I’ve been cruising too long. I got a great job a few years back and I haven’t gotten any new skills. I figured I’d just work my way into a management position but they hired a schizophrenic woman who has actually been committed to mental institution instead of me and since then I’ve been on like auto pilot. I need to get a new skill and try to improve.
@threalist @lonestarr Not automated out of a job lmao
You could always drop eight hits of acid and feign schizophrenia.
@nanook I’d have to troon out first to get promoted. Not worth imo.
@john_darksoul 'twas not a serious suggestion, an attempt at humor. Been in that situation, finally said fuck it and went into business myself.

The key is looking beyond the next step.

Where do you want to be in 10 years?

Figuring that out is more difficult, but once you do figure it out you can plan the next step more easily.

@🌲-alist @Lean Starr @john_darksoul At 66 years of age, I've discovered the future does not unfold in such predictable ways long term, sometimes not even short term. I always liked what John Lennon said in one of his songs, "Life is what happens when we're busy making other plans."
@nanook @lonestarr @threalist I don’t take life advice from dudes who get shot in the face. No offense man.
It's not about predicting the future. It's about having a map.
@john_darksoul @🌲-alist @Lean Starr You probably could have ended that sentence with advice. Nobody is immune to death.
