I always used to be like that (hell, I was *known* for that).
But then once I started doing it for $ that quickly sucked most
of the enjoyment out of it. Seems to be that everything changes
when you're doing something as a job instead of just for the
heck of it.
Like cooking: The worst jobs I've ever had (by far) were in
restaurants, but I've slowly been enjoying cooking at home more
and more. Last night I've even cooked up a little something
just to unwind, which was quite a strange first for me.
Anyway, point being, doing something for a paycheck always
seems to change it just enough to suck all the fun out of it.
At least for me anyway.
I've been working off and on for three years now and it hasn't
changed my opinion about it. I'm still like, "Hey, this is
awesome."
