I hear that. I've got my nice public sector job that I'm really hesitant to leave for private sector right now.

So, do I stick with the soul crushing job and hope I can retire in 10 years, or jump ship and maybe end up getting laid off?

I also don't want to get stuck working a ton of extra hours for an insignificant amount of money more than I make now.

I'm turning 50 next year and I'm definitely getting to that part of my life where super high stress and massive workloads are for someone younger.
Just say screw it, move down to the islands and become a bartender at a tiki hut bar on the beach like Tom Cruise in Cocktail. Looked like a peaceful life till he knocked that chick up, then started banging the rich lady and moved back to New York City with her 🤷🏻‍♂️

Have 2 strong job leads. One almost offered without me even talking to someone in person. I said I'd prefer to see the worksite and equipment first lol and see what I'm signing up for. I think it's at a bread company warehouse.

2nd one is for a warehouse run by Penske. 12 hour shifts, but 4 day work week every single week. Wage a little lower, but with 48hrs every week 8 is OT every week. 🤷‍♂️

Either one would be a return to warehouse Yard Jockey and not highway driving anymore so not stuck in the driver seat for hours.
 
Yeah that will help him

I haven't post here for a while, some very random thoughts

Either the world has gone nuts or me. A while agao, I was on discord what I made a remark I thought was a simple joke, & got the most bats*** crazy responses. I simply use the word "puusy" to make fun of someone being timid.

Apparantly, this was a Taboo word, & told I should have use the word "coward" & the word is being banned.

I said they cannot be this sensitive, & got bats*** response that we are over this for hundreds of years.... & question I know why I use the word "p****" instead of "coward". I think he/she is implying I am some sexist or something....

Am I the bad guy here and not keep up to time? or the world gone super sensitive.

Edit. Apparently the word is banned here as well....lol

Some words are banned because advertising

Fair point.

Anyway, my issue is not its 2023 & certain words are now Taboo ( I think its oversensitive but whatever), but the bad faith take that because you use a word that until a while ago, that was okay, & wasn't intentionally mocking the fairer gender (99,99% of time) anyway, that you are concously or unconisously being sexist or something.

Stop being such a pvssy and get over it.
 
Was just messing on my tablet and an option to view location / travel history pinged in notifications. It almost makes me tired just to look at it.

I mean, this is over quite a few recent years and different companies. I used to run out of Marinette, WI down to the Midwest and dreaded Northeast. Then I moved south and did a lot of regional SE running for Paper Transport delivering a lot of Georgia Pacific freight.

More recently, I helped get a new ALDI warehouse going and that had great pay at first, but the hours dropped a lot after last holiday. They did fly me out to other warehouses in Indiana and over in Fort Worth, TX so did some runs over there.

Kind of interesting to look at while I ponder looking for another job or if I even want to keep driving. 😛 The bummer is driving a big truck is actually kind of cool, but the work hours can be insane.

Don’t you hate when you don’t exactly have a “runny” nose, but you have like a little snot bubble in one of your nostrils?

It's just an outmoded insult that is, yeah, inherently misogynistic and kinda cringe, really.

I've gained a lot of perspective on what a lot of my women friends have to go through just being the gender they are and what men do to them because they think it's "no big deal" or "that's just the way it is", but there are things we definitely have to change our minds about as, y'know, a society and the words we use are a part of that. I mean, using "gay" as an adjective for something that kinda sucks is something we had to phase out too, for very good reason.

I have gay friends that still say it to other gay friends, granted they’re a few decades older than I.

It's different when the affected party is doing it versus someone else using it as an insult, too.

But sometimes they did intend it as an insult. But it has been a good moment since I’ve heard them or anyone else say it….well maybe when I went with my partner to get her hair cut and some of the stylist would say it 😆

I should've phrased myself better: it's different when a gay person uses "gay" versus someone who isn't gay using it as an insult/slur. But you're right, it seems to be phasing out entirely, so it's only the olds holding onto it.
