    I’m starting to think that a private jet is a better investment.

    Everytime I go to SA/NB/SM from Austin, I laugh at the sign right at the county line (Hays maybe?) that advertises $20 helicopter rides. F that. That doesn’t even cover fuel lol. I’m not trusting no $20 helicopter taxi.

    Only thing wrong with that video is the lack of Ride of the Valkyries as the background music

    Flying is overrated. I'd settle for an electric scooter.

    WFH was a large part of the calculus moving up here. RTO orders have added a solid 4 hours, 150 miles to the weekly ledger. It's draining my spirit and my bank account.

    I was doing so poorly with the hybrid schedule that he promoted me. :shrug:

    I've been applying again. I really like my job, especially my office-mates but I think I'm selling myself a little too short.
