Pondering
I have this 50's era TV clock. It is probably 50+ years old, looks like it was made yesterday, and it stopped working...
TV clocks are a blast from the past. This thing was made by GE, and it is a flippy number mechanical clock that is set inside a cabinet that looks like a 60's TV. Wood framed, that whole gold bezel surrounding the "screen" thing going on...
It is a cool piece of history, and it worked until recently...
I opened it up and hit the parts with a volt meter, and it is the fucking transformer. That is hard to fix. Nothing mechanically wrong with it, the fault lies in a coil of copper wire...
How does that break?!?

Plot your trajectory. Start at the bottom, then tell me where you are...
Happiness!
Start working again, because you are doing it out of a sheer love for what you do. This isn't the same as working because you love who you work with. Note the distinction.
Don't work, but have an ownership level that lets you do what you want and still meets all your needs.
Work because you love who you work with.
Work for prestige.
Work to take care of your family, please your parents, or distract yourself. Or maybe all 3.
Work to feed yourself and put a roof over your head.

Regulars...
So I have a natural curiosity about regular visitors to my blog. I picked out a regular and posted their info below. That being said, the sitemeter data isn't exactly a secret, so not like I'm breaking a confidence...
Leave me a comment telling me about yourself. Nothing personal, just why you visit and what amuses you about it. Or what you dislike about it. :-P
