He went through (a situation) similar to me. His kids are still in L.A. like mine were. That’s a tough deal. You’re living in Tuscaloosa, your kids are in L.A.; it’s hard to get back and forth. There’s no direct flights. It takes forever.
“And then you’re working for coach Saban on his schedule, which as we all know is very time-consuming. I was not surprised at all.”
This is what gets me. It's so millennial-like, except these guys are too old to be in that group.
Here's the rationale if the guy is being completely honest:
"I make millions of dollars doing a relatively unimportant job."
"By accident of history, I am technically qualified to do this job at a C- or D+ level."
"Despite my mediocrity, the nature of this job is such that, there just aren't a lot of people out there who do it."
"That last point, coupled with connections and being completely fucking lucky, helped me to land a gig at a pretty good location, where I will be given the best tools and work under one of the best people in my business."
"If I even just try to not fuck it up, as opposed to actually being good at it, I will be a part of great success, I'll be able to hit anything that walks in the area, and I'll make even more money."
"I am qualified to do exactly one other job in this life: sell cars. This job is WAY better."
"Despite the clarity of the foregoing facts, and they are FACTS, as in 'F - A - C - T - S', I don't want to have to put in too many hours coaching a game that I used to play, and still watch, for free, and I want - I insist on having - an optimal way to fly back and forth to LA."
The thing that kills me is that all of that is just exactly how it is. Kiffen thinks the same way. They've both been absolutely blessed and have been given much, much more than they are qualified to handle, and they both have so much attitude about it ... as if this is the way life is supposed to roll.
It is unbelievable to me that we live in a system in which someone as shitty as Sarkesian can have what he has. If you really think about it too long, you'll jump off a bridge.

The distinguishing sign of an expert is they were not surprised by an event that already happened
"Hey Bill, were you surprised he pulled an eel out of his ass ?"
"No Fred, eels are the optimun shape for anal activities, it's not like he did a Yankoff with a flounder"
With this one exception:
Eh. I suppose she'd be too old now anyway.
