    Carefree

    Which I was a child again.

    I don't like this working, being responsible thing. I think it's directly attibutable to the number of keys you have.

    When you're a kid you don't have any at all. Then you get your front door key when you're a teenager. Then maybe a bike lock. Then a locker key.
    Then it's a car or motorbike key. Perhaps some more lock keys. Then it's multiple car keys, then front and back door keys. A numeric key to your bank account. A pin number. Multiple pin numbers.
    Keys online for this and that. A shed key, garage key. Key to the neighbours house.
    Key to the electic meter, key to the gas meter. Then a work key. Then you move! You get more keys, the old keys you keep in a drawer.

    You can chart your life by the number of keys you accumulate.

    Wish I didn't have keys again.

    I used a combination lock for my bike lock, so that I could be carefree, not worry about losing a key and and didn't wear a hole in my pocket. This system worked well until one night when I became the owner of a sliced lock cable and no bike. Should have used a thicker cable, though these tend to use keys.

        I thought about this the other day actually, and came to the conclusion that the last time I was truely care free was leaving school at 16. I had the summer hols to look forward to, had the GCSE results that I wanted and had a bird who was fit and a whole new 'grown up' life ahead of me.

        It's been down hill since then really

          I agree. I had everything but the bird bit.

          The story of my life, really...
          If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

            Janitors do indeed have to carry a lot of keys.

              I got into a bit of trouble at school by swapping over combination locks on the bicycles. The problem was the headmaster was confused on what rule I had broken so he let me off.

                It could be worse, you could be a permie.

                Throw away your old keys. Discard them like previous lovers and clientco email addresses.

                Also, your butler should sort this tulip out.
                Keeping calm. Keeping invoicing.

                  Which is why I like being in the mental hospital so much - no keys.
