A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Edit: tell me this doesn't sound stupid

There is only two types of jobs:

Doing something someone else doesn't want to do

Doing something a specific other person can't do

The only thing I can think of that someone other than myself can't do is piss my wife off to no end. Not really a job, tho.

If you're not spending your employment trying to do what you want to do vs what your boss wants you to do... What are you even doing with your life!?

There is a big lesson in there folks...

Obviously, there a lot of limits on it but that's the right idea. The higher you go, the more freedom you can get.

But at the end of the day, it is the same shiti regime.
