i did do, in later years, some odd jobs during my breaks. Like stand-up comedy, and polling. I was in NYC, standing in the rain outside a comedy club during the day, hoping to get a chance to get a chance to get a chance to get onstage. Then a pretty boy asked me if i wrote my own jokes and that just blew my mind. Now i wonder if that was a trick question? Anyway i finally decided i would prefer a warm dry office. At least i had the sense to have an umbrella.

Just saying - other jobs are pretty horrendous. What are the pros and cons of yours? You have a lot of autonomy in your actual work, dont you? Even if it is driven by requests.
