The Beginning of Madness
Sunday, November 30th, 2008
Just a little bit into my background I have had a lot of jobs. Its not that I get fired from them or I’m lazy, of anything like that, its just that I have a real problem with people telling me what my life’s schedule is. I have been a landscaper, forklift driver, truck driver, door-to-door salesman, bus boy, waiter, and bartender. I have been a warehouse worker, delivery guy, painter, and a car salesman. I have had a lot of jobs, but none of them have ever really satisfied me. I never felt good about my work, never felt like I was doing anything important, any thing that mattered. Then we moved to Chicago for my wife’s job. I had no job for the first few months, and just took care of the move, the house, the decorating, and most of all my wife. I found that taking care of her meant, doing the cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, laundry, driving her to work lots of times, taking her back and forth to the airport. This was a full time job, this so called housework, and I found myself busy most of the day doing these things. For the first time I felt good about what my life had become. It may seem kind of unlikely that a guy really enjoys housework, but I do. I have gotten pretty good at cooking and I surprise my wife often with new recipes and new ideas. I have also become a pretty good decorator, I love going shopping and making the house smell really good, she loves it too.
