Solution: have a trade, work for yourself
Been going pretty well for me for a couple years now. I should hire a helper though, its becoming obvious how much I lose in time to doing helper work and I enjoy teaching
Edit: not the best advice in this case
I do have a trade. It’s software development lol
That’s all over now. What next??!
Sorey shattered spine. Lifting isn’t gonna work.
I am deeply sorry friend. :( one of the many shitty things about capitalism is how it ties your ability to exist to your career
Yup. Future looks like a mass shooting at a corporate building with a letter of resignation from life on me.
Yay!
What kind of software do you write?
Baby, what do you want? I’ve got a closet full of hats I’ve accumulated over a 25 year “career.”
I cannot claim to much experience that you would find useful and for that im sorry.
The best I can offer is Zen Buddhism and empathy
Thanks. It could be a lot worse I guess.
