The Rhetoric Rick Show

A few things going on this episode. Taking in your auto for routine maintenance and finding out there's more than meets the eye. Job hunting is a job in itself. Coming back to the office after a few days/weeks of vacation can be a struggle.

You ever notice how everything is always urgent? Is it really? Most likely not. That and how workplace cliques still exist.

A few updates about me and my job search. Also, the perils of getting older.

Have you ever been to the point where you're on the fence about your job and then they promote someone you thought would probably not get promoted ever? How about a rematch of the 2020 Election? This and the positive things I've been doing for myself lately.

Have you ever had a perception about a coworker and you come to find out that you were wrong? That happened to me recently, very humbling. I talk about this and a few updates in this episode.

Morning commuters: your lane is stopped and once you merge to the next lane to pass the gridlock you come to find out it's someone trying to get into the Starbucks parking lot - frustrating. My side rant about large pick up truck drivers and updates.

I have 3 interesting stories that have happened to me from the last episode I recorded. Also, some updates I would like to share with you.

Being a dumpling fiend, I am partaking in the dumpling week here in Portland. Find out my frustration with it and why I am hating Spotify podcasting more now.

Ever seen when people get too chatty with the waitstaff? How about when a random person gets chatty with you?

This is good episode, I think. I go over my thoughts about my work kitchen and how it gets cleaned up (hint: it doesn't). Also, my first (and probably last) time watching someone live on TikTok.
