I’m looking forward to the commercial real estate market’s bottom falling out and a shitload of towers being converted to residential living space in awesome areas of cities everywhere

afaik in Detroit you pay your commercial utilities on your own since landlords don’t like buildings set above 65f when it’s below 0 outside

I've probably mentioned this before but watch The Queen of Versailles, it's about some new money guy who marries a woman half his age and has a new family in his sixties, dude's a billionaire and the first thing he does after he wakes up is go to a little room in his basement and lock himself in so his family can't bother him. big lols

i don't want to work today. what i actually want to do is clean my windows and my bathroom and get rid of my "to donate" pile. not sure if donations are being accepted so if not i'll go stash them in my in-law's basement until next year.

I’ve enjoyed eating all meals with the kids and wife and generally seeing them a bunch more. still I’d love it if I could on-demand be alone for when I really need to get something done. I’m definitely a fan of ~*deep work*~ and crushing something for a few hours is still more productive than a normal day of interruptions and chasing email, whether in the office or not. lol that our cfo straight up told me he was way more productive and finished his work in half a day. good on him for having the huevos to just come out and say it

you don't have kids because it makes you happy or enhances your life in the short term; you make kids to satisfy biological imperative although yeah some people just do it b/c of status even though they don't really want kids and that's really loving sad for everyone involved

I worked second shift for years and since I couldn't wake up early and do 3-11PM I would get up at noon or 1PM and it really sucked poo poo, felt like the entire world was going by without me being involved.
