I've been in IT over 20 years and I say "wee fee."
Never asked them directly, figured they tell me if they wanted to but it never came up.
Nothing notably odd outside of their lifestyle. Neither one did drugs or drank. The VHS guy crashed in the ranch manager's garage, which was my neighbor, so I'd chill with him and watch movie sometimes. They both had a great sense of humor.
They showed up to work on time everyday, worked hard, and just did normal stuff off-hours. No reason they couldn't stay in one place as far as I could tell. I was 17 at the time, so I could have missed some cues, but nothing made them stand out.
We all made $5.25 under the table and got free lunch. It was a pretty good gig for a teenager and someone that didn't care about taxes. I guess once they got enough money under their belt to move on, they did.
I've met two. Used to work with them on a ranch when I was a kid. Cool guys, wouldn't live in the same place for more than three months.
One of the dudes carried around a tiny TV with a built in VHS and a handful of movies. The other guy was just heading South, I think maybe going to Mexico.
When they decided to move on they just left, no goodbyes or heads up.. just gone one day.
200000 beard-seconds tall.
"So what's the charge code you want me to use on that last email?" normally gets the point across.
Dudes so stressed his eyebrows are going bald.
Was just about to break into Cracking the Walnut, which is an evaluation and translation of the writings of Nagarjuna by Thich Nhat Hanh. I've read all that I can find translated by Nagarjuna, and excited to see things from a new perspective.
Before that was my third (failed) attempt to get through the Simarillion, and revisiting some Jiddu Krishnamurti.
When god gives you lemons, you FIND A NEW GOD!!
Right now I'd say pass, after the big patch who knows. Really lazy writing in the story, every quest midgame is a fetch, and if you do a single event you will get OP in one session.
If you grab it on sale, don't spec into wall ride for your parkour. It will constantly interrupt your jumps and hangs.. Makes me personally nauseous and I play in VR half of the time.
