I started my previous job with a bag of lies and no technical knowledge. I learned sql akin to the way Will Smith learned about stock broking in the Pursuit of Happyness -- anxiously and haphazardly in the dead of the night. Even now, when I feel a modicum of certainty in my skillset, I still feel like I entered into the workspace with a bag of lies and no technical knowledge. Concurrently, I feel this way as I am learning HTML to bold my fonts on this particular platform. I realize that the only way to test my HTML works is to save and check, and when I save my file, I alert the founder and so now I am diligently gathering knowledge on w3schools, anxiously and haphazardly in the dead of the night. ~~~
I am constantly amazed by the vast quantity of time I spend trying to prevent my pet [a species that supposedly survived in the wild for centuries without any assistance] from killing himself. Everything he does is a two derivatives away from death. Eating poisonous plants despite refusing to eat regular vegetables. Bolting out the front door onto the street because his excitement simply cannot be contained. Leaping off a hill to chase after a bird he spotted from the corner of his eye. I often contemplate the evolution of the canine species, which adapted to accommodate the desires of humans, and consider that my pet, albeit unassuming and massively stupid in many ways, has evolved to the higher caliber of his kind -- he has my undying love and cash. I keep him alive.
