196 - Don't Be a Lonnie



  • Welcome to... Fridays on the Fly
  • The nature of video streaming
  • Project #WhatTheDeck2019 in full swing.
  • Don't be a Lonnie is my new catchphrase in place of don't be a dummy.
  • I met Lonnie to sell S10 fender flares. The ad in the title said S10, Chevrolet, GMC, the description again restated that.
  • I pulled in and it was a couple of minutes before he got out. I assumed he was counting his money, no, he was messaging me to tell me he was there even though I got out of my vehicle as soon as he pulled up, which he knew the color, and decided to message me.
  • DON'T BE A LONNIE!
  • So the story gets stranger. The guy I was supposed to meet messages me and asks why I didn't show. Two things, Lonnie was driving a blue Toyota as the guy I was supposed to meet said he was and Lonnie pulled up right beside me. That would explain why Lonnie didn't want the flares.
  • The guy I was supposed to meet is adamant that wasn't him. What are the odds? I figure he's thinking I'm making up a story for not showing, but I've got details. While the guy says he was there at 6pm, I didn't see him. How he didn't see me, I don't know.
  • Eric sold the Colorado to a man living in a Ford Escape.
  • Go karts are fun!

195 - Job vs Career vs Ambition vs Complacency



  • Career vs job.
  • Even the job hunt out of school, I wish i had known more, gotten started earlier. 
  • I've considered self starting. 
  • I've hit the ceiling at my job. Moving up would mean a lot more time at work without what I consider fair compensation. I'd get more money but less per hour.
  • Cheating- long term it's a losing situation. I've been selling stuff and i ensure my ads are accurate and describe any problems.
  • i suppose i consider cheating generally in regards to tests or homework. 
  • is there really a lot of opportunity to cheat? i suppose there is theft. i work at an office. i've never taken office supplies. the rare times i print something for personal use, i pay for it. the people in admin were baffled when i asked about that.
  • i cheated in high school on the psats, i had already taken the sat and it was a pointless test. i cheated by working on whatever section i wanted.
  • in college i was temped to cheat, even wanted to, but didn't. it was a test for which i was ill prepared.
  • my school had an honor system, i actually got to be a juror for that. i can't recall if that's the correct term. a student cheated, admitted it. and at the time neither she nor the professor attended or were employed by teh school. she admitted she did and i guess she was expelled, but she wasn't attending. maybe it was she coudln't return.
  • i downloaded a lot of movies in the early O's. i do regret that. but it's also a strange juxtaposition because you can find movie to stream for free now, legally .it's prevalent. i could make an excuse that i was ahead of my time, but there's no excuse.
