I live in a town of roughly 25,000 so nothing is more than 10 minutes away, but my job is now literally 2 miles down the road

It's hard to explain. I both like and hate my job at the same time. When I try to like my job they give me plenty of reason to hate it but for the most part it's easy but it gets difficult at any moment just got to keep your wits about you and not let the bull shit get you down.

I started working here in southern China in mid September. I love my job here. I get my own monthly stipend for my apartment and the cost of living is so cheap, I barely spend a quarter of my check. I paid off my debts and now my only bill from home is my monthly storage fee. I love being right next door to Hong Kong and for Chinese New Year I spent a week in Cebu, Philippines. I get the normal homesickness and it sucks having to watch the Chiefs at 5am but this has been an amazing experience.
Wow. That's pretty cool.

I'm fine, thanks for asking. I get to write for a living, which is nice, even if I'm not particularly interested in what I'm writing about. THanks!

No complaints. Sold my largest business last August. I could comfortably retire today at 51, but wtf am I going to do? I enjoy working and having the financial comfort of taking off when I want to. I love my little Company I have right now - myself and my biz partner. We do deals that interest us, and take on a fun project now and then. It’s all good.

I love Chinese food but when you eat it every ****ing day it it gets old quick lol. Luckily there’s enough western food joints here to keep me from going crazy.

It's mostly financial risk that is out of my hands.

I can mitigate it enough to not lose everything, but I can't really keep from occasionally working all year for free.

A person I used to work with, whom I looked up to, told me this about a year before he retired:

"When I started doing this, it was a career. Then it turned into a job. Now I go to work."

Yep. I’m probably going to work for free this year. Yay!

I'm generally happy. However, the success of my job often depends on my patients doing what I tell them to do, and often times, they don't. That is frustrating. Fixing someone up, only to have them come in 6 months later with their teeth covered in fur/cheese, is very much a bummer.

Which one is that?

For us artists, anatomy is still just anatomy to learn from.
