There and Back

My boss has 12 Bitcoin. Currently that’s $1,157,478.72 USD. He was wearing a twenty five thousand dollar watch today. One of many in his collection. Get him talking about watches. That’s how I build rapport with him. Smile nod and say things like “wow” and “no way.” Let him talk more than me. Don’t get me wrong I don’t mind chatting about watches and I wish I had an expensive hobby like collecting top tier timepieces. I have a $40 Casio. My most expensive hobby right now is jiu jitsu. $135 a month. I’ve only gone eight times in three months. No wonder I got my ass kicked last time I went to open mat. Speaking of ass kicking, I have a $600 vet bill coming up. My older dog needs an eyelid tumour removed. Poor guy. I’m sure he’ll be fine. I bet if I had mined Bitcoin in the early 2000s like my boss did I would be able to afford a hundred dog eye tumour removals. C’est la vie. Así es la vida. Such is life. Maybe next time when I’m reincarnated as a sysadmin I’ll be rolling in cash. Here’s hoping.
