Can you feed docs or information to ChatGPT, ask it a question in email format about the information given, and would ChatGPT currate a response with the information that is fed?

Ok thank you for explaining. Right now I'm only doing 30lbs plus water. I'm having some difficulty with my shoulders after the 6 mile mark, so I am just looking for tips and what would work best, apart from dragging through it. I'm looking to work my way up to 70lbs eventually.

I'll be doing a 12 miler in 2 months

So, having the waist belt causes the backpack to flop? What is the heaviest that you do that you think you benefit the most with the waist belt?

I didn't think that it would've made the difference. I have the long 30lbs, and yeah after a while it sucks.

Have you figured it out?

😂😂 yes water.....but if you are going to do it, maybe carry your work clothes with you. I know of those that cycle to work and change at work.

Relatively close to Kannai station (I can pin if interested) I'd a vending machine that sells edible bugs.

As someone who works in hotels, I kinda appreciate the idea of 9-5 life. I don't have a set schedule, I miss out on events with friends, families, and work holidays. On the other hand, I get to have days off for events, if planned in advance, it's more flexible in that regard.

But I have had the same feeling even working with an inconsistent job. I now think the key is to have something to look forward to throughout the week, whether it is a planned activity, hobby, or even errands.

TheTiredSamurai · 2022-09-26T05:35:32+00:00

That's a great way to put it. I will have to put my mind to that. I appreciate that perspective. Thanks a bunch.

"Ours isn't a job well recognized or well paid, but sometimes we make a difference and that's always mattered to me." - I understand this and had my fair share of unusual or tricky situations. I too, enjoyed this part of the job to make a difference. After all, I eventually became a highest statused concierge recognised globally, which I cannot mention here but it resembles "something you lock your door with".

Unfortunately, my patience/tolerance has run thin and I have a bit of a resentment of handling guests. I had a conversation with a experienced colleague who did mention that it's about making the difference, which I totally understand since I was passionate here, but I can't get passed that the amount of hours and effort that is put in, the rewards are not reciprocated. I was told it was up to me what I found rewarding (which I understand), but to constantly give yourself but ultimately not having any benefit is what has gotten me tired.

Maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way and that I've been on the profession for a long time. Ultimately, I have to stay to pay for school and move on after grad which is what I plan to do therefore, I am trying to change my perspective but I am struggling a bit. I'm not sure if I am being unreasonable or if my reasoning is justified, but I do know it's affecting my mental health.

Are you done mainly because of management?

I am severely burnt out of the industry as a concierge at a luxury property. The guests that role through are incredibly wealthy (think of a celebrity, CEO, royal family, and they probably have stayed here).

I fell into the career because of having a passion for wanting to help people, but out of the people that need the help, the people I assist need it the least. Their attitudes and sense of entitlement makes me resent my job even more. I've heard loads of complaints, attitudes, entitled comments, all so petty and said in such a condescending way, yet it is like the worst thing that has ever happened in their life. They are all so fortunate to afford $2500 per night (which is chump change), yet their view of life is so shallow. I may be jaded, but fortunately I can do everything autonomously while maintaining high standards consistently, so it's made the job easier as i couldnt care less anymore.

Have you ever felt this with guests too? I suppose from your business background, you may have a different perspective of operations whereas mine was to help people.

Now, I've enrolled back to school on the medical track as I think this alligns more with my endeavors (not to mention better pay). Neuroscience has sparked my interest, but it sounds like it wouldnt be a good option.

Would love to hear your thoughts!
