Oh my...
I planned to be a Doctor or at least do something in Medicine, but I discovered the nice effects of certain weeds and other stuff to early, so I messed up my studies and got thrown from school before I finished College.
Well, in Germany it´s called Abitur. And without it you get no higher schooling.
After that I crashed badly in life, working at about every job you can learn fast and continued my *studies*.
That is, till I started thinking about what I was doing all the time, at about the age of 30.
Construction, service, logistics ... you name it, I did it.
Since then I learned about metallworking, electro and hydropneumatic controlling systems and CNC,
quit it all because of health issues and got myself another job in Tech service.
Currrently I work in techsupport for a big telecommunications firm I hate dearly, and get payed by an outsourcer I cannot help but laugh at, but it pays the bills. And I run my own little Janitor service as a 2nd job.
Reading, writing, philosophy and family... and my second major Hobby : Medieval Reenactement and / or Role Play.
I have some connections to our Theatre, too.
Drop out who managed to land on his feet ;-)
And I don´t really miss much, after finding my wife and myself, even if it was late in my life.

I'm a lawyer. I wake up and law on people. I eat some lunch, then I law on people some more. When I get home, I make sure to get on my office's VPN and law some more. When I go to sleep, I dream of how I'm going to law on fools the next day.
One of my characters on Discovery is black.

That's how I take delivery of them and I keep them that way although one of my four has been named "Problem Child" as it just likes to be difficult!
