You get it. A couple phrases I live by (taught to me by the haggling parents generation); "you never know unless you ask" and "the worst they can say is, NO" These don't need to just apply to goods and services either. They have lead to very interesting and life altering experiences that wouldn't have happened if I didn't ask a one sentence question.
yeah been off that as long as the news. reddit, HN, github, & usenet are my social now which is funny because only 1 or 2 actual friends probably even know about these sites. i am waiting for aim to make the big come back! I only go on socsh every blue moon for a couple friends that refuse to communicate on anything else and to see pictures of all my cousins and their families -usually around the holidays to spell check their names. haha.
brush the teeth, a little deodorant, then sit with a homemade americano in front of a unpowered monitor. I like to mumble "His name is Robert Paulson" until I can at least fake inspiration, then I hit the power button. I'll space out for a good 45min to an hour before I get around to any real work. Next thing you know its time for proper pour of single malt scotch another day in the books..... eye on the prize, champagne wishes and caviar dreams.
