Genuinely surprised my daughter's K-pop obsession was not able to do more to offset my dad's Classic Rock influence for my in-car listening profile.

Ever since I was about 8 years old, my unattainable dream job has remained bullpen catcher for a major league ball club. Zero pressure, only work when it's nice out, put shaving cream on people's heads during boring day games, and belly flop slides on the tarp when it's raining.
I generally have said that my unattainable dream job is "Late Night TV Talk Show Sidekick", but in recent strong contention is "Cleverer version of myself who provides humorous narration of my life in retrospect."

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help
