You contemplate, every day about a career change? I mean whining about what you could be doing is awesome. Doing it every day at the same time kinda ruins it :)

  Probably something outdoors since he's watching 'parcs and rec' lol

  Haven't a clue, I don't like working with clients anymore, and running a SaaS is out of the question since everyone wants to do it and it's not as dreamy as it sounds. I'll figure something out for sure.

So uh...what does your wife do?
- davzie 9y ago
  She looks after my son all day, ensures we have groceries, makes sure all the clothes are washed and ironed, cleans the house, takes him to play school, makes sure he has clothes that fit him, organises birthday presents and cards and gifts, is endlessly patient to name a few. She has a harder job than I do.

    Why do clothes need to be ironed? Who still wears stuff made of linen?
