Here’s the concept: instead of things you want to do before you die (AKA the Bucket List), I’m thinking about creating a Fuck It List, of things I want to never have to do again.

If you were doing so, what would you put on your list.

I was hanging out with a retired former coworker last weekend, and she got in my head. I have at least 11 years to go, assuming I’m able to retire, so it’s not realistic now. But what is life without hopes and dreams?

So far, all I have on the list is:

Having time for a quick chat with my manager.

I will rejoice when I don’t have to do that again.

    Going to “work”. I was recently laid off because my company is shutting down. I enjoyed the work we did, it was rewarding and provided a quality service. After being out of work for almost a month, I never want to have a “job” again.

    I was able to have an extended visit with my parents who live in another state and aren’t getting any younger , I’ve been able to travel to be with my partner while her mom is dealing with health issues in another state, I dog sat for a friend and got to hang out in her back yard while reading and watching the pups play in the sun all day, I’ve been dabbling in things like drawing and taking improv classes.

    I have been regularly employed since before I was 18 and never had more than one week off here or there, except for a few weeks when I moved ten years ago.

    I am currently searching for a new job because I live in the US and for some reason we decided tie healthcare to employment but I dread what I end up getting myself into because I was just beginning to find myself again.

    Not watching TV shows that have less then 12 episodes in a season. I know there are people that love shorter seasons. I hate them. I can’t get into the show or feel anything when a character dies or people break up or something tragic (at least not on short season shows) .

    I’m just about to stop watching new shows. I’ll just wait to see if they get 12 or more shows per season. (Or check Wikipedia if the data is there when the show begins).

    Btw I prefer 25+ per season.

    Again I know some people don’t want that many per season but give something to those of us that want long seasons.

    Do you know what I call a TV show that only has four or six episodes in a season? A miniseries

      I don’t mind how many episodes are in a season or how long a series is. I’ve seen great shows that had a single eight episode season. However, I don’t want to watch anything that doesn’t have a defined ending. I’ve been burned too many times when I find a great show only to discover it died in a cliffhanger.

      If it’s good enough to complete it’s entire run and get a proper ending, then I’m interested. I don’t want to be on the hook dependant on the whims of the creator or the production company.
