Drive to work

I've had good jobs all my life, but if you could booze it up, watch tv and listen to music at work, what the hell do you aspire to do in your free time?   I come pretty close to doing two of the three at work.  Working on a computer is kind of like watching TV and I do get to listen to music while I do it, I just have to keep it down.

Sometimes I do all three of them. I’m a translator, and every now and then I have a glass of something different than water while i work.

So when you're home you just drink something, watch something, and listen to something different? 

Maybe have sex, sleep, eat, dream or do you do that at work, too?

Oh, I've had good jobs too.  And I have even "enjoyed" some of my jobs.  But even the best job in the world doesn't compare to being at home or otherwise really enjoying life.

And I've had those.  And I still prefer goofing off 100% of the time to working.  Work is something I must do to survive.  Don't expect me to love it. 

I dont work and I dont drive.
