sariel85343y"all you're doing is sitting on your ass all day!"
This is a direct quote from my parents when I still lived at home decades ago.
In my old age I can look back and see what they needed, but they certainly didn't articulate it well enough.
I sat on the computer teaching myself development from 10am til 4am. I only stopped for food and bathroom breaks. My family wanted my help around the house. I should have set work hours, but I didn't.
Fortunately I learned enough that catapulted my technical understanding light-years ahead of my competition and was granted a very well paying job.
One that I might add supports that same family that complained I was "sitting on my ass all day".
The schadenfreude is delicious. -
@sariel same occurred to me.
Today I don't care anymore bc this doesn't happen like before.
When the money comes to my pocket, no one says a single word.
And that's good. But I'll open my own office.
Oh I will. -
sariel85343y@ChristoPy if you have the land, Judy build one of those tiny prefab sheds in your backyard.
Had I not had the space in my home already for an office, that's what I would have done.
