your city probably won't add transit service when they suddenly force everyone back, but just think of it as more you time

I love sitting by myself in a steel box waiting for every other steel box to move 2 miles in 1.5 hours traffic congestion my favorite

Well, better to sit in a steel box by yourself than sitting in a steel box with a lot of other people and getting sick.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sitting in a steel box where someone else drives, you get to spend your time semi useful. Either by doing work, reading a book, watching Netflix or playing games.

Yes, living in a country with a good network of big steel boxes, I sometimes also use them to get to my destination. A lot of the times they are rather full so I have to stand and stare into the air.

But mostly I am using my metal bars on two wheels so that I am not protected from nature and reach my destination equally fast, but full of sweat. But safe from people entering my personal space and spitting their illnesses into my face.

I think I once saw a documentary about this, where the introduction featured an average Toyota Corolla driver on their way to work... moving slower than a geriatric using a walker.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You can walk faster than that.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, but car centric planning, man

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, i know. My little town is shit for walking.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana 3 points 1 month ago

I actually in reality live in a really good place for walking and cycling, but I do understand the pain in the ass that is traffic congestion and "just add more lanes, man" mentality.

Billy, how do you want to make me rich(er) when you grow up?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'd rather work in an office than food-service or retail. A workshop would be good too, rather not on-site construction.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

In a workshop making shovels for those outside people am I right

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A small shop couldn't complete with a factory for something generic like shovels, it has to be custom stuff. I used to work at a metal shop that did that, till earlier this year, as a design technician on programming the cutter and press break.

My wife worked there, too, but the company hit financial troubles. She found a new job at a shop making ducting and delivering it. I ended up in a bakery for a couple of months.

People that work outdoors are far tougher than me!

I've been a food runner, a cashier, store support, retail systems technician, and done tradeshow setup all across the country. There's a job fair at the Naval Shipyard in town that I'm hoping might have something I could do.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana 1 points 1 month ago

I don't know about that, we've got a local shovel maker actually. Probably depends on many factors whether or not such an operation works out but it's certainly possible.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I work from home, love my job and make a great salary. I also have ~10 years of food service experience and would prefer to go back to that than to hear my office-working coworkers complain about the same shit I hear in the monthly meetings every day.
