Turned out that I was the Alpha Dog in the room...and took over as we were failing to accomplish anything. At the end, I was leaving (who was that masked man?) and mentioned retiring to some friends there. an Attendee with a major think tank (young guy is cheap suit...but with a PhD) walked up, gave me his card and suggested he could hook me up with a position at around twice my current pay. Tough call, but I really just want finish my current projects and retire. I really only want to work somewhere between 2 weeks and 2 years...so not really eager change jobs. Just goes to show that there are more jobs then people with skills.

I know from whence you come and what you have achieved...I understand the true grit that it took to come from having nothin...ball busting perseverance. You have achieved wonders and I tip my hat to you for that. Partially that is why you show little sympathy for sloth..
But I also hold you to task. If you want to look at it , one reason why I call attention so often to the debt stuff is that they are robbing guys like you, who started from nothing, sweated, earned, sacrificed and saved every dime you ever made to have something...you are their pigeon.
For me it goes back to my Dad and Mom to, he would be in the same boat as you if he were still alive. To honor his sacrifice I suppose is the reason why I do it... I have to pay them back..
