GuyJee Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I'm a programmer. I never touched LSL though. It's enough with 8 hours a day being a code monkey, by the end of the day I am too burned out to even think about coding. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am the same sometimes, but other times I enjoy LSL because it’s not my programming job - no deadline, and I can walk away and come back months later. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another software developer (programmer), reporting in! LSL was one big reason why I joined in. I am programmer, because it is my passion (getting money is nice bonus). I did try scripting business here very short time, but unfortunately schedules took away fun from it. Still doing some scripting for my own fun. Trying to learn koe Blender. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sad that you got injured as well... And also curious whether you phrased that intentionally... getting burnt out as a pastry chef makes me think of something getting burnt in the oven... and after getting burnt... became a fireman... in-te-res-ting ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still vexed by something I've discovered I couldn't escape via retirement... ...me. I admire people who speak multiple languages well. The challenges of mastering even one seem to require all of my ability. As I learn more about how the language we use affects our perception and thought, I increasingly wonder how minds like yours work. I've very good friends from Iran, who speak Pharsi, English and French. They don't just know the languages, they know the cultures, and they know the cultures well enough to be wonderful storytellers. If I want to have a deep discussion about Mark Twain, I go to them. In turn, they bring me Voltaire... or Bob Newhart. Edited November 4, 2018 by Madelaine McMasters 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her parents requested time-capsule notes to be secreted away until her 18th birthday. The gist of my lengthy treatise on curiosity, play, and storytelling, on the cusp of her adulthood was... don't go there!!! My personal sampling of SL residents indicates that our population is disproportionately filled with people who have various issues that make employment a challenge. I'm glad SL is here as an outlet, particularly since I get to enjoy the result. Thank you all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
