SUMMARY
This forum discussion centers around the lives of individuals, specifically their work and educational pursuits, with a focus on the contrast between mundane jobs and personal interests. Participants share their experiences, such as working in a supermarket and studying, while referencing Albert Einstein's early career at a patent office as an example of how seemingly unremarkable jobs can precede significant achievements. The conversation highlights the importance of personal passions outside of work, suggesting that a lack of excitement in one's job does not preclude the possibility of talent in other areas.

Are you suggesting our OP is a budding Einstein? He has made a couple of dozen posts and not a single one of them has anything to do with physics, as nearly as I can see so he seems to be here just for chit chat, which is why I asked about any interest in physics.rootone said:
There's nothing wrong w/ being here just for the chit chat, it just puzzles me that someone would choose a physics forum for that when there are (as I understand it anyway) numerous forums on the internet where that is more the purpose.

No, I was only meaning that having a boring day job doesn't exclude a person from having passion decication and just maybe an immense talent in some other field.

Anyway he asked you about your own life not Einstein"s or his

This is very true. My job gives me no thrills, but my outside-of-work life is very nice.

Or maybe working in the supermarket is not necessarily boring.

One could enjoy reading the physics, but not discussing the physics.
