I had a boss that decided not to pay my commission for 3 months, so I took my rolodex and walked out.
2 days later he called and asked me where some files were, "same place as they've been for 2 years." He demanded I come in to show him.
I said $40,000.00 in cash and I'll show you my filing system.
I counted the cash in front of a bunch of employees, showed him the file he wanted and walked back out.. Paid.
This reminds me of a friend i had in uni whose parent was really famous, but you'd never know it unless he told you. He kept everything so low-key.
I once asked why he didn't flaunt the status or wealth, and he said, "Being low-key is the best part. You get to live a normal life, avoid unnecessary attention, and know people like you for you not because of who your parents are."
I slow cooked a pork roast for 8 hours, but when I sliced it, I saw this weird shiny green and rainbow reflection on the meat fibers. It looks like gasoline on water.
Did the meat go bad ?
THIS IS WHAT BEING AUTISTIC FEELS LIKE IN EVERY INTERVIEW.
i had an interview last week.
he asks โwhatโs your favorite drink?โ
i say โwaterโ because thatโs the truth.
he rolls his eyes. โcโmon, be creative.โ
i go silent. because i donโt know how to fake enthusiasm for fake questions.
15 seconds.
then: โyouโre not what weโre looking for.โ
Yeah. I'm not. I'm what I'm.
I think I dodged a bullet.
i dodged a job where iโd have to pretend 40 hrs/wk.
