Je suis le Roi. Morții mătii alfel.

Well if you haven't watched enough Eastern Stories you just haven't watched enough Japanese raising the flag.

By the way, time is relative. To my wife it took a couple of weeks to answer the "прибыли" question. To me it's genuienly hard to distinguish between my onw men and you fuckers. Cheers nevertheless.

What drives us around afterall, ain't it?

p(et)it beneficiu I'm putting myself in the shoes of a field soldier who'd talk with you on what he knows. I understand 100% what you mean although we are Romanians, allegedly mixed up with Slavs, Hungarians, Turks, Bulgarians, other-definitely-non-Latins and so on. On the other hand I'm...

Nah man, latest book I read after "Beria - My Father: Inside Stalin's Kremlin", something with Japanese brutality to American prisoners and while reading "Afgantsy: The Russians in Afghanistan 1979-89" is Ernst Jünger's "Storm of Steel". Gotta tell you, it pissed me off in the beginning and...

Yeah, I know. You're invoking #2 here which renders your post useless. What if there: 1) Are no better jobs. 2) By reasons and circumstances I can't get them. Case #1 you might slighlty emotionally feel my pain, #2 gets you into JSOP's category: blame the victim. The Russians knew that...

I'm an outlier. Don't judge me by the wisdom of the masses, which is what you're doing here. 1) Mass wisdom is perfectly fine with working SOME job and also implying it's your AWESOME life purpose. Masses are imbeciles and truly, directionless and purposeless. Give'm something and they'll...

Today was a regular day: woke up at 6 AM to go to work, got back home at 6 PM. If I'm to start working on my personal project, I do so with a performance / productivity penalty of -12 hours. If someone thinks an hour is an hour, no matter when, they're at best an idiot, at worse assholes who...

LOL :D

Exactly. I'd definitely take that! Only experience tells it's usually less money and more crap :) Most likely this is what I'm going to do: keep my job and grind on my trading on a side. So nothing changed aside some venting :p

Well, maybe a bit what you're saying but probably not for the reasons you think (will talk about it later). Anywayz, your post reminded me of this:

Your name aside, he got a Mercedes so it's like super-hard to guess what that country, much smaller than US, is :D

I'm clearly not starving. On the other hand, ask some $150k / year engineers from the Bay Area (ideally also with wife and kid(s)) if they're absolutely thrilled by their jobs and 'overload' class status, it's the same here. I'm also fully aware there are guys in this world who have it a lot...

Assume what you want. But from your post, you're fully aware that the state of things is some unstable and unlikely lucky flip of chance rather than the deterministic result of hard work and education, so we should shut the fuck up, bow our heads and thank our overlords for the chance of...

Make no mistakes, I'm a family man. It's just that you can't always take advice from risk-adverse persons (i.e. wife) when you know that long term success or even survival depend on taking some calculated risk (although with all calculations, you can never accurately predict the future). Ideally...

I'm smart enough to be able to do anything, from aerospace engineering to microbiology, got admitted top of the class at the hardest technical university in the city and one of the best in the country. I want, need the freedom to choose what I work on and all the options I had so far were far...

Leaving aside that I'll likely NEVER accept defeat, you have to also consider the serious disadvantage / handicap you're fighting with. It's a rough competition and if you don't work in the RIGHT place in the industry, you have far less resources to invest in winning this game. I'm saying right...
