Why I Code/Admin

Journal by The Mighty Buzzard

I just spent all day running AC duct in the New Debar Fellowship Hall (what I've decided the remodeled church shall unofficially be named) with another day of it to look forward to tomorrow. That's what I did shortly before I got on at a computer repair shop/ISP back in the late 90s. I now completely remember why I enjoy sitting on my ass and poking at a keyboard.

    Woooosh!!! (...only stupid suckers pay taxes.)

    The Buzz just said that he didn't work full time and as a result pays relatively little tax.

    For his sake, I just hope that he has been able to put aside a nest egg for retirement...

      Nah. When retirement time comes he'll just code himself a crowdfunding campaign called Buzzard's Poor.

        Assumes that he doesn't have carpal tunnel (or any of many other debilitating health problems) and can still code. I stick by my suggestion of a nest egg.

          In the future, all coders will dictate their code to Google/Alexa/Siri.

            *Shudders* The cure is much, much worse than the disease. I guess I'll just roll my own voice-to-code engine. No, wait, I won't be able to type the code. Fuck it, I'll just code with my toes!

      Nah, I plan on becoming a burden on society. Fair's fair, society's plagued me for over forty years.
