@c I'd go barefoot for a chance at a year without C++
For all of those people who ask me, "What do you want for Christmas"..
Rather than answer, "Nothing, damnit. Same as last year" 1
I'm going to answer, "A year without C++"
I'm not a 'things' person
@c Windows just arbitrarily decided I was in GMT. Boom. Just like that. Looked at the timestamp on something I just built and caught it. Weird.
It'd be lovely to just pick something silly and bury myself in it. It doesn't even have to be a GOOD something.
Node.js, even.
Anything.
Just pick it apart and play with it. No deadlines. No expectations. Just doing it for it's own sake. Eat, sleep, hack.
@matigo A little mental instability sort of goes with the territory in this line of work.
@matigo Oh you're closing in on it. Or, I should say, it's closing in on you. :)
Small tumbler of bourbon on the rocks. Just enough to take the edge off and relax.
I will not ponder the mis-step of my youth where I had the chance to go off and be an artist because that'd only invite more bourbon. There's medicine and there's a crutch.

Mid-life crisis? Possibly.
@matigo Perhaps, at some point, I can do this for "me" again. That's what I hold onto. :)
@matigo Only myself to blame. I saw that trap being laid years ago and I didn't take the opportunity to bail when I had the chance.
Too much is on my shoulders now for a graceful exit.
