Curious if anyone here has worked for Airport Butler as a concierge at an airport.

I recently came across an opening and the actual work sounds really appealing to me but I can't find much online about what it's like to actually work for them.

Would love to hear from anyone with firsthand experience.

What was/is the job like? How did scheduling and hours work? Was the work fairly consistent? What did you like or dislike about it?

Good, bad, or indifferent, I'd love to hear about your experience. Thanks in advance!

The other day I was at a baseball game and had just eaten. Toward the end of the game a stand was giving away leftover chicken tenders and fries. I walked by and someone basically put a tray in my hands like “Hey, here you go!” I normally love would love that meal (and would love it even more when it's free lol) but because I’d just eaten, the idea of eating them was suddenly repulsive? My body was like absolutely not lol.

It reminded me of when my mom would get excited about some new snack she found at Costo and beg me to try it. I’d take one look and know in about 0.0005 seconds: nope, I’m good...!

The flip side is that when I’m craving a particular food, the pull toward it can be just as strong. My motto is if I'm craving something, there's a reason my body needs it, and I listen to it wholeheartedly.

I’m curious if anyone else experiences food this way? I don’t know if it’s an HSP thing, intuition thing (or both?)...or just a me thing haha.

I've been self employed for a decade and I'm struggling with how to use LinkedIn now that the direction I want my career to go has changed pretty significantly.

I currently own two businesses. One is established and steady. The other is something I've spent the past year trying to build but it hasn't developed the way I'd hoped (and going to give it more time to "preheat in the oven" so to speak).

Earlier this year, I started volunteering at an airport and unexpectedly fell in love with it. Everything about the environment. I never want ti leave. So much so I could see myself building a long term career within the airport ecosystem (and am actively working on that). It's where I'm focusing professionally.

I have started to reach out to people who work at my airport and slowly building that part of my network. Where I'm stuck is what to actually POST about...🤪

Most of my LinkedIn connections understandably come from the businesses I've owned for the past decade. Posting primarily about airports or aviation almost feels strange because that's not why most of those people originally connected with me (and they may even be client's of mine that are seeing said posts).

But continuing to post primarily about entrepreneurship or my businesses feels even stranger because that isn't where I'm trying to take my career anymore.

For anyone who has made a significant career pivot after being established in another industry, how did you handle this?

Did you gradually shift what you posted about?u

Just start posting about the new industry even though your existing audience wasn't there for that?

Stop worrying about having a defined "content strategy" altogether?

Linkedin is so much about the "I do X for Y" or "I help Y do Z" tagline kind of thing, that I feel like lost/stuck. I feel like a random a$$ unicorn 🦄 haha

I have used several delivery apps & services throughout the years & recently started using Walmart+/delivery & coming across something frustrating.

I've placed 5 orders over the last 3-4 weeks & all but 1 of those has missing items.

What bothers me is the app makes it look like everything is fine/everything has been delivered but yet when I actually go through my bags, it's not there.

Is this common? Should I try communicating/chatting with the grocery picker during the process to ensure they actually have everything?

I'm just trying to figure out how best to avoid this issue moving forward (or if it's a common thing & I should go back to a different service altogether)? TIA!

For me, it's gotta be loud cars (I've always lived near busy roadways & actually appreciate the more ambient, white noise but it they are super loud, soo annoying) or screeching (on a train right now where it's screeching so loud I want to repeatedly bang my head against the wall lol).

I have an older friend who has a carpool pass (she lives in Arvada) & needs someone to ride with to actually use the pass/go to the event. She can take up to 3 people. She doesn't use reddit so I told her I'd make this post for her. We volunteer locally together at DEN.

PS - I commented on a similar post in /denver a few days ago, thought we had someone but it fell through, so making my own post now :)

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but it's the first thing that came to mind...

I've noticed something interesting, and honestly kind of sad/disappointing, as I've gotten older (37M). There are people who were once genuinely important parts of my life that now our relationship has basically just...stopped.

There was no blow up. No hard conversation(s). No drama. No BS. They just stopped lol.

This has happened with family, extended family, friends, professional relationships etc etc.

I've seen it before with individual people but lately it feels like a culmination of multiple relationships from completely different areas of my life. And seeing it all at once feels surprisingly heavy.

For example, I run my own business and had vendors/referral partners I talked to multiple times a month for close to 10 years (some I've known even longer than that). Their businesses changed, they didn't need my services anymore, and now we rarely talk. That's understandable.

What's harder to understand is that when we do talk, it's often wildly unfulfilling and surface level. There's almost zero curiosity about me or my life. It makes me wonder if there was ever much substance there to begin with.

I've experienced versions of the same thing with family and friends.

I think part of why this hits me so hard is that I hold a pretty deep sense of loyalty/devotion toward relationships. I don't care what your title is, whether we're blood, whether we met through work, or what originally brought us together. If I've let you into my life and we've created a meaningful relationship, it's because I truly appreciate you. Not because of what you can do for me or because circumstances keep putting us together.

I know I've changed tremendously over the last 10 years but that doesn't make me value them or those relationships any less. They meant something to me.

I think curiosity is the biggest thing I'm missing.

I live a somewhat nontraditional life and think outside the box. I'm not asking everyone to agree with me. I just want to have a discussion about A, B, or C. Ask questions. Tell me why you see something differently. Throw ideas around. Be curious about the person I've become, and I'll be curious about you too.

Instead, I increasingly find myself met with quick answers, surface level conversation, little mutual interest and almost no curiosity. It's completely draining.

Maybe that's why having this happen across multiple areas of my life at once is hitting differently. Maybe I live on Mars a little more than I previously realized lol.

Has anyone else experienced this, or anything similar, as they've gotten older?

I keep getting emails for this big announcement/next phase of Calendly...any idea where this is going?

The funny thing is, I think the product works as intended & don't see any reason to eff it up or add more things we don't need, but the way they are framing it, feels like it's some big overhaul/something completely different?

Something that's increasingly starting to bother me is when people (usually those older than me) seemingly project onto me – telling me what they would do if they were me/my age, as if what I'm doing or saying I want to do is incorrect in their mind. It's like a subtle jab, as if I'm beneath them because I don't think like them...ridiculous.

Being soneone who thinks outside the box, when they do this, it's like nails on a chalkboard. I'm hyper aware to it now & it's annoying as hell lol.

Anyone relate?

I'm a CCFC fan from the US that would like to order one of the new home kits. It seems my only option is to order from your team store online (which I'm happy to do, it's just highly unlikely I'd go through the process to do a return so looking for sizing help before placing an order). My plan was to buy one of the older kits on sale/clearance & one of the new ones.

I reached out to customer service via email for sizing help & never got a reply.

For context: I've never worn a Hummel jersey before. The sleeves look like they run longer than a normal kit? I wear a small in Adidas/Nike/Puma/Joma. Usually replica more so than authentic but I'm cool with either. I have a more lean build & do like a closer or tighter fit (ideally not skin tight though 😅).

Out of those brands mentioned, Joma fits me the best. I love their fit. On the other side, Puma can feel a bit boxy in the shoulders (just has a weird cut for my body type I guess).

Any help would be appreciated! 👏

Hey fellow INFJs. I'm 37 & have started to feel things really deeply (shocker, very INFJ-y of me lol) but it's different than being empathetic or intuitive. I'm not saying those things aren't part of it...but hear me out...

Over the last year or so, when I'm talking to someone (usually more pronounced from a dating/romantic sense) that I don't feel aligned with, I can feel it *deeeeep* in my body. Like a restlessness, an annoyance, a disconnect. A 30m car ride feels like 3 hours.

Whereas when I'm with someone I'm aligned with, it's the exact opposite. My body feels free, feels open, feels pure, the connection feels limitless/exciting/energizing. A 30m car ride goes by in 3 seconds.

I guees what I'm trying to say, is what feels profound lately, are that these feelings aren't just in my head intuitively speaking, it's that I'm starting to feel it as a deep visceral feeling in my body which I can't say was always the case.

I (37m) am convinced that being met (truly met) emotionally/intellectually is the most validating & attractive thing.

I've started to realize just how surface-level, non-committal, casual the world operates in & being met on our wavelength, our frequency, there's a shared understanding between us. There's a willingness to go deeper, fueled by curiosity. I get you & you get me.

And I mean this for friends/family/coworkers/significant others etc. It doesn't really matter the person's role in your life or what you're doing, it's the shared presence between the two people.

I just had to write this out today. I hope someone else can relate. It's so intoxicating when you're able to be truly met, IMO.

It allows me to be my most genuine, truest, authentic self (& I hope does the same for them in return).

My pod is about relationship dynamics/attachment styles (for context: 30 EPs in, weekly, solo, try to shoot for under 10min). I'd love to collab with other podcasters in this space.

Nothing to sell. No BS. Just would love to do a geninue, real talk, cross EP about what we're seeing out in this broken world of dating & relationships right now.

I'm feeling a little unmotivated lately talking to myself lol. Have really tried to push listener feedback/questions/ideas in last 10 EPs & getting crickets in return (I know not totally uncommon).

Edit: if you want to hear my style/see if we vibe, the pod is called Securely You.

I just had an interesting ah-ha that feels very INFJ-ish.

I've always liked to zig when others zag. Do things outside the box. I don't root for the *best* sports teams, I like the lesser known, underdogs. I can't tell you a single top50/100 mainstream song right now. I like more indie, up & comer type stuff.

The list can go on for days but I'll stop there lol. Anyone else relate?

What is the coolest/most unique job you've come across at an airport? I feel like there are so many duties/roles/people at an airport, running things behind the scenes, that as normal passengers we have no idea exist. I'm just curious!

Earlier today something moved through (or was activated inside of) me & I wrote in pure stream of consciousness what you see below. Answering the question to what is real love?

My body got chills as I started writing it and as I was reading it over before posting. If anyone could relate, I knew it would be my fellow INFJs, so I wanted to share.

I hope this can help or comfort someone! No matter what has happened in your life, or your current circumstances, you are worthy. We all deserve this kind of love ❤️

---

The love I believe in is pure.

The love I believe in has no bounds.

The love I believe transcends this earthly existence.

It's a union between two humans that is forever everlasting.

It's a connection between two souls that time & distance cannot break.

It's a space where when one is hurting, the other is there to provide comfort.

It's a place where when one is down on their knees, the other is there at their side.

When you have had a hard day, you're able to melt into their arms & their very presence puts you at ease.

Real love never forgets that first date, that first hug, that first kiss – and every other “first” you've created together.

But not only does it never forget, it's forever cherished.

Each day together is treated like a blank canvas. One you paint with laughter, with joy, and with endless adventure.

It doesn't matter if it's a random Tuesday evening on the couch or your plane just landed at an international destination, you have a smile on your face because you get to do it with your best friend.

Real love is patient. Real love is kind. And real love is truly unconditional.

This day, every day & in all days.

The end 🩵

I've been an solopreneur for the last decade & this question/thought has been on my mind for the last few weeks...

What (& how) has the landscape of entrepreneurship, and in my case moreso solopreneurship, changed?

The reason I ask is I feel like I started my business for no other reason than that it felt aligned to me, felt right in my soul, that it was the vehicle to live the lifestyle I desire.

Is it simply I have always been internally driven?

I can't help but feel so much of what I see today seems like everyone is chasing the next high, the quick buck, the next viral whatever, the materialistic gain, or success framed from a vanity/external standpoint...& I'm left standing here feeling like we're not even playing the same game anymore.
