammer
Merle Haggard - Workinβ Man Blues
Bruce Springsteen - Working On The Highway
Were you rewarded well for your work?
And what skills did you need or have to work at?
So the discussion and music, memes, gifs, videos, and gifs are on a work theme.
Respect all commenters, and most of all, enjoy and chat with friends.

Has technology crossed a line?
We can now choose to be Cyberborgs with a microchip, and the great reward isβ¦
Wait for itβ¦Wowee
Instant access to Wikipedia and superintelligence.

We are promised such great rewards!
Watch Elon Muskβs neuralink monkey play video games with his brain.
We were born to be free, to enjoy our lives, be at one with nature, and also to enjoy freedoms.
Animals and people were not born to be subordinate to the whim for power or control. Life is becoming more challenging and complex with certain technologies.

Splash & Fun
I love the beach and the sea. Swimming in calm, clear blue sea is great in the summer heat.
I like small boats too. My stepfather had an old life boat called Kingfisher. It was 30 ft in length. I slept there whenever I could with the back open, watching coots, swans and ducks swimming past and honking. My job was to pump the bilges.
I just love water, but not torrential rain, although the odd storm can be exciting.
Do you go to the beach in the summer or own a boat?
Have you been on a cruise, or traveled in a small boat?
I often travelled by boat in Turkey, by ship to Izmir from Istanbul, by ferry crisscrossing the Bospherous, or staying on yachts and rowing ashore for raki, a Turkish drink for the crew, being the only one who didnβt drink. They were astounded a lassie could row and tie a boat. We found isolated coves and swam thereβ¦heaven!
I also like to laze in a warm bath tub, to relax, tho lately Iβve taken to showering, especially several times a day in the summer heat, if its like last summer.
As a child, I loved clambering over rocks, picking winkles to cook for dinner⦠I never ate them.
In Australia, I played with sting rays, dropping clams into the sea. The Sting rays would flip their wings, so the shell opened, and they eat them in a flash.
In Australia, I was waiting for good-looking lifeguards to swab sunscreen on me, but they were all old and wrinkly, not like in the adverts, tall, suntanned and handsome.
We have a lot of beaches here, but mainly rocky. Daredevils dive into deep seas in dangerous places.
What type of holidays do you like? By the sea, in the cities, sight seeing, countryside, or another type of activity?
Remember, no politics or religion.
Post memes, gifs, videos, music, chat with friends! Most of all, enjoy.
