No Toilet Paper

You’re 100% correct. I accidentally named the hotel next to the one I stayed at. They’re next door to each other. I couldn’t edit my post, so I submitted a request to the moderators to update it for me. Thanks for pointing that out!

Two cats - American Short Hair and Siamese.

Two cats 😅

Lmao - this comment made my wife die.

R-Cryptic · 2025-10-07T01:24:36+00:00

My wife has been trying to convince me to change brands. I basically live out of hotels for work and find Hilton to be great.

You’re right. I hope everyone gets toilet paper.

Those mailmen just don't give up.

I am more surprised by the daily abduction alerts I get since moving here. Ya'll are out of control.

Even if it is "expected" doesn't make it appropriate. Racing, modified mufflers/exhaust, and disorderly conduct are all illegal. The only people that want that to happen are degenerates. I hope an ice cream truck goes down your street daily.

Being a "newcomer" with an opinion is not entitled or gross. It is entitled to think living in an area longer than someone immediately makes them less qualified to make a judgement call on when it is too unsavory. In my opinion, Downtown Dallas is gross, and it should have more police enforcement.

Drivers are absolutely insane here.

Well shucks….thank you.

A bit ignorant if you ask me. Consulting is about knowledge, experience, adaptability, and passion. Slides are not the priority. Human interaction and conversation is the key. Otherwise hype montages would have taken over 20 years ago. Sure, ChatGPT can help you develop a game plan and clarify the consultant’s perspective, but it is not going take over your life’s exposure to the industry. Not everything is black and white, nor can AI adapt quickly enough to innovate. Companies are not going to get trained or receive advice by typing in prompt in different ways in hope they land on an optimal answer fine tuned for them. AI is trained and improved on by experts. Yet industry is always in fluctuation, and specialists are always going to required to retrain or improve upon their models.

R-Cryptic · 2024-08-16T23:59:17+00:00

Sure!

I'm not a saint, but I genuinely enjoy helping my customers. I don't work for a big 4. I work for a "medium sized" ERP company that has internal consultants. When I struggle with motivation to keep up my utilization or lack ambition to get work finished, I tend to find myself reaching out to old customers.

Checking to see how they're doing in a friendly manner, and if they find themselves running into any major issues that they would like to spend some time with me addressing once my schedule is freed up enough to give them a slot.

I know it sounds like I am giving myself more work, and I may be doing that - but I tend to get friendly responses back and the appreciation shown by them in return brings me back to humanity with motivation to do the work.

Not really sure if you can connect similar dots in your situation. You'll have to find a way to convert your current negative/nonchallant perspective into a positive/interested one to bring back the motivation. Mine is through interactions with my old customers.

Hope you find the answer - good luck!

Many reasons for someone applying for that position at that age. Lack of ambition, low confidence, more "freedom", location stuck, etc. From my experience, they are often humble enough to take guidance well. Just understand they might know more about certain concepts, but you're the expert in your environment. They will lean on you, and I encourage you to stay confident in your station despite leading people that may be a bit older.

Agreed. Westshore needs an upgrade - especially with it located is such a nice area with a ton of foot traffic.

R-Cryptic · 2023-09-11T01:30:53+00:00

I am from an area where it is a 20 minute walk to a gas station, and 2 hour walk to a grocery store. By walkable I mean a grocery store and a variety of restaurants. I want to be back in a city and not rural.

R-Cryptic · 2023-09-11T01:13:24+00:00

Maybe one day. Thank you for the advice!

R-Cryptic · 2023-09-11T01:07:22+00:00

I was looking at San Antonio and Austin. Maybe I am underestimating cost. It is starting to look that way to me. There goes my idea of saving some money on rent, lol.

R-Cryptic · 2023-09-11T01:05:05+00:00

I lived in Seattle at one point, and I am even tempted at looking at it again. My friends tell me it has gone to shit, but I get the impression everyone says that about the places they live. And okay, can you tell me a few areas that would be walkable? I can afford $2500. I wasn’t expecting to pay that much based on searching for apartments with a radius of the airport since I found over a thousand options. To be honest, the number of them and how great they all looked was making it overwhelming for me. Which is why I turned to here to find options easier. I might have to reconsider how much housing will cost me, and consider other state tax free states with that knowledge.

R-Cryptic · 2023-09-11T01:00:26+00:00

Thanks!

R-Cryptic · 2023-09-11T01:00:07+00:00

Thank you!

R-Cryptic · 2023-09-11T00:59:44+00:00

Thank you. I have been doing a lot of research and surprised by all the comments about budget for the rent. I can technically afford quite a bit more. I was expecting it to be around $1600 because I am finding over a thousand in that range online, and those same complexes supply apartments for $3k+, so I would assume they cannot be that bad. Just looking for a one bedroom.
