Way back in 2017 I was offered a job managing a small retreat center in the middle of bumblefuck nowhere along the shores of Lake Superior.

The pay was exceptionally low, but it came with housing and food. 8 months out of the year would have been spent just being there and keeping the place in order, the other 4 were for hosting guests.

I went back to school instead.

The fuck was I thinking? I could have ridden these shit years out as a weird hermit.

Sir, this is the plot to The Shining.

Funny enough, that was one of the reasons for not taking the job at the time.

[-] Norin@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

There were, in fact, cool rocks.
