I think you’ll be a good teacher btw. I feel a little guilty for railing on about it in the other discussion. Lisna is right. It can work. It’s no secret here I have sour grapes. I mean, I honestly believe I got a lot of ****ty cards right after getting hired and I have an honest beef but that doesn’t mean my experience is the only one possible and I shouldn’t spew off like it is no matter how deep my personal disappointment. That said, try to keep an exit strategy in your pocket. And that’s really good advice for anyone anywhere.

2. Don't worry about it man. I know you had a ****ty experience and I get it. I don't take it personally. And frankly, I think I'll eventually go get my master's to do something like counseling because what I like the most about teaching is the student relationships and working with them to address emotional problems. But for now, I like teaching.

Certain consumer items truly are worth their weight in gold. I wonder how much money the tech repair industry has charged through the decades for fixes that involved nothing more than a couple of spritzes of CC?

I have two amps that have been kickin' for 40 years. Where today can you make an investment like that? That's why I buy only vintage whenever possible.

I just take a firm position given my penchant for open source and responsible consumption to abstain from supporting corporations that engineer their devices to become bricks every 2 years or who lock down content from the end users' control. Don't get me wrong - 90% of my listening is not my vinyl library but lossless content from my server, and I am over the moon about the incredible convenience of instantaneous access to hundreds of thousands of recordings at archival quality free of charge. Every year or so I give Spotify a try but it has consistently failed to meet any of my needs. You can't browse by catalog number, there's no discography search parameters, you can't select between different masters of a recording, and their classical search is miserable. When I survey an artist or a label I prefer to listen to their complete catalog chronologically so I can observe the evolution of their sound, and I prefer an organized folder-based browsing structure of albums, EPs, singles, side projects, collaborations, live official and unofficial recordings, mix sessions, demos, etc. Spotify doesn't seem to offer any of that. But I suppose that I am not most listeners.

For classical especially, catalog number would be really nice but the truth is those premium recordings very often are not available anyway.

Studying for my Driver's Permit. I got a 56 the first time I took the test, and learned two new pieces of information since that, or at least reviewed stuff I already knew. My sister's boyfriend says I can use his car when the time is right, but all of this seems like it is going to take too long. I am getting impatient.

The record store I go to all the time doesn't know much about classical music so they generally put it in the dollar bin and I capitalize on that.
