    Kinda lame when you explain your jokes. The humour is in the subtlety. At least you know for next time...

    Well in my particular case I came from the ****ty IT position and I got a job highly beyond my expectations. Although I had no previous professional experience they decided to take a risk and it all turned to be my second nature, as I used to deal with the stuff as a hobby. So anything I've learned at home is going to come very handy now - my pleasure, twice more money - I'm happy, they're happy - everyone's happy.
    Now thats very interesting that you mention that, I was also reading this book called the Element by Ken Robinson, its about tapping into your passion and what you enjoy in life and doing it for a living, he goes onto say that some of the happiest people are those doing what they love, or their hobbies as jobs, obviously, but that earning alot of money wasn't a big factor in their dream job.
    (I reccommend this book to anyone trying to find their purpose in life, especially in a job type situation.

    Well I never really cared about money, I have enough to live and support my family. I don't really give a sh1t about money.

    All I care about is to DO something interesting, be useful, develop, get more knowledge. Me, myself, my level of knowledge. Money comes with it as a "side effect" :)

    I like your oddness.

    Money not being the end all and be all, seems to be an odd way of thinking.

    No change from the ould "Tiger" in so many ways.

    Hope all goes well for you.

    I really thank you, guys. I've never expected to meet so many genuine, nice folks here.

    I'm having a bit of a Captain for you. God bless you.
