What I am thinking about hard core lately

I have a job, it's a 9 to 5 and is just OK.  It pays the bills but it wasn't what I went to uni to do and certainly not close to important to humanity, like they told you in uni everything you would touch would be after graduation.  It's an office job, paper-pushing and monotonous, and everyone ALWAYS has a case of the Mondays, even on Friday afternoon.  I'm reaching a breaking point with this job, which has been a long time coming so back up plans and escape hatches are being wildly searched out in the hopes that my sanity, soul, and self-respect can fly away while there's still hope for resurrection on the other side.  Some of my options would include not having a 9 to 5 schedule and I think that night be a nice change, having been in this predesigned lifestyle for over 10 years.  This article on ThoughtCatalog about the 8 hour workday and it's effect on spending is super interesting and thought provoking, as I have been examining money as it relates to where I make it and how I spend it.  Perhaps Stabucks and nannying would be good for the pocketbook and the soul? 

But the 8-hour workday is too profitable for big business, not because of the amount of work people get done in eight hours (the average office worker gets less than three hours of actual work done in 8 hours) but because it makes for such a purchase-happy public. Keeping free time scarce means people pay a lot more for convenience, gratification, and any other relief they can buy. It keeps them watching television, and its commercials. It keeps them unambitious outside of work.
