So it seems we're agreed on one thing: I need to look for a different 
type of job.

(I guess really it was silly to think I could be a programmer in the 
first place; the most popular programming language in the world is C, 
the one language I'm very bad at.)

It's possible. But I've yet to see a city besides MK that isn't stricken 
with a tangled road network that can't handle the traffic volume, and 
buildings that are old and crumbling. Maybe there is such a place, but I 
haven't found it yet.

Well, yeah, it's not exactly news that I need a new job.
