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.
And there probably would have been cool rocks.
There were, in fact, cool rocks.
You woulda been living my dream lol
