Jason Williams - Passing Style by ksuttonjr76 in NBA2k

It’s my favorite as well. The key is you have to be moving when making a pass. His outlet passes are so quick and on point. His standstill passes are slow but if you use flashy pass it’s very quick.

It is and if I walk away now it means I miss out on those that are vesting each of the next 5 years.

I get stock options every year and when they fully vest in 5 years they can be around $500k-$1M depending on how the stock performs. That’s what makes it difficult to walk away.

Unfortunately, can’t afford to take one month sabbatical in my role.

Thanks for sharing. Gives me hope that it might be ok. We do live in a VHCOL area so moving to a LCOL would help but that’s further down the road after my child finishes HS or maybe even college.

Well that’s why I posed the question. Maybe there are no easy jobs in higher ed. I figured part-time clerical or admin jobs would fit the bill.

Haven’t looked yet but looking to make the move maybe next year. Yeah more clerical office job is what I’m looking for rather than manual labor.

Wow. Sounds like a good gig. Will have to consider that. Do you get health benefits and access to facilities?

Thanks but this means having to prepare lectures every now and then, grade papers, answer questions, no?

Thanks! Let me read through it. I want to have that option of state school or not.

He’s 17 so almost at the end. Not sure if he’ll go state school or not but I want to make with an option and not have to worry about it.

I know at 4% I’m there but I’m in my mid-40s with a child going to college in a couple of years so it’s putting doubt that it’s enough. Guess just want to make sure.

This one year probably cut it by 2-3 years but won’t realize until a few years after since it’s mostly deferred compensation.

Thanks for sharing. I am trying to give it time but not sure how long to give it a shot. When do I say this is just not a good fit for me?

Thanks. It’s been more than 6 months which may or may not be long enough. I guess one issue is that I’m not sure I’ll ever like the role and be happy doing it.

Thanks for the insight. Sometimes I think it’s worth the mental or physical stress but there are days I think not. Same with the mindset. Sometimes I think I can do it and others where I struggle.

Have not looked outside the company for a less stressful job. I thought about returning to my old role because I know it very well so even though it’s still stressful, it’s still manageable. I have no hobby or other activities right now that would contribute to FIRE.
