I am smoking a jay (the same as this morning earlier). It is ok if Brian loses his job? The house is paid off anyway at least and hopefully, no more smoking cigarettes at all by then. I dont understand BJG: He refuses to change ANYTHING about ANYTHING about his life and himself. Even when people are telling him it is not working. A man so educated and super smart with so little free will but instead little self awarness and reactivity to the wazoo.  In a way, he is super tense and uncompromising at all costs when he has to work with others. He is not like that at home though. But maybe he is just living the life he truly wants: he says what he wants to say (like I have the privilege to do), and charges onward. Of course, it comes with consequences. i have not wokred for a decade almost. And because I was weird and anti social, I lost a promising career early on. Can BJG live with the consequences of his free will (to do and say whatever the heck he wants in society and especially at work?)
