Way back in 2017 I was offered a job managing a small retreat center in the middle of bumblefuck nowhere along the shores of Lake Superior.

The pay was exceptionally low, but it came with housing and food. 8 months out of the year would have been spent just being there and keeping the place in order, the other 4 were for hosting guests.

I went back to school instead.

The fuck was I thinking? I could have ridden these shit years out as a weird hermit.

Sir, this is the plot to The Shining.

Funny enough, that was one of the reasons for not taking the job at the time.

There were, in fact, cool rocks.

It is in my best financial and emotional interest to pass away in my sleep

I've been thinking about spending a few years dead for tax reasons.

This meme doesn't make sense to me, shouldn't "my plans" be above the guy in the apron and the years be above the bearded guy? That's presuming the intent was to say the plans were fucked up by the events of those years. In which case, the first panel is meaningless.

Why pay federal taxes when your existence is illegal? 🤔

Really? Right in front of my salad?

At least until 2029.

Late 2019 I was ready for 2020 to finally quit my dead end job and turn my life around. I can’t even remember what that felt like.
