exactly - they didn't walk out of college into the job.  I have been in the industry for 15 years.  Like ANY industry, if you are good at what you do, and you are willing to take the risks associated with continually climbing the corporate ladder, plenty of high salary jobs exist out there in the IT field.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

You are absolutely kidding me... We don't work hard in the Information Technology field? That's probably true for some second-rate call centers where the employees are doing nothing more than r

If you don't want to work hard, stay out of IT.  It's not manual labor but also not for the lazy or stupid which you seem to indicate you are.  I'd suggest based on your credentials and work ethic you

So to recap for everyone who would like to "contribute"....... You're a dropout who is self-described as stupid and lazy.  You're a general failure at most of what you do, even the easy things,

OMG, just found this thread.

I am an IT person who has tried, tried and tried for at *least* an hour a day to be successful, but I just can't cut it.  I have panic attacks when the servers go down.   I think they fell into the Ethernet.   or maybe wireless signals are the voices in my head.   I don't know, but I want to get me a cushy life on the golf course where I can drink and the cart girls are all model quality.   I am thinking of hitting 20 balls per day and playing 7 holes at my local muni.  After 7 holes I get tired.   How long will it take me to play on the PGA tour?   And do they allow carts.

Sincere answers only, please.   I believe I will have a good swing since I work with computers.  The typing is hard and builds up my wrists.  Also the other 7 hours of my workday I am scratching my butt, so that helps with my arm/wrist strength.  Man, it's hard!

Driver:  TaylorMade Burner 9.5 degree R Flex

Why not just realize today's American Dream.  Fake a back injury and go on disability for the rest of your working years.  It's way easier, and then you can sit at home, watching the 9AM news and laugh at all the working stiffs that pay taxes while they sit in traffic.

Is there a class for that somewhere?   I can do classes at any time, except 11am - noon.   Price is Right is on then.   I imagine you have to at least know how to lie on documents and do some good acting to pull it off.

no, you know those commercials for attorney's that you see during Price is right?  (not the bankruptcy ones, the other ones)  pretty much any of them will help you do all of that for you.

      Day 135 (27 Apr 24) - played Bradford Creek today while waiting for the missus fly in from her extended visit with the grands.  Good day to stay focused as it was a hurry up (groups pressing from behind) and wait (groups taking their time ahead)…a good day to stay mentally in the game - play the shot and not get frustrated in the waiting…

      Day 122: 4/27/24 Supposed to be a Stack training day but I was beat after yard work today. Practiced chipping and putting at The Creek. The practice green is pretty slow but the session went well.

      Went to the range today and was cursing myself when I got there as I realized I forgot my phone. I added an earlier wrist hinge to the short backswing I was using last time practicing and ball strikes were really good for the most part. I'm heading back to Boston Thursday to see friends and family and have a couple of rounds planned so I'm hoping to keep this feeling.  Yesterday morning I weighed in at 232. My goal had been 230 but maybe now it's 220. I'll have to think about that. I feel so much better without the extra 90 lbs. from 2 years ago. Still a softl slightly less protruding belly so it might be time to go hard on eating better. Work in progress.
