Don't be salty that you have to work for a living, Patey boy. Not everyone can live the dream. You're not even a has-been at this point, merely a "never was."
You may call it work if you like. It is a gov't job, basically glorified baby-sitting; I watch other people work really. I don't really
have to do it, instead of taking the full-time version of my position, I elected to take the part-time one.
You see the full-timers
have to go do whatever, part-timers can decline the jobs. There are other differences, but they seem to have great difficulty keeping full-time people around. As a result, I am frequently being literally
begged to work a shift, out of my deep sense of public duty I rarely decline.
Although, there a few "customers" that I have standing orders on that I will not accept the job for until I get a letter of apology from them on company letterhead with cc's to the Secretary of my G'ovt Dept & the Executive of the Gov't. I don't tolerate rudeness on the jobsite, against certain Policies the State has about workplace rights or some other such gobbly-d-gook.
If my small-business has a job lined up on a particular day, I naturally turn down the Gov. job. This rarely happens, as I will communicate my schedule to the people in advance... But if both have "last-minute" requests, my business naturally takes precedence. It pays more.
On my business; I am in a position where I can "fire" customers: in other words, I do not
need/want their business.
"The Juice is not worth the Squeeze" one might say. If you are not in such a position yet, my dear fiend Azz, I highly recommend that you put yourself on a path to where that is your business model. It is very nice, still work, but pleasant & enjoyable work.
Finally, I am currently using my GI Bill (
before it disappears forever in the Spring of 2027) to take classes on a part-time (
sometimes full-time) basis. Thanks to the amount of active-duty time I have in the US Army, I also receive a monthly stipend for any semester I am enrolled. It isn't that much, but suffice it to say that it is greater than zero.
I don't really have time (
nor inclination, honestly) to set up and run a forum...
It is in the plan, however, at some point I want to make a business website. It would be a vanity project,
not intended to generate more work: maybe sell t-shirts and merch. Anyhow, I would have it hidden somewhere on the site as an Easter Egg link that would take the user to a forum, you would have to register to post there. TOS would be standard Business one: report illegal activity to Law Enforcement &tc, reserve right to delete/alter posts, &tc.
But as I said, I really don't have the inclination for all that at this time.
I don't hate you nor your site, I just find it amusing that you (
whether it be intentional or unintentional) have created this wonderful Digital Tarpit! If it is intentional, the esteem in which I hold you (
& the good Doctor) increases to a level higher than the esteem I hold you if it is unintentional.
I also note that you have assigned (
in your own mind) what the exact value of my esteem is from the very beginning of our little recent exchange.
I wish you joy of that!
