Would you date a workaholic? [DuckDuckGo Sociology] in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] 6 points 6 hours ago (1 child)

I am the workaholic in my marriage, it's tougher on my wife then myself.

I'm self employed, and am only working to improve our lives. Obviously people have different needs in a relationship but i don't think it's a deal breaker.

I find a solid work ethic and goals to be attractive. Someone who is content to just muddle through life with no real aspirations, beyond going home to watch TV after work or goals that are so far out of reach they won't be attained is frustrating to me.

    Having grown up late 90s into the 2000s I went from buying cds to lime wire to spotify.

    In the last 6 months I have found such a greater appreciation for just putting on a whole album and listening to it front to back.

    I feel there is a huge loss when going from one artist to another to another all random.

    Today I am listening to Refused, The Shape Of Punk To Come

    Do you think every generation thinks their time growing up was the best? (aussie.zone)
     

    I'm a millennial and think I got the perfect moment in history, school was only school no computers and MSN etc until highschool. There was no mobile phones until then too. (I mean for kids)

    Consoles were still multilayer locally and there was no social media.

    But we still had all the conveniences of modern life now apart from instant food delivery and streaming

    Update on my stolen vehicle (aussie.zone)
     

    Friday morning via Facebook thanks to my wife and the communities on there that are set up to find stolen cars we found my vehicle.

    It was 240kms away crashed on the side of the road.

    Unfortunately all of my tools were stolen they opened the boxes and removed tools draws and all.

    They stole all of my consumables too.

    Insurance is still assessing the car and my business insurance said the missing tools are car insurance problem because it's parked in a residential premises and are my personal property.

    Car insurance will cover 1500 dollars or tools. Unfortunately I had around 50k of tools etc in my ute.

    This weekend I spent 10k on tools and am obviously still far behind.

    I have hired a ute and bought tools so I'm back to work now since I have no other options really, I need an income to support my wife while she has no job since she's on maternity leave.

    I'm really only writing this to put some thoughts out, I think I'm having a rough time but it's just life. One for before the other and keep going you know.

    I'm going to put up some photos of the car and perpetrator in the comments just so they're out there too.

    My work car was stolen (aussie.zone)
     

    G'day guys, not really a dull story unfortunately but I just wanted somewhere to vent my thoughts about the nights events.

    I work for myself have for about 18 months, started my own heavy mobile mechanic company business has been good always busy etc.

    My wife just lost her job due to being 9 months pregnant and they made her position redundant. So we are relying on my sole income from working for myself.

    Stressful yeah but manageable.

    Unfortunately that all brings us to tonight,

    At about 0100 I hear my car start up and crash through my front fence and off it went.

    All my work tools all my licenses access cards to places and my work laptop.

    I was fully packed to go do a service in the morning leaving at 0500 so I prepared everything in the car in advance so I just had to get up shower and go.

    Now I'm sitting here at home waiting to call insurance and see what little they will do for me regarding the vehicle and tooling.

    My wife super stressed since being about to give birth any time now and no prospects for an income for either of us unless I go win the lotto and buy a new car and tools.

    The car isn't really a problem though, I mean it is but it's the tools that I'll miss the most. I can't even go get a job working for someone else again without having tools to do my job. Really is a shit situation Unfortunately.

    Anyway happy new year guys I hope everyone else's year starts off better then mine so far
