I hate my job ...but I'm good at it. After 20 years, I guess you eventually get that way...AND the salary is fairly decent for a government employee.

What I'm still working on is to, once again after 25 years, be a FULL-TIME musician. Which once I reach a point where I can retire (yes, I said "retire") from my current job at a decent pension rate, then focus solely on making music. This "dual life" of having a stressful day job and still trying to keep both feet in the music biz is wreaking havoc on me. The ol' "I'm too old for this ****" is in full swing. Since I have no intention of giving up music, this damn desk job has its days numbered, but unfortunately the "number" is still pretty high.

Of course, all bets are off if I hit the lottery. Look out recording studios and concert tour venues!! My goal is to have an album that out-sells Time and gets twice the airplay.
