The ancient texts

Hello. Today I have discovered the single-most unappetizing phrase in the history of the English language:

[eliza @wlscarah]

in ap lang we had an assignment where we read past exam essays and guessed what they scored and this one became a biblical text in my friend group for years

This guy makes six figures driving people across a bridge they're too scared to drive over themselves.

He charges $40 cash. 10 to 30 clients a day. Some have been paying him daily for years.

He meets them at a truck weigh station, hops in their car, drives them across in four minutes, and gets driven back by his assistant to do it again.

The alternative route takes four hours through Baltimore.

Here's what's wild... and possibly a little concerning:
He said Airline pilots have used his service.

His wife even makes custom eye masks that say "I hate this bridge."

Steven Eskew has been running this business for years and has made tens of thousands of trips. I'll let you do that math.

There's a business for everything. I promise you.

There's absolutely no point sitting in an office for 90%+ of office jobs. You don't build those precious in-person relationships at work. Those people aren't your friends, they're your colleagues.

"Mentorship" is pretty much non-existent and can easily be done online.

Most people with office jobs are just pretending to be productive for eight hours a day, hiding in the bathroom watching TikToks, and taking endless coffee and smoke breaks.

If you're among the minority doing something genuinely interesting and important that requires deep focus, having other people around is usually just a distraction. Of course, if you want to go into the office because there are like-minded people there, be my guest. But for most people, that's not the case. It's a massive waste of time and resources when you factor in the commute, etc.

It should be completely optional.

Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???

I hate when a job asks you to set "goals"

My only "goal" is to remain employed so I can continue to pay for my living expenses while finding fulfillment in the areas of my life unrelated to a day job.
