I have six people in a dire need of tutoring (each at least twice a week) and found a few people in the building wanting to learn how to play chess. The latter is fun and rewarding. Three nights a week I work as a cashier at a nearby supermarket. Finances are OK without dipping too much into my savings and I don't even need to commute anywhere. Could be better, could be a lot worse. Plus I have a lot of time to catch up with my reading list.

Still looking for a job that's at least marginally related to my skills and interests, but half-heartedly. It's hard to stave off apathy about it.

How do you feel about a goatee and doing something illegal?

Heh. I have a goatee. As for illegal stuff: no, and not even because of some moral compass or whatever. I know that I have a breaking point and will hopefully never need to find it. However, there's something about me that makes police immediately suspicious whatever I do. At this point, I sincerely think that if a patrol would see a knife fight and me jaywalking, I'd be the one taken under arrest.

...and your background in physics gives a whole new level of justification to being called "Heisenberg"...

...or "Oppenheimer". Depends entirely on your illegal career of choice.
