I had a coworker that started to hate his job and feel trapped. We all did, but he was more vocal about it to his friends. He said:
"I think sometimes, what if I didn't take that turn on the highway and just kept going?".
Well one day he didn't come in. Emailed the boss he quit later. I like to think he just kept driving on to a better future.
We had a guy and the pizza shop I worked show up and ask for a job. He had just driven from New Jersey to South Florida to set up a new life. He wanted full time, a privilege that was rarely awarded. But he gave full availability and showed clear dedication to the job. He got the job. He was our best and most energetic employee for over a year.
Then one day he said "alright guys it's been real, but I want to move to California now." And he did, the next week. I feel like that guy will do well no matter where he goes.
I envy that kind of freedom. But I understand having the curse of itchy feet. Some people can't stay still.
I hear some say the road that he walked on is paved in gold...
Where is he going without even knowing the way?
yeah its always summer and he never gets cold.
