Surely, work must be more fun than this. And for you, almost as lucrative. Or at least lucrative enough to where it's a decent option.

Meh. I was extremely fortunate to do well for myself at my last job, so I don't really need to go back to the 9-5 world again. Besides, I have had enough of corporate bureaucracy for a while. I might go back to the startup world at some point, we'll see.

The thing is that I really get off on seeing the people around me lose. Last night I got to sit next to a Rolex-clad mouthbreather who's been playing and losing for years. He bought in for a rack or so with $100's, then went bust. He then pulled out his wallet and, to borrow from a Tommy Angelo short story, discovered he had "struck Jacksons". He bought in for 5 $20's, lost that almost instantly, and left. I loved watching him do that, self-destructing again for the thousandth time. It really made me feel good.
