Not-working and just relaxing all day sounds more like Hell, than Heaven, to me.

Id take one day a week of that.

Yeah, Sunday.

You're in a rare situation L--most people don't love their job (as the saying goes, if you love what you do you'll never work a day in your life...)

Yeah, but I think a lot of people think that "loving the job" is always about the specific tasks you do, but it has more to do with workplace culture and knowing that your effort serves some larger goal you share with your employer.

That's why I liked being a homemaker, when the kids were young, even though I was mostly just sitting at home, mildly bored, with two people who couldn't talk and wore diapers.

If you hate your job it is the exact opposite though.

If you don't hate your job then relaxing all day seems like a frustrating waste of time

I tend to quite jobs I hate. Which is probably why I'm poor and can't stop working. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Although, I'm not actually picky about what work I do. I've done basically everything except coal mining, at this point. ๐Ÿ˜‚

That's why everyone treats me like a dude, which I hate.

All this is true if you can afford to quit your job. The interesting part is when you cannot afford to lose your job.

Yeah, then you're trapped. Especially, If you are in debt.

Another trap is earning above-market incomes, so that changing jobs means taking a big pay cut.

Yes this is a trap too. Nasty too. You think you are doing the right thing, but you as a person can be destroyed

If I have to work, I havenโ€™t done my job.

Nobody has to work, in Germany. Most people don't work.
