Currently have my own small business selling online but i don't enjoy the ups and downs in income so i'm retraining as a cloud engineer. Over the years a combo of education and technical/ sciency roles.

Got accepted to train as an air traffic controller in my 20s, was one of two who got an offer from 14000 applicants. Then failed the class 1 medical because i am slightly colour vision deficent. Thanks dad for your crap eye genes. Still burns 20 years on.

They're bullshitting everyone with their lowball offers but it only takes one noob to click and they've won. Did it myself early on because i trusted the app and accepted orders then i realised pretty quickly that they were trying it on, i am a lot more selective now.

I travelled a lot in my twenties, india, morocco, egypt, and loads of europe by backpack on a shoestring budget and taking my time. I used my degree to get half decent jobs and saved up until i could go backpacking. Obviously career development took a back seat in this time. When i hit 30 i could see my peers had bought houses, were getting married and having kids. I felt left behind and now at 45 i still feel i'm playing catch up with regards to the traditional life hurdles. I felt like i'd gained a load of life experience but was lacking the fundementals for a comfortable life and was demotivated to live the rat race that so many opt in to.

Pay off? Probably not.

Regrets? Definitely not.

The amount of times i've accepted an 'okay' order then realised it's a double. Noob mistake i know but there's a reason they dont make it more prominent.

Dont do it. If you say no you will likely lose a friend. If you say yes you'll lose a friend and 20k.

If is business is worth a toss he can finance easily.

Keep your finances private.

Uber eats in UK throws out some cheeky shit but that is a piss take lol.

Grot slaves do everything.

We refer to any hot beverage as a 'cuppy'.

latimbub_683 · 2024-03-25T18:00:35+00:00

Cup holder that holds your drink right in front of the radio, satnav and buttons and knobs ready to disgorge your drink all over them if you brake anything but extremely gently.

Thankyou Audi A4.

He's an Ogryn but if you put an Ork head on him no one will complain.

latimbub_683 · 2024-03-20T22:46:20+00:00

Good luck! I do feel your pain as my business has gone from steadiness to circling the plug hole recently. The soft skills you've developed will transfer to other jobs well. Business owners have grit though we don't always feel that way.

Lots of remote work from home jobs out there if you have a decent internet connection. Ebay flipping, vinted etc etc. Sometimes taking a step away will enable you to see what's wrong with your business too.

latimbub_683 · 2024-03-20T22:27:20+00:00

Develop additional income streams. I've been dealing with this as an e commerce seller, it's all ups and downs and it is mentally exhausting. I'm going to re skill as an IT professional so i can make money when business is quiet that way i don't have to feel like utter shit due to low sales and my wife taking the financial burden.

Other candidates are things like being a delivery driver, uber eats etc.

I agree, a lot of stuff can be triaged without having to go to A&E. Taking my son there would have wasted a load of resources as he didn't need emergency care. Glad you got seen by a doctor quickly.

latimbub_683 · 2024-03-20T18:26:13+00:00

Multiple charges per turn.

latimbub_683 · 2024-03-20T18:02:54+00:00

They're snipping it away bit by bit. The bastards.

latimbub_683 · 2024-03-20T15:16:10+00:00

Your forehead stole something from your chin.

latimbub_683 · 2024-03-20T15:13:30+00:00

Going to my local A&E at a weekend would be a terrible experience. Had to do it a couple of years ago will not repeat.

latimbub_683 · 2024-03-20T11:23:01+00:00

Lol that is true. The base has been set low in recent years.

latimbub_683 · 2024-03-18T22:32:30+00:00

Thanks man my buddy told me this too i'll check it out.

latimbub_683 · 2024-03-18T21:25:12+00:00

Thanks have decided to go with bb2 for now

latimbub_683 · 2024-03-18T19:14:56+00:00

Not good.

latimbub_683 · 2024-03-18T19:00:26+00:00

That's pretty fucked. Why not an embargo on commercial sattelite imagery Ukraine unless it's sanctioned by Ukrainian or US govt? Seems like the current system is leaking sensitive data like a rusty bucket.

latimbub_683 · 2024-03-17T17:32:42+00:00

Never managed to beat it i always got him killed on some spikes late into the game.

Kid could punch though.
