This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I did the self-employed grind, lots of 12 hour days, lots of downtime with no work or money coming in. My wife hates instability to the point she refuses to let me invest our money anywhere (we use a managed mutual fund... ugh). This means it was get stable work or watch her hair fall out from stress, so I took what I thought would be a shit job but turned out to be a decent one.
Get this: after working that job for a bit she says "I'm worried you have no ambition". No shit I gave up my dream to work a mailroom. Anyway ended up back in IT not long after getting certs in my work downtime.
