Taken for granted

It’s so easy to take the good things in life for granted.

Now, I’m not saying that my job is perfect (shit; no job is perfect), but how many companies will bring in a team of professional mechanics to fix your bike, feed you a barbecued lunch outdoors in the sun, and hire a band to play chilled out ambient music for you while you eat?

And how many companies will do all of that for you on the same day?

The old folk like to tell us that we young folk don’t know we’re born. Although I’m not exactly young any more, I think they’re right. In so many ways, we’ve never had it so good. Sometimes it’s hard to remember that this is a job, not just some place to hang out, eat and chat with friends.
