Did you steal this line from Harvey Danger? So original.

Idk what this means but im just saying go buy a boat, tackle a home project, get a dog, build something, grow some crops, hang out with kids/grandkids, travel, brew beer, shoot guns, archery, hike, ski, workout etc. There are plenty of ways to fill your time if you're bored without working for someone else. It's kinda sad to see the old timers that go get mundane jobs just because they don't like being at home.

I always thought it'd be fun and educational to work in an auto-parts store.

I legit cringe every time I go into the parts store and have to deal with a woman because it always seems this is why they are there. Extremely limited relevant knowledge.

I would love to be blown away by a Mona Lisa Vito, but nothing even close yet!

eating a thin crust pizza with pepperoni, shrooms, fresh basil, and white truffle oil with some crushed red pepper and Parmesan on top...plus a $13 glass of Katherine Goldschmidt cabernet on sale for $7 - it is all very yummy to my tummy

If I can get an air conditioned cab I’d bush hog for the parish

Or

Get a job at a camp ground picking up trash bags on a golf cart or side by side and doing other simple tasks that keep me running around the grounds all day

I volunteered at a dog rescue for several years. A lot of good dogs and good people. A lot of weirdos too.

That’s exactly how it’s said you should find your career. If you had enough money and you didn’t have to work for money, what would you do? It doesn’t always work. I said professional golfer. But they don’t let you on the tour when you shoot 104 on a regular basis. So I said ok, how about I want to be a an astronaut. Turns out they don’t let you do that if you’re out of shape and afraid of flying. Finally I just said, ok, I just want to be a loser who plays video games all day. And that’s when they said.. great! Because that’s what you already are!

as you said, probably something a HS/college kid might do. A menial, probably boring, but ZERO STRESS job to keep my hands busy and get me out of the house.

“I want a job with as little responsibility as possible “.

I had a buddy who's dad was a VP at Texas based Department store. They were big sponsors of the Mavs in the 80's and 90's. His dad was the contact for all of that. He got to be good friends with an NBA executive .Even after he quit working that company, he got complimentary tickets for every NBA All Star game, free lodging and invitations to a bunch of the parties. He retired in his late 50's after being the president of another department store. left Dallas for a small town in Alabama, bought a convenience store and became a bookie. We used to call him from Dallas and place bets on Saturdays and Sundays.

The crazy thing about him doing what he did was he had always told us he wanted to buy something touristy in Hawaii and move to one of the islands. His son, who was my buddy, moved to the same area and made a fortune installing satellite dishes in the late 90's. He had to mount them on poles because most were sold to people in house trailers.

I would travel and read
