Back in the dark days when I was a transient ward of the educational
system, counsellors would set me down and ask me what I planned to do
professionally for the rest of my life. They really really liked the phrase
"for the rest of your life", as I recall, and used it a lot. I'd answer
that I didn't know, because I hadn't yet seen a complete list of the
available options. To this day, I still haven't. Meanwhile, the time wasted
on these sessions would have been much better spent eating something fattening.
