Well.......

Without going into a huge amount of personal stuff, I'm really not capable of the whole 9 - 5 deal where they expect you to be there every day, and on top of that, expect you to be there on time.

So, after a mind blowout about...98, I started thinking of ways I could support myself and the boys that didnt' involve a 50+ mile round trip a day with overtime, etc. I was online at home from 97 on, and knew that somewhere in the computer was the answer. I then started going to school. (Christ, if I could undo that decision, and just have went straight into porn!)

So I went to school for 3 years. Picked up a couple of associates degrees. The realization that I was eventually going to have to do something started hammering me on the head. It was about that time that the notion of porn started to finally seep into the vast mental wasteland aka my brain.

I decided to 'learn porn'. I had never seen a paysite, a tgp,...anything. The simplest things would throw me for days trying to figure them out. Like how to easily mirror pages...keep a recip database...etc. Finally I got onto the adult boards, and I lurked a good deal before I started posting. Began roughly Feb 04, and went full time adult by Feb 05. And today I'm with a company that is run by great people, and I still have time to do my other work.

The beauty of it is, if my boys need me, I can be there. My oldest is at Purdue now, but if my little one is sick, big deal. If the classroom needs a trip volunteer, I'm there. I'm at home when the boy walks in the door each day. If I'm having one of my 'bad days' and I don't work, it's all good. If I start work at 2:00 a.m., that is all good too.

I can't imagine a better job.
