It was strange keeping change from a customer.Β

He didn't come from any successful place. The richest dad he knew growing up soldΒ

gravel
for a living, he still doesn't remember which one it was. But through coincidence or whatever, by the time he reached his late 30s he knew three people who were worth at...

The walk back to the office was probably the first decent part of his day. Things weren't perfect but he didn't feel terrible. Maybe thatΒ
whiskey

The woman who didn't check time
After leaving her job, she didn't view
time
the same. Instead of using the 24 hours she began segmenting each day into six markers. There was no concept of seven o clock anymore.
This was her system:

The ground moved enough over the years to break theΒ

Thoughts about my favorite college cafe
Almost everyday, my favorite
cafe
in
college
drew a crowd. The only days it'd lay bare were holidays when almost all the students went home. Besides that it was a squeeze, and I'd often have to share a table with a 'stranger' during peak hours.

Drive as meditation
"I don't get it. Why do you drive all the way down there. Come on tell me the truth, you're seeing someone. No? Well then you really just like thatΒ
cafe

"Yeah. Simple as that."

Bodyguard
When people find out I'm aΒ
bodyguard
they are surprised. They expect a bodyguard to be 6'5 270 pounds or something, but that's not always the case. I mean I have coworkers who are that size or even larger, but those kind of bodyguards act as more of a signal...

Dental UV lamps
He helpedΒ
dentists
become more effective. That was what he did, though others called him some kind of consultant title, but seeing as he didn't like being associated with
consultants
, he chose not to take on that title openly. Instead he preferred to tell people that he helped dentists.

Hungry Car
