This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

When they retire, some parents like to move to more rural and out of the way areas. It can be really difficult, sometimes impossible to find a well enough paying job in the middle of nowhere.

Happened to me; work in the tech sector in engineering as a tech and will be continuing classes for ME and/or EE. No way in hell would I find a job where they live that makes use of my experience. (I'd likely have to start anew by flipping burgers or be a slave at Amazon)
