Besides, click bait is about the only reading most people actively engage in anyway. In that sense, you'll probably contribute more to the modern person's life than Hawethorne or Thoreau combined.* You're not hurting anyone and you don't have to deal with all the **** that comes with working customer service. Hang your hat on that and tell the haters to go **** themselves.

Oh I know. It is technically considered that but it pays well so I don't really mind

I don't even know what clickbait is (I know, shut up grandad!) - is it something to do with angling? Anyway, like the others say, whatever you're happy with and makes you feel like you want to work at it should be fine with anyone who cares about you.

And us, of course.
Best of luck.

I'm going to try to be as vague as possible this time because with what is happening right now, I really don't feel that it is worth sharing publicly. However, the only reason I want to make this post is to let people know that in the coming weeks, I'll probably be far less active than I've ever been in my time at this forum.

There have been many things that have happened this year that I'm not particularly fond of, and to find out what was found out recently, it just puts the nice lil rotten cherry on top of the cake that hasn't been eaten in several years.

Before you ask, no, I did not get someone pregnant. I wouldn't be sitting here writing this if that were the case. This particular situation is much more serious than that, but it's something I'm going to have to get through in order to grow as a person.

I'm not particularly excited for Christmas this year so I look forward to 2017 and hopefully with what will be happening, I can still have a good year.

More serious than an unwanted pregnancy? Jesus god, I hope you're okay.

I considered a rather witty retort toward Batty (not aimed at lil, surprisingly), but decided to take the high road and passively-aggressively ensure that he would remain the douche bag who derailed the topic.

I'm sorry to hear about your turn of bad luck, Ki, if you don't want to talk about it, you should go have some snuggle therapy with Dr. Munkustrap (yes, I have renamed your cat in lieu of more socially acceptable comfort methods.)
