I am in SUCH a moooooooood!!

Man, I am in such a mood today! I don't even know what my issue is! It's not just today either. I was in a foul mood all day Friday and most of the afternoon on Saturday. I'm just in no mood to work at all! It's one of those days where I desire soooooo much NOT to be at work that my skin is crawling at the thought of being stuck at work until 5! I had to work 5 hours on Saturday-something I'm not used to at all! I didn't get to sleep in this weekend...had to wake up at the buttcrack of dawn...and come to work. Don't get me wrong. I like my job. I've got a great job. It's just one of those moods and one of those days.
Maybe it's the fact that it's finally FALL! My absolute favorite season! The weather has been so stinkin' nice outside and I'm trapped inside and lucky to see a single ray of sunshine peep through the window. It's cool and crisp outside, the leaves are changing! I want to go to a pumpkin patch and apple orchard so bad I can't stand it. Here it is October 13th...my favorite month is halfway through. I should be outside enjoying the life and the vast creation that God has blessed me with...but NO! Not today, not tomorrow, not even Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. I'll be stuck between the 4 walls of my office.
The system is so screwed up! Honest to goodness! How much sense does it make that we start working between the ages of 16-21 and then work until we're in our late 50's early 60's? Then, if we're lucky-we'll draw Social Security until we die. Seriously! I propose that instead we go to work between the ages of 40-50 and work until we're in our late 70's early 80's. I propose that we draw Social Security once we get out of high school up until we join the work force in our 40's. Social Security could help pay for our college and our travels as we enjoy our youth and gain valuable life experience! Life experience we could then apply to the work force! It doesn't make sense to me that we waste away our youth working 40+ hours a week. By the time we're old enough to retire...we're too old to enjoy retirement. Am I right or am I right? It would make so much more sense if we got to enjoy retirement while we're young and able. I know some of the older folks that are reading this right now may be getting a little ticked off. Don't get mad at me because I'm speaking the truth. Get mad at the system!
I mean, I understand that the Bible says we have to work to eat and that makes sense. Seriously though, I don't eat enough to validate me working 40 hours a week. If it were at all possible I would give up eating all together if it meant not working. I'm just saying...based on what I eat I should only be working part-time....I mean, like part-time, part-time.

It just doesn't make sense to me. Maybe I should run for President! Or maybe I should just take a CHILL PILL!
