I see a Quixtar/Amway type pyramid marketing pitch coming soon. As soon as a friend calls me and starts talking about residual income and retiring when all of our friends still work their hands to the bone blah blah blah, I can always bet on what is coming next. Maybe I am wrong in this case but I have been bombarded with this stuff lately and they have all started out with the same rehearsed sales pitches with a bunch of statistics and projections. The last time I was on a plane from Denver to Detroit I heard it all, finally I got it through his head that I actually really did love my job and I get to vacation as often as I would like. I am not saying there is anything wrong with this stuff but some of these people just dont let up. okay there is my rant.
Professional poker player. I have a good life, really; money to do what I want, set my own hours, etc. However, as they say, “it’s an aweful hard way to make an easy living!”.

I also work in a cubicle (elec. eng. for local electricity company) and I too spend most of the day on T-nation website and I?m probably on average do 15mins of real actual work in a given week. But it looks like I?m working.
Useful tip I?ve found for reading the articles: paste them into a word document so as not to attract attention.

Jayhawk…I’m a radiologist too–did my residency in Wichita, in fact. I’m in Los Angeles now, but I think you chose the correct coast, and I’m hoping to move out east in a couple of years.
