A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Edit: tell me this doesn't sound stupid

There is only two types of jobs:

Doing something someone else doesn't want to do

Or

Doing something a specific other person can't do

The only thing I can think of that someone other than myself can't do is piss my wife off to no end. Not really a job, tho.

My workplace has heaps of cool jobs. No one person can do them all. So we have more people, doing cool jobs. The world is not all doom and gloom.

I'm OK with that, but at the same time I'd like to know what the cool jobs were.

Beer-cooler maintenance.

I could work on veer-coolers, I guess. Do I want to do it 40 hrs a wk, until the day I die? No. Do I want to do anything 40 hours a week till the day I die? Not really.

But really…. Do you, or annyone else, really want to be doing it? If you had the resources not to be and could do anything else like travel, spending time with loved ones, or even just sitting in your own filth, would you choose to do it?

I've done that - frankly I'm not wired for 100% leisure/do what you want. Motivation slips away when there's no meaning behind doing something.

He is still drunk on that koolaid, it takes sometime to figure it out.
