I got a job. It has nothing to do with engineering, or anything really and truly satisfying in life, but it's a job and it makes money. Sometimes, that's the kind of job you take, because you need money. I specifically need money to get into engineering.

But I come to gaming for chilling, and there's the rub: gaming seems to think I have the time to invest 40+ hours of work time (possibly 40 hours a week) into their video game that pays me in bits. I've never really been a fan of that, but it's made even more in-your-face-annoying when you only have an hour or two each day to do something fun.

So now my problem is the polar opposite of what I had before. I'm left with no time, but plenty of money to enjoy gaming. I find I have absolutely no patience for monthly fees (even less than I did before, when I'd have the time to make good on the invested money), and zero tolerance for busy work. I think I find this most astounding because I always assumed that having more money would make me less stingy with it (trading greater quantities of money for fun), and that did happen. But now I have no tolerance for anything that falls into "not fun". I expected getting money to change me, not exaggerate my existing traits.

It's kinda cool to find out that there is some constancy to me after all.
