[torginus]

I dunno, I think I got more out of it than I put in, but it was mostly due to happenstance and knock on events, and my name sounding more familiar to some important people, but this wasn't really in the cards.

Imo if you don't do stuff others dont you wont end up in places others dont, which might be good or bad.

I mean, one of the biggest raises I got was when I brought my dog to the company cookout, and it turned out my boss's boss was a huge dog person, and we bonded over that, and he decided I was a good guy, which was kinda ironic as I was working my arse off to little benefit at that time.
