wow, what a dangerous game is poker eh. I have gotten over my mini downswing now. I made the money back in two days.

see, for me personally, i have decided that i HATE to the point of literally not being able to stand it anymore, the world of employment. I've searched every corner for a job that i would love and the problem is, they all have these disgusting properties:

1. 40 hours of my life a week. Sorry, that's unacceptable.
2. having to get up early and stay in one place for 8 hours (while this isn't true of all jobs, it's true for anything like what i would want to do)
3. a boss
4. pretty much a less than fair wage
5. constant mundane work and pointless deadlines

poker, i've decided, is my last resort to earning my way through life without having those issues. Every time things go quite bad, that way out is threatened. So a bad day weighs heavily and a good day is transportingly wonderful.

Doesn't have to hit me like that, i know. But it's hard not to 'go there'.

cheers
