The "What's on your mind?" thread

I feel like Amazon could be the job I've been looking for since I graduated, which would surprise me.

I have different goals in mind for me as to what I would be doing with my when I graduated high school (I went to college, but it's a long story). Then 24 years ago, I got this job cleaning the building where I work and now I am a property manager. Before that, I was the building manager (when we owned the building). I've been at the same location for 24 years. Never dreamed I would do this, but it works and I don't hate it. I guess that's all one can ask for.

As a delivery truck driver, or as a CEO?

Well of course someone comes and all i said was "hi". He heard the exchange and was rolling

Delivery driver for decent pay and benefits with steady hours

Why not go for a CEO so that you can buy a super yacht and be near the top of Fortune magazine?

I think I'm gong to rewatch 𝕺𝖓𝖈𝖊 𝖀𝖕𝖔𝖓 𝖆 𝕿𝖎𝖒𝖊 𝖎𝖓 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖂𝖊𝖘𝖙 soon just to remind me what a well constructed film it is ... in my mind the best in the west.

I don't feel like being a ceo of a fortune 500 company is in my wheelhouse

I stopped at the Dollar Tree today to pick up some cookies and candy and to my surprise, they had French onion dip. I picked some up along with a bag of potato chips. I don't think it will taste anywhere near as good as the Lay's I'm used to but I do look forward to trying it out later.

If you have air conditioning in the truck and a portable toilet and a fridge for cold water it's all OK.

I want to get a queen mattress for about $200, looks like membership mark is a good bet.

Upset that my credit score dipped (I hate the system, I think it’s bogus), but a lengthy unemployment period will have that affect.

I wanted video game car chases to feel like Bullit and Ronin. The weight of the car, the physics, maneuvering traffic instead of going top speed, pedestrians, beautiful vehicular destruction. A game JUST about the chases, that controls more like a sim racer, with support for the same peripherals. What I got instead are plain arcade mechanics and empty streets in every game. The circuits of racing games bore me. Takes too long to learn them.

Man, that sounds fun.

Sounds like a regular day driving in this town and dealing with the drivers as well.

So I did the theme park thing. Had a bit of fun but the one ride I wanted to go on was closed and I had to disembark from another because my belly wouldn't allow the harness to snap closed. The good news is there were virtually no long lines so I was able to breeze right through. Had it been July or August I would've had to endure 2+ hour waits. Totally not worth it for rides that average 90 seconds in duration. Plenty of scary rides I'd never set foot on, though. Not at my age lol. Getting old sucks.

BTW, food prices were insane. Average meal costs $24 and change for what I consider tiny portion(s). Small bottle of water was five bucks

Six Flags in NJ. I love them too but I'm soon going to be too old to attend them and get on the rides. I feel like this last trip was my theme park swan song

Sorry to hear that, man.
