I actually love my job as a software engineer! I'd rather do absolutely nothing else, as a boring desk job where I sit around looking busy all day would bore me to hell and I'd very likely make 1/3 what I'm making now. I find exactly zero interest in a "people job" even if it paid more because I wouldn't enjoy it.

So, the reason I do the job I do is because of personal fulfillment and money. Beyond the bare minimum of survival, that's why people do the jobs they do. It's not rocket science

Homeowners absolutely have a say in their local elections, and there are many cases where they've directly prevented projects from moving towards.

How'd you manage to negotiate that? Must've needed you pretty bad if they were willing to relent an entire day. Salaried or hourly?

I'd argue it's more the homeowners themselves. They don't want high density housing built near them because it drives down the value of their house, so it doesn't get built. Voting records tell that story extremely well.

Oculus is by far an infinitely superior brand name

I sleep every-which-way. Some days stock still on my back like the dead, other days on my front sprawled out, and other days on my side. I've got pretty broad shoulders and the purple pillow (the flat one, not the poofy one) and medium-firm mattress combo does wonders for me. On my side I sink just enough into the mattress to lay my head flat, and on my back/front works just the same. Not sure how well it would work for you, and Purple is a bit pricey, but I highly recommend them. Just make sure you try them out at one of their locations, first. The grid is easy to get used to (I got used to it in a few days, and now I never notice it), so try to ignore the texture, just go by overall feel

I got used to the texture pretty quick, and it's well worth it. I even got a purple mattress, which is just as great

I'm definitely not paid by Purple, haha
