So, some of you know that I am retired from the military. 25 years of banging my head against the wall. It wasnt all bad, if it was, I wouldnt have stayed that long. The good days and good people more than outnumbered the bad days and douchecanoes. I al a fairly acerbic and sarcastic, what fucking glass type. Underneath I am fairly cuddly and somewhat of a decent guy. But I digress.
I started a personal training/fitness coaching business and worked in some gyms in the C Springs are, but COVID tanked that, there was some personal trauma, and then along comes an opportunity to return to my old world, but as GS employee in Germany. I say what the heck, its Germany, I love Germany (3d tour here...), its only a 3 year initial contract, I make some jing, badda bing, badda boom I am home and re-modeling the house. The family stays in C Springs, cuz things are going too smoothly and I promised them I wouldn't move them again. No sweat, right?
Wrong. COVID made it weird, the unit I am at is a kick in the balls every day, I miss the family...blahblahblah stop whining already. I am cutting my losses and walking away from a really decent paycheck to go back to my little den of insanity. The stress and irritation of a world that I had come to hate when I Left is too great, and it is time to admit at least a temporary defeat, return home and reboot/regroup, smoke a fatty and figure out what I want to be when/if I grow up.
I will return to the fitness world and love every damn minute of it, even if I am counting reps for housewives. I am so done with the military industrial complex. Even though as a hippy Liberal tree hugger kid I thought I could handle it in order to ride cool bikes in cool places...I cant.
TL/DR? Dont chase the brass ring or the big $$ at the cost of happiness and contentment. I thought I knew that...
