No, if I had just said that stretching my arms straight out side to side, measuring tip to tip would equal my height, he's likely to misread it as one arm being more than five feet long.

The only jobs I'd stay in for 28 years are ones that are genuinely engaging and remain enjoyable for a significant amount of time. That doesn't make me a job hopper. I've had several that have been ongoing for years. I value being happy over money. If I could make millions but hated the job, I'd maybe stick to it for a while for the money and quit when I had enough to not need the job. Probably save up enough to do my own thing fot a while. Unless you really, really like cleaning other people's messes, staying a janitor for 3 decades is pretty depressing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watches are not a replacement for phones. Watches are a replacement for one function of a phone (or rather, one function of a phone is a replacement for a watch, as has generally been the rule). I mean, I guess you could always get a smart watch... But even I see no reason for that, and I'm assuming you feel the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The insurance seems adequate, since they eliminated the deductible for mental health. Damn, I already have more vacation than you and no union dues. I probably won't stay at my job, which does have decent benefits, but I'm not settling for less. As of now it's an okay job, in the fall it might end up a good job. But life has a lot of prioritizing involved when you decide to live one. Your priority seemed to be to make enough to stay drunk, given your proud sobriety, but you don't seem to have another goal to be shooting for.
