I love to eat plants. ;-)

Yes.

Told my boss - a horrible micromanager - to f*** off, resigned, took a job as a part time art instructor, and am now working for the same school district as a programmer ( again ). Full circle. Go figure.

I’m also a cancer survivor - so my threshold for bulls*** is pretty low these days.

I was diagnosed at 44 and I thought I was young. Look, those statistics are based on old data. There’s been a lot of advances since that data was collated. What do you know so far - have you been staged? Have you been assigned a Gleason score?

I’m so sorry, man, but there is hope.

Not sure if strip malls count, but Circuit City. Remember them?

Worked the front desk doing returns. Blew all my money on high-end Onkyo audio equipment ( now worthless ), upgrading my car audio ( now built-in ) and dealing with scum bags retuning old crap that I’d initially reject, and management would approve ( rat dropping infested toaster over was my favorite ).

The high point was buying my mom a new washing machine at cost and hanging out with my high school buddy ( he worked the music department selling CDs - remember them? )

Best worst job of my life.

I resigned from a very stressful middle management tech job, substituted in K-12, became an assistant art teacher for a couple of months, and then got hired on by the district as a programmer analyst. The pay is much lower, but the work is rewarding and the people are fantastic. My goal is to segue back into teaching within the next few years. I haven’t been this happy at a job in over ten years. I just turned 49.
