You better get a sweet job when all this is over.

I've always been surprised by what causes you to actually react. I didn't think you'd reply to me here. You have always been a hard person to predict, and today I'm happy to be surprised.

Speaking of DCW, I don't expect this game to hold your interest and I'd be disappointed if it did. You're too good for this kid stuff. Also, it's a bad game. I have said that from day one.

Speaking of jobs, I just started Monday as a developer with a company that works with Salesforce. I'm learning APEX, which is saleforce's java for dummies. It's my first actual programing, and no, I refused to system.debug '(hello world'). I am finally free of working in kitchens for low pay and no future doing tasks a monkey could do.

I cut my hair for this job. My pay is 1.5x what it was, I have medical insurance for the first time in 12 years, and I now get paid vacation, a lifetime first. There are travel opertunities as well as we have clients and workers in several countries.

As far as adjusting to the new environment, I'm terrified.

Where do I fart? How do I eat? Why is everyone sitting so still? Why is it so quiet? What exactly am I supposed to do?

The sound is especially difficult to adjust to. No exhaust system, no coolers, no ovens, no knives, no music, conversations half spoken and half in gmail chat... and I'm sitting instead of standing and walking. After so many years, it takes adjustment.

You should come to America and get a job as my boss. Hell, you probably don't have to leave home as everything we do is cloud-based. We could run our whole company with laptops at starbucks. The owner's "right hand man" (my new chef) lives 2 hours away and supervises the office entirely through VOIP.

Anyway, gotta go to bed and earn them big bucks.

Be brave.
