Anyone ever wonder about the expression- stick in the mud

Well I did and a little Google work got me this

Stick in the mud - someone stuck in their ways
Stick in the mud is actually a short form of the verbal phrase to stick in the mud, meaning 'stick' or 'stay' in an unpleasant or demeaning situation, rather than dragging oneself out of the metaphorical mud. To stick in the mud first appeared around 1620, and was a further development of earlier metaphors such as to stick in the briers (or clay, or mire) meaning simply 'to be in difficult circumstances'. Somewhere around the early 18th century, stick in the mud arose as a contemptuous term for someone who is not only stuck in the mud, but actually seems to enjoy being there.

1. I sorta feel that way many times.

But I am on strike and have been for many years, so holding to my positions.

And having as much fun as one can along the way :)

(which isn't much, but you make the best of things :) )

In other words, I am not running on the hamster wheel for nobody.

Or maybe better to be said, I am not playing the game.
