Shallow Thoughts
For the first time in forever I took a REAL vacation with my family. . . we flew to Kiawah Island in South Carolina to get away from our daily grind in Texas so we can relax and unwind together. The flight was smooth, save for some shenanigans with the American Airlines inflight entertainment system, and we were at the beach in no time:
It's certainly not the white sand and turquoise water we're accustomed to in the tropic, but I'll take it!
Deep Thoughts
I read an article entitled Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber over the weekend, and it resonated with me on many levels. I spent over a decade working in the financial industry and realize it serves the important function of providing capital and liquidity to productive industries, but if all bankers suddenly disappeared the world wouldn't grind to a halt. The same thing certainly cannot be said of garbage collectors. One of the reasons I like the company I work for is that we sell a product that promises a reduction in the amount of time people spend doing busy-work. I firmly believe time is the most valuable thing we have, so hopefully these clients take the time that they save and use it to do something truly useful. Otherwise we're just working for the sake of working.
One other thought. . . how can I shrink my own job such that everything can be accomplished in 15-20 hours per week? ;-P

actually we work to get vacation time. so the holiday was amazing and meaningful.
and of course we will appreciate the holiday time and the people we care about.
hopefully this holiday gives the spirit to return to work more effectively and efficiently.
Have a nice holliday my friend,,,
The beach is the most enjoyable vacation spot. On the other hand, we can express hidden content shouting with all his might. Without anyone else to know, it is something that can make our minds become comfortable again. I really like to vacation to the coastal area to see the beauty of the waves are alternating. Hopefully your holiday is always fun with family @grolelo😊
How busy are you but you always give time to beloved family .. you are so great ..
Hmmmm talking about deep thoughts, sometimes I winder why life is like this for employees working each and everyday. No other special kind of life. Working just for the pay. This is sad. Its just better to find what interests one, and what you will enjoy doing, instead of just working for working sake.
I'm so glad you and your family got away for a holiday! It might not be white sand and the tropics, but it's not Texas either, and it's a chance to spend some quality time together! (disclaimer: there's absolutely nothing wrong with Texas ;)
I'm curious...what is the company you work for, if you don't mind me asking? Because I agree; anything that can reduce "busy work" is very worthwhile!
Congratulations !!! every once in a while it takes a little escape to get out of the routine and the daily ...
very good photos also friend ... to continue distracting the mind!
greetings and enjoy
A very enjoyable trip with your daughter. Yes I agree with you, time is very valuable and must use well. Not just spent on work and work again. Thanks for the enlightened enlightenment @grolelo.
a small vacation nape fall badly dear friend, I consider that the beach is one of the places that more fills us with positive energy, just what we need to continue with our duties! I guess you were tired like in the picture of my pet from my latest publication hahaha greetings !!
