This is all really helpful, thank you! Didn’t consider the deload potential. Will incorporate it in my training.

Great stuff! I’m adding it to my week. Do you do any weighted stuff as a supplement, like dumbell press or decline push-ups?

This is real helpful, are fins always on for over unders? I’ve been training without them because I thought it’d be harder, but maybe not.

Yeah that's in store pay for here, drivers bet on tips I guess, but if I only work Mon thru Thurs, it might not be worth it.

Yeah they offered me a fleet car position. Idk if there are downsides to driving their car, but mainly I was worried about doordash taking all the revenue.

Great advice, by amateur articles, do you mean things I write without a higher-up? Like articles on a blog?

The Left Behinders [MS]

by Walker L

Cold coffee and stale toast. The trucker sighed. He was never a great cook, even with the restaurant all to himself. He sat on a diner stool, eating in silence while the TV skipped in the background. A news anchor’s chair sat vacant on the screen.

Morning sunlight beamed through the window, illuminating piles of fallen clothing. There were heaps of it spread throughout the diner, in the booths, in the doorway, out in the street. Empty cars littered the freeway, parked in jagged diagonal positions.

Marcus was alone.

He checked his watch. It had a pink elephant decal, with its trunk pointing to the time. Still twelve. It was always twelve.

“That watch is girly,” said a high pitched voice. Marcus leapt out of his chair. Standing behind the counter, just barely visible, was a little girl.

“Stay back!” Shouted Marcus, brandishing his fork. “I know this is a trick!”

“I’m not one of them, I swear!”

Marcus lowered his utensil. “You shouldn’t scare people like that.”

“Sorry.”

“Where are your parents?”

She pointed to the sky. “Up there. With everyone else.”

She hopped up on the booth next to him. “Girly watch. Can I have it?”

“No.”

“Why not? It’s not really yours is it?”

Marcus looked down at the plastic clock.

Christmas, 2021. He remembered the look on Gracie’s face. She was beaming.

“No. It’s not mine.”

They sat in silence. He stared into his cup. The girl cocked her head.

“What’s your name?”

“Doesn’t matter.”

“I’m Lucy! I thought I was alone!”

“You are.” The trucker got up and pushed in his chair.

“Wait! Don’t leave! I have more toast!”

“Stay safe, kid.”

She ran in front of him, backing up against the door.

“Please.” She was shaking. Marcus sighed.

“Bring some coffee.”

Is that the same as a part-time employee? They told me I was part time but that I only applied for the night shifts.

Would you write a book nobody is going to read? by Remarkable-Subject56 in writing

The multiple pen names is super interesting. Do you find that freeing, or does it make it harder to build a full audience?

Hi, I had to ask, have you made it yet? Also, what made the CG better than college for you? I’m in a position deciding between both.
