Parsimonious.

To the top...

... and I promise not to "like" this post.

The story is simple, as most are. A twenty-four year old boy enters an industry that makes him a man. That industry experiences a "redefining period" that hadn't been known since the late seventies, when Carter was in office. If you want to get political, that's not part of the story just yet ...

I'll never regret how I was trained (or not) nor the personal demons that made eight years of my life more difficult than they should have been. Then I ran across some folks who make the old cliche about hindsight ... a wise cliche. I was surrounded by incompetence and became such. I always cared but that wasn't enough.

Walking into a forum being somewhat blinded by some of the professionalism was kind of new. I liked that, still do.

I realize that I hold on my shoulder a bit of disdainment for the industry to an extent, but moreso my experience within it. Karma is what karma is, where I was ... no longer is. And the others have proved themselves totally incompetent. Eventually, I'll out those others ... not because of that disdainment, but because I don't want anybody dealing with that type of bullshit. Doing anything with your home (buying, refinancing, making improvements, etc) is an important gig and deserves a bit more than a call back that you never receive.

Wait, I need clip-art to make this post more readable...

There you go.

When I got a different gig, I wondered if I would be good at it. Turns out, I just may be. And as the corners turn and the folds of ridulousness wrap around my neck, I think it is time to lose all matters of critique. Maybe it's time to focus on what is right, comment on what may be wrong, but assure my time in the industry was well-spent. No sense in swallowing shit ...

This story will end, self-destruct, and be yet another example of being righteous when the turn allows. Don't get me wrong though, we allow every turn.

Ironic, this post is and will be anything but Parsimonious.
