That's actually similar to one of my realistic dreams I have for my life. I'm really interested in being either the Fry Guy or the Burger Cooker/preparer at an In-N-Out. Something about how easily you can measure your progress during a day versus an engineering job or a program management job. You can say "I flipped 496 burgers today", and feel proud about that. It's actually one of the reasons why I loved working at Walgreens. The pay sucked, but I really enjoyed interacting with customers, stocking shelves, and straightening things. One of the big kicks I already enjoyed doing was asking the visible over 18 women (say in their 50's) for their ID when they were buying cigarettes. It always seemed to make their day as they said "thank you" in their now very hoarse voices and they smile (side note, I've always had a very good rapport with older women and flirtation for funzies, not sure why hah. Maybe because you know nothing will happen that it becomes easy to joke around)MediumTex wrote: One of the reasons I started my carpet cleaning business is that I like the feeling of making money from manual labor. It reminds me of how working class people live every day.
It feels sort of like getting paid to work out, which is cool, though I'm pretty sure I wouldn't feel that way if I did it all day every day.
Although I think a lot of it is fake at this point, I love the premise of the TV show Undercover Boss.

The John Kasich who seemed to bubble over with rage in the first couple debates and then figured he'd get more play if he pretended to be Mr. Rogers seems like the real John Kasich to me, and I'm not sure he seems like all that decent of a person.

Human behavior is economic behavior. The particulars may vary, but competition for limited resources remains a constant.

None of these guys are perfect. Kasich just seems less shady than the rest.Pointedstick wrote:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Z0oQ9r ... e=youtu.beochotona wrote: Kasich is a really decent person.
