I'm sure you will find a job which suits you better, being freelance or not.
Your next FS won't be read as most other FSes ...

Man, I feel bad about this, guys.
I am so glad to be retired right now. I'm the kind of employee that

Sorry to hear that news, Larry, but I'll second the suggestion to go
