I would have come close to starving under a Democratic Administration, but all it takes is one term of a Republican Administration to retire!

I don't know where he is literally going to find the TIME he needs to hold all the hearings with all the criminals of the drumpf administration. It could keep the Justice committee busy for YEARS without even tackling anything else!!!!!!!

Instead I studied chemistry in college and joined the army and became an Infantry Officer.

I don’t know what I was thinking.

Even in my own chosen field of computers, I could have started work with Google in 1999 and not be working either...

However, what gets me is that sometimes I encounter a very surprising career which seems unique to these times.... One which is unexpected in it's immediacy being Ethics Attorney...

When I was 27 I interviewed for a job and ended up being one of the final two candidates for it. They chose to hire a 15 years experience guy instead of me. The company was a hightech startup that took off a few years later. But overall, I am happy, I do stuff that interests me and that I think is important, don't believe that I would have gotten that in the startup.

to study IB. I thought that he was a fool, we lost touch. He was a smart guy and would have been an exceptional engineer.

But could you stand to look at yourself in the mirror? If not, you are perfect where you are.

This was more sarcastic than not.

I am happy who I am - have three kids and a wonderful wife. No take-backs.

Just more an observation about life in general.
