Last thread started from this cubicle

The following is a brag, so if your not in the mood just head back to the CT homepage

So today is my last day of 9 to 5 for at least awhile. No more awful commutes on the subway every morning. No more sitting in this grey windoless office. No more hours on end staring at structural drawings. No more drinking coffee in the afternoon because I'm bored and it will keep me awake. No more always having to listen to music on my headphones. No more eating lunch at a desk while I do work. This list could go on and on and on...

Because starting monday morning I am a full time poker player, and aspiring professional baseball player. I have pretty lofty goals for myself in the next 6-8 months. I think if things go ok I should be able to reach them. If things go really well, then who knows !?!?

I've started a blog to chronicle this stuff, but more for my sake than others (I seriously doubt my life is that interesting). I have yet to write the first post. I'll link it up when I do.

brag over with.

Re: Last thread started from this cubicle

I too am starting monday as a pro player and am leaving my current job. In 2-3 months after I starve to death I hope everyone still remembers me.

Good luck Jim.

I wish you the best of luck and hope to say someday "I knew TMJ2K when he was only __________"

Awesome!

May the grind be with you!

Are you going to continue solely w/ the online thing?

I was very close to making the transition too till I had the ungodly positive variance flow stop. I hope you do well!

Good luck on the field and at the tables Jim! I know you'll give 'em both your 110%
