I'm quitting my fucking job finally

In two months, granted.

I asked some of you for feedback (thank you lil edit: and veen!) about an invite to Beijing I got from a family member, and I'm taking him up on it, leaving in May. I'm taking advantage of the opportunity to also visit Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and a place I've been interested in for a long time that has recently become quite a bit more open to visitors, Myanmar.

Two years of lame, meandering experiments, rejected publications, staring at a computer pretending to work, an 1:20 hour commute daily (one way), mismanagement at every step, and finally left with stock in a company that I get to watch slowly dwindle before I can even sell it. I've definitely learned a lot about what not to do. That mostly consists of "Don't ever try to go the FDA route unless you got hella money and a really, really solid plan."

But I sure as shit got paid well.

Now I get to ignore the foreboding future a little longer while I try and plan out this ridiculous solo trip.

Another quick tip I've learned: kindleunlimited sucks, but you can dl everything to your kindle, bounce that to your computer, scrape off the DRM, and voila, $200 worth of Lonely Planet guides for the price of a free month of kindleunlimited at amazon. Don't tell me I'm a thief, just tell me I'm a good one.
