So I began playing XCOM on the normal difficulty. Easy so far, but I expect that when I began battling other aliens it'll become much harder.

In other news, Sheeponia is no longer a country.

Well, Plumbing is not a job for everyone.

Arguably, I could have taken my dad's sprinkler repairs business, and in the future I might go get my Licensed Irrigator's license just for shits and giggles, and maybe lease out my license and just go out and pull out permits and shit like that (that's what we do here in Texas as a common practice, and it pays rather well to do so, drawback being that if anything goes wrong in an installation that falls on you).

However, I wouldn't take my dad's business directly, too much hassle.
