Decent broadband so I can get at the Visual Studio documentation, preferably on a 4k monitor of more than 24in so I can actually read it.

Are you sure it's not the other way round?

Sounds like you're hoping for a lobotomy.
Hmmm. Maybe you've got something there . . .

People, in general, stopping being worthless bastards all year round and then spend a few weeks in December, grinning as though they were decent human beings; being nice to people they wouldn't even bother to piss on during the rest of the year.
So, what do I want?
Spare us all and pick an option:
>Preferred: Holiday spirit, as it is called, should last all year. People need kindness all year round.
Alternative: Spare us the pretense. Let your one sincere good deed, at least, be a reduction in hypocrisy.
There is no "season of giving" when people are in need all year round. Overspending and decorating things with little lights for a few weeks doesn't "fix it" for the rest of the year.
Because, if this current custom of conspicuous consumption is acceptable, one must draw the conclusion that Ebenezer Scrooge had it right the first time: "Bah, Humbug[^]".

Or more crucially a life that would allow me to look after a dog.
There is only one conceivable way that this could happen: retirement.
There is only one way that I could conceivably retire: my thus-far entirely non-productive Premium Bonds turn out to have been saving themselves for the big one.
The odds aren't looking too good
So, failing that, I'll settle for a nice drop of Remy Martin and a Doctor Who DVD like I do every other Christmas.

My boss brings his dogs to work on occasion and our one of our developers brings his almost every day. Just gotta find the right place. It's awesome when clients come in and see the dogs. They play with them and everything... kinda like you when you use a cute little puppy to pick up a girl And most of the clients are million dollar or more companies.

Trust me - you don't want sheep. Stupid animals prone to terrible diseases that can die from just rolling over onto their backs.
Pigs, yes. Especially outdoor-capable ones like a Gloucester old-spot.

You know how you herd a sow?
You follow her to wherever she is going and pretend that's where you wanted her to go.

Farming these days is one of the hot hi-tech areas. It's one of the biggest venture capital investment targets in Canada, and lots of acquisitions by the big chemical conglomerates. Satellite imaging, in situ monitoring, drone tractors, water and nitrogen management, commodity futures and yield predictions, genetic engineering, fields worth millions of dollars, it ain't Green Acres anymore.
If you don't have an internet connection the best you can hope for is to eke out minimum wage selling some "organic" specialty crop (no stems, no seeds) to geriatric hippies.

ha ha .. Santa can arrange this perhaps, with some work on your part :
1. come to Australia,
2. go bush (get out into the country)
3. find a farm for sale - chances are the phone line, ADSL, WiFi and mobile are rubbish (which is why the farm is for sale and the previous owners gone to the city, where .. guess what phone line, ADSL, WiFi and mobile are still rubbish .. just people pretend they work )
OK, so a little overly cynical, there are some good places and not everyone's phone lines are stuffed.
Merry Christmas

To ask for sane clients is an act of insanity!!!
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.
