Wake up at 6, leave Stamford at 730, at desk by 845. Leave anywhere between 1030 and 1. Get home, jump rope for 45 minutes. Go to bed, repeat. Zero life and every bit as depressing as it sounds.

How are you "very good socially" yet live such a non-social life?

Played basketball whole life, drank and chased women during college? Current conditions haven't made me lose previous human attributes.

Jumping rope for 45 minutes is good
