14. I know nothing.

Jan 2014

I'm total failure in the "career" category.

So it seems it will be odd "contractor" 1099 form jobs forever and I may die on the streets if I turn out half as nasty and crazy as my grandma was. At least she had a good union Rosie-the-Riveter welder pension and a house that was paid for when she crashed and burned.

I don't have any safety net but family and a long family tradition with relatives who never were fully functional in ordinary society.

But I really don't want to be the family subsidized hermit, the guy who comes to the family picnic and says nothing, staring at the ants on the trees, God-only-knows what's going on inside his or her head.

I write stuff. Here I am.
