I could be a messenger because....
I could deal with the abuse.... I used to teach school. No one gets abused more than public school teachers.
I could deal with the weather: layers...goretex...and spirit,
I could deal with the low pay.... I wait tables in the buckle of the bible belt. "Hell, i give god 10 percent, why should I give you more? Yarnt more inportant than god..." And my GF makes alot of money, I like being a kept man.
I could deal with the frenetic aspect of the job...waiting tables and teaching school....
I could deal with people trying to kill me... as I said, I taught school
I could deal with being the guy with the tools. When I taught in a small town in GA, I was one of the few people within 30 miles who worked on bikes. Kids would bring their broken Huffys on Fridays and I would spend at least an hour after school working on them
I could deal with attitudes with a smile.... waiting tables and teaching school
I like getting whistled at....girls and ,shrug" guys. I look at gay men like ugly women. Fine to be friends with, just wouldn't want to date any of them. It's nice to be desired by more people.
I could deal with no benefits, I will be on my GF's insurance soon. getting hitched. Hopefully for the only time
I can't deal with working in a cube, not being able to more during work, not being busy but not being allowed to relax, and getting drug tested ( I am completely clean but I feel it's an invasion of privacy, just my anarcho-capitalist mentality. I beleive it was Robert Anton Wilson in the 80's who said " In the future, men and women will no be judged by their content of their character or even their looks, but by their pee. Maybe it "Bob" Dobbs).
