ANSWER THIS? (you're lost in the COSMO's).

 

I can be social, but it's very rare that I bump into someone that I relate to. Strangely, in my crappy yard spotter job, I wind up ############ with another person that works here all the time about stuff like Sci-Fi, Horror, Cult-Film, or different authors. They also have a lot of alternative religious views I enjoy discussing. It might be that we both have incomplete College education?

Again this is rare though so I generally keep to myself. I would like to try moving to a larger Metro area though and maybe it would be easier to meet people I relate to or have similar interests.

One time I went job hunting with my 2 year degree and met cool people at a Maker Space or Hacker Space. This is basically a open workshop building where people hang out just to be creative and learn on their own. I thought this was so cool and enjoyed talking to these people. Sadly my efforts to get a Tech job failed and I wound up coming back to sit in a truck cab.

I was not particularly social as an OTR driver and I didn't set at the Driver's counter in the Truck Stop restaurants. I always have this weird feeling I'm the wrong industry and missing my 'calling' by a lot, but I gotta pay bills and my debts so I'm stuck for now.

 

That's what YOU would want to do but YOU cannot. I have no desire. The NFL is for sissies. To get into the movies, you have to do the casting couch. Being someone's bit@h voids the ManCard. Rock stars need drugs to be creative. That's mental slavery.

"Movie STARS, Rock STARS, Pro Sports STARS"...you dream of having the adoration and being recognized. Fascinating.

 

This reply is a bit late. I got distracted and forgot about making it. When I got the alert of the Thanks I was reminded of it. Actually I wrote alone time because I do draw a difference between my time and my alone time. There are situations where I am on my time but not alone. I said in another thread that I get health and welfare calls and from time to time visits. I have learned to just accept them. I think this is why I am so defensive of my time alone. Unfortunately when you have health issues like I do it causes a conflict between the two. It is my hope that none of you ever develop epilepsy. One good part though. I can take trips and never leave my home! Oh and @TripleSix I agree with your comment though.

 

Yes, something gets lost when people lose the ability to be civil. I consider myself a Conservative, I have good friends that are Liberals. One even calls himself a Socialist. I also have many friends that are black and most of them have been friends for years. You know how we all get along? We understand these differences and have come to see we all have more in common then different and just don't discuss our differences. I don't watch TV much. One thing that really bothers me is we humans seem to be trying to do both being alone and being with others at the same time. Right now I am alone but writing in a public forum. It's not alright to call people names. It is not alright to tell someone to go have sex with themselves. Where in the name of Pete did this crap come from?

 

Oh...then i got it all wrong.

Do tell,...maybe i'm in the right spot after all.

 

Was just in the office talking to my driver manager. I sometimes ponder whether I could thrive in an office environment like that and unfortunately my experience has shown that I can't do it.

I suck at multi-tasking and constant background chatter with other people talking or on the phone messes with my concentration. I think what suits me is to have a specific job delegated to me and I go off to get it done.

I wish I could be doing something more technical like a field repairman or Cell Tower Technician.

As for being social, I really would prefer a situation where I meet people through hobbies and not work.

 

Now, THAT'S different. People you work with will be more inclined to stab you in the back than a roomful of muggers. You are among enemies. Surrounded by them. Name, rank and serial number only. I keep personal info completely classified. I dont attend any employee parties. Keep your business YOUR business.

On the other hand, I ride. If you ride and I ride, we can be friends and I will buy the first round at the watering hole (I have a 2 drink limit on the horse tho). If you can ride responsibly, and drink responsibly and avoid ever being lewd to a woman that's not yours, I will give you the respect of a Man and will trust you completely.

 

I also think many people I've seen in warehouses can be immature or in a few cases, inclined to 'horseplay' if they're bored. Being involved with people like that can lead to something really stupid happening.

The messed up thing is many such people are not explicitly anybody's enemy, but want to pull others into their vortex of stupid behavior.
