I came to the conclusion that I was unemployable two decades ago. I was a bad employee, non compliant and generally more interested in the 'why' than the 'what'.

Most employers (especially Govt agencies) have little interest in the 'why' or doing much about it. Sure, this has probably meant that I have missed out financially (compliance pays well they tell me) but I describe what I do now as 'fun with a sprinkling of work' - and I don't hate myself either.

Best moment of self-awareness that I ever had!

Sounds like quite the revelation, Shaun. I might be approaching something similar, if I haven't sailed passed it already but only becoming more aware.

Thanks for the heads up on the Nobel prize winners' call. I agree completely. No thanks on the Kylie idea though. Foo Fighters much better.

Heh :) I’m sure I could find a way to make them fit together on a workout mixtape
