Back after a few months!

[Jimi D]

Well, you're a better man than I am.

Better? I doubt it... More patient maybe, and with an abiding faith in Karma, or the idea that what goes around, comes around...

Daddy always said that success was the best revenge, and nearly ten years later, I'm happy, in love, and successful enough to be comfortably well-off... Their "relationship" didn't last a year, both have been through innumerable other partners, and both are miserable (and look it - they're just wearing away, the both of them)... of course, they're successful career-wise, but their lives are completely messed up...

Every once in a while my Ex calls me to bend my ear about how hard it is to find a good man, and what was she thinking when she let me go (she's nothing if not a master of revisionist history) and how lucky my current spouse is to have me, yadda, yadda, yadda...

brings a tear to my eye... really....

And I take it you never made it to her graduation? That's messed up.

 

[Supreeth]

Oh ya? Try this on... I put my EX-wife through University, working full-time at a ****ty job and foregoing my own education to support her, myself and my daughter, and two weeks before she graduates she leaves me for one of her profs!!

I should get a t-shirt made: I paid for a Phd and all I got was screwed!

Man, it's a good thing it was a long time ago or I'd be rustin' my strings too!

Oh ya... Supreeth, nice to see ya again buddy!

OMG. That sucks big time man! I'm sorry you had to go through what you did.

 

[Supreeth]

Oh god. This means I will feel like abused whammy bar pretty soon too :-( I'm starting grad school this fall.....

Supreeth, at least you can make it to the board once in while, so it's not that bad, is it?

It's not all that bad once you get into the groove. Are you going for your master's degree or a PhD?

 

[Supreeth]

Supreeth,

Did I mention that my wife also works full-time as a school psychologist?
Yeah, she's very organized, and goal-oriented for sure!
Her dissertation has to do with the impact of intern supervision on job satisfaction among school psychologists, or something like that...

That is indeed quite amazing Steve. Hats off once again to your wife!

 

[Supreeth]

Wow...I work on guitars....Now I am going to sit in the corner and sob

You have the best job among all of us here Jon. We should be the ones sobbing in the corner

I'm starting in a masters program this fall, but in a year I will hopefully move to a new school and hopefully start Ph.D. program there.


I agree Jon does have the best job among all of us!

I wouldn't mind Jon's gig, but I'd rather have Big Poppa's gig!

Not that I think it is easy to run two companies & the CLB foundation (and probably a whole host of other things we'll never know about).

But it would be much more meaningful to me than pushing paper and/or bytes.

+1 on the pushing paper/bytes

Still would love to have something like Jon's job. Self-managing and working on things I like come more naturally to me than managing others. Of course that's just my $0.02.

With all the things BP has to take care of, it's so delightful that he takes the time out to come talk to us forumites! 3 cheers to BP for spoiling us!
