Michael Burgess has retired and is living his best life

Retired

When they said fake it till you make it, they didn't offer any advice for what you're supposed to do when you don't make it.

As a fantasist with main-character syndrome, I have stumbled through half-arsed careers in the narcissistic expectation I would ultimately be "discovered" to be a "natural" talent in some field where despite not having paid the requisite dues or undergone adequate training I would wind up as a consequential figure for something or other.

I was wrong and, during this lucid interval, I'm calling it a day.

Some wags on Wikipedia created a page for Michael_C._Burgess_(editor) on which they're compiling landmarks of my mediocrity, falling just short of publishing my Twenty-Five-Yards Swimming Certificate. Much of it is plain wrong. Some of it is becoming a sinister encroachment on my privacy. It's wild that somebody has time for this.

If you have questions, my DMs are open @Byronik on Twitter, but I don't look there often what with being retired and all.
