watching the sun set That laidback no worries attitude that most Australians seem to exhibit has brushed off on me and for that I am grateful. When I tried to explain it to Ann she said that it made her think of the Don't Worry Be Happy song and I winced. She completely misunderstood what I was trying to say. Australians are not morons, they simply know better than to let things bother them. Her example and mine have nothing in common. They are two completely different ways of seeing life. One has a moron beating himself and humming while the other is knowing not to get upset and just take life as it comes. ... I made it through an entire week of work without getting upset. Then again as I said earlier for most of the week my mind was still on the other side of the world. Anything that had to do with work was unimportant to me. There is so much more to life than just living for your job. Someone at work tried tell me that it was my job that made it possible to go to Australia, but I disagree. I was what made it possible not work. I could have quit my job and still have gone. It was the job that made the trip so short. The job wasn't helping me, it was hindering me. I don't owe my job anything. Nor have they really given me anything of any real value. The way that I see it is that they pay me for my time and my time is valuable. I don't just give it away. I have value not the job. I am more important than the company not the other way around. I imagine that other people would disagree with me, but I know what makes me happy.
