  • Kinda sounds like you were running way too hard.

    Many people assume you need to run your ass off every time you go. Its just not true.

    My shortest runs are quick, but I'm just cruisin' for any long runs; slow enough to comfortably talk with someone and run for a few hours without stopping.

    If you're running and you hate it you need to slow way down.

  • You can do this in relative safety on a racetrack though. Doing this anywhere else is risking turning yourself and others into hamburger meat.

  • What's your personal little conspiracy theory?

  • That Target's entry into the Canadian market was designed to fail from the start so that Walmart could swoop in, take over the entire logistics chain and ensure people get to keep their jobs to quell the concerns about Walmart becoming a monopoly in Canada.

    Target failed so spectacularly that from my perspective on the inside it had to be by design. When the stores first ooened there was no stock available because we were shipping goods on trailers with no skids, packed floor to ceiling at random then expecting some poor souls in the back rooms of Target stores everywhere (likely with no previous logistics experience) to unload, organize the product into categories on skids and then take them out to the aisles to be put on shelves. We should have been building skids in the warehouses for months until demand settled and could be fulfilled by maximizing trailer efficiency with floor to ceiling loads.

    There were an unbelievable amount of blatant inefficiencies and Inventory Control was deliberately understaffed so we ended up with a warehouse with thousands of open rack slots but the system thought the warehouse was full. Multiple layers of this kind of shit were going on and every time we voiced concern about it, management told us to just keep our heads down.

    I swear some execs with nice golden parachutes conspired to ensure Target failed so Walmart could swoop in and save the day, breaking through the public concern about monopolization.

  • Honestly, I feel like many problems with the modern workplace stem from executives' insulation from the workforce.

  • The ADHD.

    Hyperfocus makes me ramble. I've also dedicated an enormous amount of time to an abundance of different "talents" and skills.

    It can make people around me feel like "normies", which is not a self-compliment but an admission of social unawareness.

    I've made a concerted effort over the last decade to remind myself to listen intently when people are talking and be aware of my potential to monopolize a conversation. I feel like it's helped a lot. Connecting with people is important to my mental health. Its always been difficult but its getting easier as I grow older and pay attention to these things.
