While you stayed home and enjoyed all those holidays with YOUR family, I spent most away from mine, and not by choice. Not for three to give days at a time, but for weeks and years. So yeah, I see much of what you say as whining like a spoiled child who actually has had life pretty freaking good for the past many years. You say you never missed a holiday, and yet you whine like a little girl about how badly your life here sucks. Pitiful.

You’re right, we do not connect and probably never will because we came from different places, and lived completely different lives. I appreciate what I have today, and think that my time now at JB is pretty effing awesome, because I am NOT forced to spend time away from my family. My wife flies with me on the majority of my trips, which thankfully aren’t really all that frequent. My ankle biters are grown, gone, and successful in their own lives, in spite of the fact that we didn’t get to share all their Christmases, birthdays, and other holidays together. They are very well-adjusted, respectful members of society who are making their own way in the world. In spite of my former career choices? Because of? I honestly do not know. But I am proud of the adults they have become.

And yes, I am happy with my life at JB. You SAY your months are fantastic and you are thankful for it; if that is true, then stop whining like a little baby and man up and be honest. You come across to me (and several who have taken the time to PM me about our discourses) as a spoiled brat. If that is inaccurate, then I apologize. But it sure seems that way. Try spending weeks at a time away from your loved ones, or a year, and suddenly the two or three times a year your schedule actually sucks melts away into nothingness.

JB is far from perfect, but it is also far from a sh!tty job. If it were, I would not recommend my good friends to come here and be miserable like you appear to be. Or maybe you’re not, as you stated above. I really don’t know, but I will always call you out when your whining exceeds my belief of what is just and fair. So ignore my posts if you want, or put me on ignore, I really don’t care. I am happy working here, and some SJW on an anonymous forum will never change that.

Now, if you want to work together on CBA2 to make ALL our lives better, I am with you. If you plan to continue on APC like you have for the past 5 years that I have read your posts, then expect the pushback from me to continue.
