Exactly, less stress and more problem solving. That's my kinda gig.

It takes a special kind of person, imo, to enjoy sales. Props to you my friend.

Yes that's true! I've worked with sales people and it is super intense, especially because so much pressure is on them to reach exceedingly high target. I think it takes a certain type of person to handle it. I know I couldn't. IBS is triggered by stress.

Years ago I used to work with a guy here, he was born in the UK but of Thai origin. He told me his aim was to one day move to Thailand to work as a pimp and own a high class establishment (he was deadly serious about it) I lost contact with him, but maybe one day, if I track him down I'll see if he ever got his dream underway.

Thailand is probably the biggest sexual services provider in the world

i read somewhere 1 in 20 women are hookers

it isn't that hard for him to make headway, but there's lot of competition

i went for a sex trip there, but it was foiled by a bad stomach and generally unclean food and water

He mentioned some of these facts as well.

Aren't hygiene standards poor in Malaysia as well? I only thought of Singapore as being good in that part of the world.

comparably better here than Indonesia, Indochina or the Phillipines

tap water here is bad, though, you do need to boil it

Singapore is way better than any other country here just because of its size and higher revenue (it's a trade point)

Brunei as well (oil)

^that is absolutely perfect.....exactly the impression i get from you here!

at this point and time in my life i am a truck driver.....what they call a line haul driver....basically i pick up an empty 53 foot trailer in Reno drive it to Woodland CA (about 20 miles north of Sacramento) drop it and pick up a loaded trailer to bring back for the kid who does the route.....the product is for Ross stores....i started this job last night!....its a pretty good gig....i basically work from 7pm to about 230am and it pays well enough with full company paid medical (which i need

) and i fell i basically get paid to listen to music for 8 hours....which obviously is a bonus for me

edit: i'm pretty sure i am the only truck driver in the world with a Current 93 tattoo and who wears a DEVO energy dome while driving

Wow, stomping through my neck of the woods. I lived in Dixon and Davis the last couple years.

I might need to look into this line of work. How does one break into this kind of work? What kind of licenses/experience needed? etc...

Also, if I do ever see a Devo-hat wearing truck driver, I'll know it's you...
