Eating can be a terrible addiction

Life is wonderful when you no longer lay in bed thinking about what you’re going to eat in the morning because your stomach is telling you you’re hungry. Or feeling guilty for the amount you just consumed

I bet it was not being in the second Gladiator that did it.

16 years ago today I got the call informing me that I had breast cancer. Sure didn't think I would still be here.

We’re glad you are!!

I requested to separate from my company today. I have been bullied by two VPs repeatedly over the past 2 years. I documented everything. I requested a formal investigation from HR. The result? not only is their behavior considered "normal" for a high pressure startup with 4 companies, but it is warranted. I do not want to be part of this culture. I toughed it out for 3 years with a 90 minute commute each way and 60 hour weeks.

So for my next venture while out of work, I am going to be officially a professional poker player. That's right, my principal source of income for the next month is going to be from the tables.

I've treated it as a side gig for years, playing in private games, casinos, online. Now it's gonna be what I do while I find another job.

Life's too short and work takes up so much of the time you have.  Good on ya for taking a stand.

Good luck at the tables.

I love poker, but could never make as a professional. After 40+ years at it, I calculate that I’m about $11 ahead.

I am in the interview process with two firms. It will take until the new year at this point to get it all done. May as well play some cards and have a laugh.

I hope I can remember my kennys for this forum and the other. I think Boru will get it. Kenny is on my work pc.

Wouldn't mind being canceled from work today, but I'll see when I get there.

Also, planning on saving my PTO for after the new year when the weather's cooler. Will take ten days off, likely.
