    Got to love people that do things like this. When my mother first battled cancer we had an issue with the boiler, the local plumber knew my mother since he was a boy. After the second call out he took 13yo me with him to teach me how to do the relatively easy and safe fix for the issue to save us having to get him out to do it (not that he charged anyhow but we would be without heating until he could come round).

    Just because one has a degree, doesn't mean that they're automatically entered into that fields workforce. I went to school for my associates in computer networking, but no one would hire me because I didn't have experience, I never really did do much with that degree unfortunately because of that. But I have worked for Starbucks before, and trust me when I say you can do a lot worse. They're one of the few companies that offer health benefits for part-time employees.

    I wanted to be a paleontologist when I was a kid! It didn't happen, but at least I learned a lot about dinosaurs. Then a couple of decades later I went to a special exhibition at the museum in Sydney and was amazed and delighted to find out all this new stuff they'd discovered! Boy was my knowledge hopelessly out of date, heheh.

    One does not simply walk into Mordor. One must drive a hybrid.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/03/science/south-philippine-kingfisher-photo.html "On March 11, Dr. Miguel David De Leon — a vitreoretinal surgeon in Mindanao, the southern island of the Philippines — worked a full morning at the medical center. When he got home, “I was exhausted,” he said. But he pulled it together, lugged his camera an hour uphill and clambered into his bird hide. Soon his prize appeared: a fledgling South Philippine dwarf kingfisher, about three weeks old. For 10 minutes the rare bird posed on a branch, showing off its pastel coloring and unusual black bill. “I was so, so thrilled,” said Dr. De Leon, who had chased this shot for over three years. “I felt like my chest would explode.”

    Why on earth was this person angry at him? Why didn’t she just ask for his phone number?

    As soon as you learn to not give a crap about what other people may or may not think about you, life's a hell of a lot easier. Can be difficult getting to that point but once you do you'll kick yourself for not feeling that way sooner!
