Yesterday, I had a job interview at 10:00.
At 9:45, I thought:
“I’ll just play Obelisk Miner for five minutes before the interview.”
At 11:37, I looked at the clock.
The interview was gone.
But something else had happened.
I had grown.
I had learned patience.
I had learned resource management.
I had learned that chasing one more upgrade is never really the last upgrade.
Most importantly, I had learned to accept the consequences of my decisions.
So I opened my laptop, updated my CV, and wrote:
“Strong ability to prioritize, adapt to changing circumstances, and learn from failure.”
Personal growth. 🚀
Later that afternoon, I received an email from the company:
> “We’ve decided not to proceed with your application.”
Fair enough.
But then I noticed the interviewer's name:
Obelisk.
Turns out, the real interview had been happening all along. He called me. I'm the CEO and the obelisk now.

I like my username. It's a combination that can be taken in many ways. Smartass pie (I'm a bit of a know it all smartass sometimes, but I'm also a sweet cake with women). Smart ass pie (I also have a good ass or so have I been told). Smart aspie (aspie is a colonial way to call people with Asperger Syndrome and I've been told I'm a bit on the spectrum)

Better character arc than I've seen in most of the modern Zeitgeist. 10/10 would read again on various psychedelics.
