You could look into being a driver for Cisco: they supply a huge number of restaurants. Might give you connections that you could parlay into working for a different food distributor as either a driver or salesman. I also knew a guy who power washed businesses, like the exteriors. Just showed up and washed the outside walls. I had no idea this was a thing. I think he had to do it overnight though, so might be potentially dangerous in certain areas.

I’m in this particular loop at work where I don’t want and don’t really need an account, so I’m going to pretend I didn’t see this and if you could ensure that IT doesn’t see this, that’d be great, thanks.

I so hope someone in Hollywood is working on this

Get a workout buddy. Can be a friend or spouse or a trainer, but someone who will make you show up because you know they’re going to be there and you’ll be a jackass if you bail on them. They’ll also make you look forward to the time together, and help you not think about being tired or sore or sweaty or how many left you have, whatever. I’m a trainer and my most valuable skill is making my clients forget they’re working out and that they hate working out. The less you hate what you’re doing, the more likely you are to do it, so find something you don’t mind, and then find someone you like to do it with. Start there.

If you want to get into gym life and weight training, find a good trainer. Date around and find someone you click with. The Internet is full of good and bad advice, but a real(that means certified) trainer will have mostly good advice. If you can’t afford a trainer, then stick to the machines because it’s harder to hurt yourself on those. Anything is better than nothing, but be sure to take your time because moving too fast causes injuries and injuries only waste time, set you back and possibly stop you for good. Learn to enjoy the process and the journey and this will become the lifestyle change people say it should be.

Good luck and be sure to have fun!

I do not have enough up votes for this

Seconded

I regret that I have only 1 upvote to give

I can’t remember the band or the song, but I remember the VH1 pop-up version where they told you tidbits during the video. The whole thing was 1 take (shot on film in those days) and included a part where they passed the camera through a car. The camera operator had to hand the camera off to someone, run around to the other side of the car and then take it back without it looking like that happened, and while everyone was singing in time. I was a film student at the time and in awe about how well it was done. So much so that I can still see that part, but I cannot remember the song.

I was thinking of working on a PhD, but enough people with a PhD have told me not to that I’ve decided maybe I should listen to the smart people and not do it. Best wishes to you, you tortured soul!

My in-laws told my wife that it was just the “music truck”. She had no idea it sold ice cream until she was in high school.

Had a Honda that we sold after 16 or 17 years. It was not without problems, but it was cheap to fix and ran very well for it’s age. Have a Chevy Tahoe now (but any full size truck is comparable) that is going on the same record. Haven’t had to do anything outside of regular maintenance, runs great.

Here’s the thing: don’t buy a really cheap car because those probably have problems and it will always be one thing after another. A big truck will run forever (I see dozens of 30+ year old trucks on the road) if you take care of it, but they’re sometimes expensive to fix and usually impractical if you don’t already need a truck. Any car you really take care of – and that means doing all the maintenance on time or early, sometimes whether it needs it or not – should last a long time. My Tahoe I take care of meticulously because it was very expensive, and that has paid off with stress-free ownership. Had a Jeep that was a pain in the ass every other month.

You can Google for a list of the cars that will go past 200k. Most of them are Hondas and Toyotas, but some American cars are on the list too. If you can find someone who works for a car rental agency, they’ll tell you the cars that are always getting repaired and the ones that never do.

In your field, it might. But honestly, what makes the biggest difference is who you know and how well you fit in where you work.

I majored in film with a minor in photo, perfect track to be a cinematographer. Found out I didn’t really like that industry, just loved making pretty images. I learned a lot of other skills but the most valuable one was how to relate to people and understand what they’re saying when they’re not actually saying what they want. I’ve since switched careers to something totally different, but I use so many things I learned in college unrelated to focusing cameras. You have learned a lot that’s going to help you for the rest of your life. You might not know it for a long time, but you’ll eventually find your way.

Some of it might be age. I didn’t realize until recently what I wanted. Got a new co worker who’s only a couple years older than me (I’m 46) and after a few days of working with her, I told her she’s ruining my other friendships because I’ve realized how boring many of my friends are. She’s just very easy to talk to and we can cover tons of subjects. We always have something to talk about.

I don’t think you can expect someone in their 20s to really know enough about enough things to really be euradite about much. They also don’t have as much experience talking with people to be remarkably eloquent. That’s not to say that everyone younger than me isn’t worth talking to, but maybe you’re scouting in the farm league and don’t know it. Keep talking to everyone though: one day you’ll find someone you hope never stops talking to you.

Same exact story. The whole first 2 hours I’m constantly having my kids Google Google how to lock the car, how do we adjust the mirrors, how do we turn it on, how do we change the radio station, how do we turn on the air, etc etc etc. On the third day my daughter is just trying to open the door and she yells “why is this car so fucking annoying?!”

It’s obvious it was designed by a child trying to look cool to the other kids.

There’s a Boulder instance?! Why was I not informed?

I thought I was there only one spring spring showing sorting sowing great avocado blessings to everyone! (Swipe typos left in for Emojis emojis emojis emphasis)
