    Rat is a drunk, not an alcoholic. Alcoholics attend meetings.

    If everybody only did what they love to do, most careers would be unfilled.

    Unfortunately, you can love to do something without having the ability to do it even moderately well. Of course, that doesnā€™t apply to Rat and getting drunk.

    Find out what you love but if itā€™s not lucrative then find something else you love. Making lots of money and enjoying your career are equally important. Money makes a lot of things possible, for example buying groceries and living in a nice house.

    Mr. Rat, you donā€™t need to get drunk because marijuana is legal now in many states.

    Rat should cross over to ā€œWizard of Idā€ and meet the drinking master.

    So I found something I love to do but my boss doesnā€™t like the fact that I do so he makes it painful.

    There are a few exceptions, of course.

    Find what you love, figure out how to make a living at it, go bankrupt.

    I donā€™t know about a blanket kibosh, Al. Iā€™ve actually seen several pantsuits where I would ā€˜go thereā€™ā€¦exploration was on my mind.

    My cosmopolitan extended-barrio has only one Playboy-class person who wears such. She has nearly started riotsā€¦old RW ranchers, slobbering on themselves and gabbling under their breathsā€¦a couple of the local atv cowboys needed first aid, but sheā€™s stingy with mouth-to-mouth with strangers. I took the old guyā€™s nine-gallon hat and fanned him with it.

    Well, as long as you keep your standards high, Rat

    .

    This reminds me of the experiment where they put a rat in a cage with morphine, and the rat overdoses until he dies. Our Rat doesnā€™t need the cage.

    Success is all in the measuring.By the measure of what I could be, Iā€™m an abject failure. By the measure of what everyone thought Iā€™d be, Iā€™m a resounding success. The truth is always somewhere in the middle.

    Pigā€™s success would be managing to eat too much without being sick.

    My, my, my! Rat knows what heā€™s doing, whether you approve or not, Goat!

    On the other hand, Iā€™m not so sure Iā€™d say Rat has ā€œa successful career.ā€
