the only thing better than working remotely i can think of: having a casual summer job driving around in a truck in the woods in flagstaff, then collecting unemployment all winter long while traveling the globe, growing moustaches in various styles.

the grass isn't always greener, my friend.

Wow. I would hate to be your student.

I've had it both ways and the grass is equally green in that situation. But when you're doing the 6 months of boring ass shit for the gov (when not doing fun shit like burning out or falling burning snags in the middle of the night) with nothing to show for your accomplishments except a paycheck, it's burns on the soul.

@Malachi, true points and I'll add in find a market that is looking for innovate solutions and give it to them. I've got friends coding super useful little tools and making $2000 a week selling them for $27.

@Ipoach, you willing to work for $3.75 an hour? My pinoy's are. And they're better at design than me. And listen to Joyy.

Edited to make sense. Fricking turbo posters in here.

Now I remember. It was a good discussion but Substance 42 rendered some of it oblivious.

yeah and HTML/PHP never gets boring, ever. i've also done quite a bit of "nothing" and it also burns on the soul. just living burns the soul. lets all face it, there's no escape from the sucking vortex of death that life is.

Injuring yourself and inventing a new position so they can keep you on payroll might work.


Probably not for the gov, but I'm diggin' it.

oh, that position exists. But if the general pains of life weren't bad enough an existance known as working dispatch is downright suicidal. "Radio, are you there Radio?"

4 3 4? no ? ok you do it proper then. but keep in the bit about the beetle.

DM- your remote music supply is consolidating. my mom is reminding about father's day (he's getting sharon jones) aunts and uncles sending post cards and stuff, so there's a communications blitz forthcoming

another remote working option- mobile media lab- start your own station and broadcast
