Default Re: If you were me..............

Good thoughts. One advantage I have is that I teach physics, and there just aren't that many of us around so I shouldn't have too much trouble getting another job if I chose to take more than a year.

I actually play about 30 hours/week now and I have a full-time summer job, so IMO 35 hrs isn't too big of a stretch. I am trying to account for the times when I'd rather eat glass than play, thus I have planned on taking off 7 weeks/year. The average working stiff grinds out 2000 hours/year. If I can't survive 1575, I should be shot.

I also hope I can improve. From what I read in HUSH, one has to be retarded not to beat 5/10 for more than 1.5bb/100 (I guess I'm retarded). Even if this is an exaggeration, IMO 1bb/100 is reasonable for me and likely on the low end of what I can expect. I hope.
