Patrick Says

Credit goes to Patrice from the Keith & The Girl podcast for this article. Fast Company Magazine published an opinion piece about six jobs they believe won’t exist in the year 2016. Here’s their list:

• Gatekeepers - don’t care what this job is.
• Bloggers - apparently, we don’t have the drive to stick around ten more years. This one is a little hard to believe, even if the future bloggers aren’t us.
• Advertising creatives - again, don’t care.
• Auto mechanics - come on, really. How stupid are these guys that they think we won’t have car mechanics in 2016? Will we be in flying cars too?
• U.S. High-tech jobs - great. I’m sitting here getting my degree in IT. Neat.
• Indian call-center operations - HIP HIP HOORAY. HIP HIP HOORAY. That can’t happen soon enough.

I’m at the Bread Company here in Brentwood and I have three observations:

1. Why is it that everytime I come here, some a-hole sitting BY HIMSELF is at the six-person table. I know it’s a free country and all that, but people HAVE MEETINGS at the Bread Company, so GO FIND a one-seater table, Richard!
2. What is up with people and the Bluetooth cell phones? You know the people I’m talking about. They have this huge piece of metal hanging off one ear. Do you have any idea what a tool you look like? You look like a freakin’ Borg (see picture).
3. There is a woman halfway across the Bread Company from me and I CAN HEAR EVERY SINGLE WORD she says. TALK QUIETER! You’re in a public place! I don’t care about your lack of fiber in your diet. Eat a bagel and SHUT UP!
