Matthew J. Hanson.com - You Can't Have it All

As my most faithful readers may be aware, I currently derive most of my monetary income from substitute teaching. Since the beginning of September I had a long-term position at a particular school. A few weeks ago that position came to an end. I have worked off and on the past couple of weeks, but I have also had more time off, and I have a confession to make.

I love not working.

What is not to love? Sleeping in until ten, relaxing all day, actually getting to update Matthew J. Hanson.com? The slow depreciation of my savings? Okay well there is that. Which leads us to the central conflict in my life: the desire to not work verses the desire to have money. Not a lot of money, just enough to pay for food, rent, and a little left over.

So on my days off I seek a way to reconcile these conflicting goals. Alas my Matthew J. Hanson.com store is not yet selling enough merchandise to keep me in the black. Perhaps somewhere out there, there is a get rich quick scheme that isn't too good to be true.

In the mean time, I guess I just watch Japanese people sing about Barak Obama.
