RE: How To Write an Organically Trending and Popular Post
This reminds me of that one time I was working as a grocery stocker. The grocery manager took me into his office one night and was like,
Listen to me, @nuthman. (He said it just like that) I've noticed you working really hard around here. When I was your age, I was like you. I just want to ask you one question. How much money do you think I make, son.
I stared at him for like 2 minutes, and then threw out a figure. $25K per year?
Then he looked back at me with a really serious face. After a long pause he replied HIGHER!
So then I said, I dunno.. $28?
Finally his face turned red and he blurted out angrily: $38k!!! I make $38K per year son. And I just wanted to let you know that I am promoting you to manager of frozen foods. I think after about 15 years of hard work and dedication, you could be where I am today boy. Here is your new badge. Now get out there and show me what your worth! And don't piss off your new underling, she's on her period!
I shit you not, this is exactly how the convo went down.
In life, long ago, I was the I don't really give a shit, just do a good job and try not to make my life shitty kind of manager. I got bored of that career though, a few years ago. Blew my retirement savings on living, enjoyed some time off when most at that age are just getting started.
Yeah, I have been working from home for the past 10 years or so. My only fear is having to go work for someone again. I would join a buddhist monestary before going back to that life again!
I am really sick of working. Maybe I just won't do it anymore. Like the guy on office space.
That dude from Office Space is my hero.
hehe Yeah, Peter rocks.
