    I've never felt work to be sufficiently defining of my personality that I committed to it like others writing here. I went to work to accumulate the money to do as I wished in my free time. I gave up full time employment for about a year most decades while a wage slave. In my 20s I realised i wanted to be free of the daily grind early, Being lucky and smart with my money I'd won by 52 making work optional. Work was never that relevant but I feel that's an unusual view.

    welp, I’ve just completed my first 3-day working week. It did feel weird to sign off for the weekend on a Thursday evening but I’m sure I’ll get over it 🤣
