I can think of lots of better stuff to do than work

I have a pretty sweet job, my boss one of the funniest guys I know, my company takes care of me, all my co-workers are cool, no one's looking over my shoulder or breathing down my neck, yet I spend most of my day thinking about where I'd rather be or what I'd rather be doing. If I didn't have to work I'd probably sleep 'till noon and watch TV until 5:00 anyway. What's wrong with me? One day I'll get a job where I actually have to slave away all day and I'll think about how good I had it back in the day. My whole life's gone that way so far. In college I realized how easy high school was, once I started working I realized how good I had it in college, etc. I think I'm going to try to enjoy stuff more as it is happening and appreciate the present more since it goes away so fast.
Ok that was a little cornball. I'm going surfing now.
