To be honest I was a pretty shitty husband and father first time around, the kids turned out O.K. because I got better when we got divorced. In those days. I lived for Rugby on Saturday Afternoon and Clubbing on Saturday Evening and Friday if I wasn't playing. I spent more time out of the house at the gym, doing muay thai and taking coke and ecstasy than on them. I was better second time around, by then I only did roids and booze. 🙂

It's hard to imagine you're a narcissist when you readily admit your faults.

I've had career bumps, as well. Really want to move back to upper management, though. Working on updating my credentials to make that move.

I don't care if you're making minimum wage cooking burgers or the CEO of a multi-billion dollar company, generally speaking, people find pleasure doing something well and being rewarded for their work.

Just like there's more satisfaction earning your own wealth compared to it being given to you via inheritance or luck.

Spot on. Hate the people that talk down janitors or fry cooks. It's a job! It's better than nothing.

I loved working at McDonald's when I was in high school.

You'll do it, you are still very young believe it or not (OK Boomer thinks DDM, I'm Gen X thinks Whirly 😂 ). I know my faults DDM, but it doesn't stop me loving myself too much. I've reached a point in my career where outside my Job, I even deliver trainings and consult. I'm on the verge of being able to, maybe in four years, just consult. I even consulted to the Governments of two GCC nations, which is scary.

working is just means to an end for me, all the stuff i love in life is impossible to monetize (well at least most of them without making them not so fascinating anymore), working just allows me to have financial stability to do stuff i like, it's been like that since forever even though i started working when i was like 17 iirc

i've changed fields 4 times now that i'm 26 just because everything gets annoying after some time lmao

Underrated people who take that job for the pay they get. Life would f*cking suck if nobody did it.

Mindship Snap out of it.

I don't find it coincidental that so many people (typically men) drop dead very soon after retirement
I think it depends on the type of person, ie, were they healthy, did they live for work, etc. Most retirees I know are quite alive and kickin'. Some have trouble with loss of job-related relevance, and a few, unfortunately, have indeed died.

I was born to play, so for me retirement has been an absolute blessing. It's like being a kid again, only with money and tons of playtime. My daughter is grown and on her own, my wife is a big kid like me. Life is good, and I am thankful every day for it, especially since I made so many stupid, lazy-driven mistakes in my teens and 20s.

I want to get a boob job so I can get better tips already, but they’re so expensive.

🙁

My home offices and work places have been Oklahoma City and Tulsa for all of my life.

But I've had to travel a lot for consulting services and training over the years.

A couple of times, I offered to meet up with PVS when I was in Atlantic City but he wasn't game - he thought I would stab him or something.

But I'm up for meeting almost anyone besides the people that are probably genuine killers.
