Late quote bump, but have you thought about trying to make yourself closer to 40 with ~15 years experience? At least on your resume. drop the oldest experience and remove years from your education list.
i understand that people are proud of their accomplishments and experience but the name of the game is earning a paycheck not highlighting a server upgrade back in 2002. Don’t flat out lie but don’t broadcast that you’re 50. Make them assume you’re 40.
Im 56 and my resume wouldn’t have anything before 2008, which is when I started at one particular company. And when I’m interviewing a candidate, I seriously don’t care about any experience older than 10 years ago. It’s irrelevant for many positions especially individual contributors up to mid level mgrs.
That's a good idea. I go back a tick too much.
However, to be flat out honest, I think I've made up my mind and am getting out of tech. If I make a few adjustments, I don't really need much. Right now I've got $2500/mo coming in before I get out of bed, which will be up to $4k by late summer. And that's before any retirement payments from various things kick in, but that's 10-15 yrs away still.
Not a shitload, but more than enough to pay the bills and leave me with enough each month to be comfortable. So anything on top of that is straight pocket money for whatever.
The good thing is that affords me the opportunity to really do anything I damn well please. Whether that's part-time something, or whatever. I could volunteer somewhere a couple days a week if I wanted, and fish the rest. It's a reality that I didn't see coming at this point, even a month ago, but here it is. I've got enough runway to make it through 2026 now, and I think I'm going to sit on it until after the holidays and think it over after that. It's a big deal in my life path, but I can't just fuck off, I'd go crazy. Thinking I'll have to have a decision in my head somewhere around the end of May or first part of June, and then go from there.

I choose to believe that Bill is aware that Life Its Own Self is visiting upon him a Karma Rebalance of epic proportions, to make up for having Tom Brady create the myth of the indestructable Coach Belichick for him. He is not happy about it, but he understands the futility of fighting against it... and there are certain benefits attached to the process.
I prefer to think if it as a karmatic response to being a cheating piece of shit.
But the league doesn’t have the pure power like that of an MLB grudge.

Funny, yes. But Misery wouldn’t say “Ar-Kansas”, only fuckers from Kansas say that. Which means ol Darth Truman there would never say that, as they hate anything Kansas.
Now, lobbed as an insult to equate piggy to the same level of football existence as KU, might be different.
Still funny though.

I still like mine overall. Bluto is right though, lab hair is a bitch. I have to pull clumps of dog hair 2x/week from the onboard dust bin, but that’s kind of expected with any of them. As long as I do that, it’s fine at keeping up the daily grind. I still run the big vacuum once a week, but it doesn’t pick up much. Used to be emptying the canister 2-3 times, now it doesn’t even fill up 1.
Way better than the shark I used to have.
