Things are moving fast here...my future is uncertain but I am driven towards a goal.

Here is the gist of what is going on...

I knew I was smart and I loved physics so I decided to earn a degree in it. It was a struggle those four years but I got my degree. Next step was graduate school and while I did fantabulously well on the standard GRE (Graduate Record Examination) I failed pretty hard at the physics GRE, twice. It turns out I suck at math...well not really...I suck at advanced math. I've learned in the past few months that I had survived as long as I did in physics b/c I simply have phenomenal problem solving skills and an ability to memorize math sequences (but not actually learn them).

So with Physics PhD dreams dashed I sorta fell into dark cave with no light to help me out. Eventually I became fed up with the self-loathing and realized...I am not good at math and therefore physics...but that is ok. I've proven that I am smart enough to get as far as I did w/o real talent for it. Once I realized this it was like putting on night vision goggles and am now making my way out of the cave. I'm a problem solver and I know that I am needed in any number of industries. I've also learned that I can still have my dream of working in a science lab doing what I do best, hands-on problem solving.

The nature of this self-discovery has led me to forget this wonderful community for some time now. I am not really interested in Freelancer anymore, perhaps I've just grown bored with it, which is natural. I just think it would be appropriate to share that knowledge with the rest of the community here since I am still a member of several great factions.

To the BAF, Order|, RFP, Wilde and NovaPG; you guys have been great but it is time to move on. I most likely will not return.

There are so many people here who have made my experiences on Disco really special. I won't name you all, but if I've called you a moron, dumbass or weirdo over skype then you know I will remember you:Dand think you are great people.

I'll lurk the forums now and again and inject my opinion when I feel like it. Maybe once in a while I'll take a Starflea for a spin and do some light RP but I am leaving the bulk of my commitment here behind.

Good luck to you all and live freely and happily!

-Rich

Rich, all the best my friend. Let me know what career/job you're drawn to. You could always teach high school!

We'll miss you in the Wilde.

Astrophysics!

But... I suppose that'd require a different educational path. Sad face.
Come teach in Indiana... Believe me, we're in desperate need.

Bai bai, Monk. G'luck in life.:(

Heh...took a couple classes in it...never really liked it much. Maybe it is b/c I don't like predicting for things that are so far away.

But yeah...things are really starting to move fast here now...I'll be moving out of Chicago :'( shortly to pursue a jobs in Kansas City where I have a lot more influence. There is one that looks very promising that has me working with massive cooling towers...now I just gotta wait for that juicy federal stimulus money to come down the pipeline and break up the hiring freeze.

Oh Stink! Another shiney one bites the dust.

Well, that explains why we never got the trade rings in Honshu counted correctly, mate.

Solar energy...?

Stay in touch, ya weirdo.

Great to hear from you, Monk, even if it may be for the last time.

I wish you all the best on your way. Godspeed.
