Chatgpt Obsolete Jobs
posted by: The Notorious Apple and Back to work
So I woke up at 3am this morning, and I saw this car and it made me sweat in my bed. I don't want to wake up, because what am I going to do?
So, I looked at my phone, and I had two totally legit jobs waiting for me. It's Monday. The other half is at the Apple Store. It's one of the best stores in the world, with some insane MacBooks on display, and some that are three clicks away. There's a panel where people come in wearing T-shirts like it's an occasion, and there's a sign on the door saying "What Can You Do?", and nobody knows what it means. But I told them if you work here or if you walk through the doors, you have rights.
I was born and raised here, got married here, and I've worked here for years. There's just nothing exciting taking place in my life at all. And if I were a happy guy, I'd be hacking my way to a part time job here. Because I know how to hack. More seriously, everything I do revolves around being reliable and coming to work on time. Well, I'm just going to go home, turn off the light, steal some juice, eat some cereal and try to sleep until ten. That's all going to happen.

My actual job is to babysit for Apple engineers. Which is pretty much what it sounds like. But I'm constantly reminded of a boy I used to babysit called Tim. He worked at Hewlett Packard during college, and many times I couldn't imagine what the life of a "hacker" would be like. But also, when you live in Silicon Valley, you have to know how to program, which ends up working on everything. Tim was the same way, and our babysitting duties together were simple: we'd park our cars and go to McDonald's and pick out some stuff from the rack. Then, before I left for my nights at 5:30p.m., I'd have to wait for Tim to come and finish up, then we'd go to breakfast, and his bus would be there waiting.
