Funny enough, that was one of the reasons for not taking the job at the time.

There were, in fact, cool rocks.

Way back in 2017 I was offered a job managing a small retreat center in the middle of bumblefuck nowhere along the shores of Lake Superior.

The pay was exceptionally low, but it came with housing and food. 8 months out of the year would have been spent just being there and keeping the place in order, the other 4 were for hosting guests.

I went back to school instead.

The fuck was I thinking? I could have ridden these shit years out as a weird hermit.

I like to say that everyone is deserving of respect, but few are deserving of deference.
