It's me, I'm Dick

I'm 42. I started going by Dick freshman year of highschool. Half by choice, half because I was in a new school in a small town and the kids thought it was funny. I went with it in a classic case of "if you can't beat em join em". But honestly, it just kinda fits.

I also gotta be one of the last people hired to operate a manual high speed elevator in an office building. Pretty sure showing up the interview with a name decades out of fashion helped me land the gig. Still doing it...kinda. I've been running the guest express elevator at the first skyscraper built on the west coast since TDZ started, this is my tenth year.

Conservatives who leave progressive states just to move to Florida are some of the most unhinged people I've ever met.

Don't know where else to post this observation, hopefully it's alright here.

Currently in a 40hr long training course for my work. It's day 1 and the instructor has already mentioned how crazy California is compared to his newfound freedom in Florida. He bought himself his gun and his swamp land, and continues to make small passive aggressive jabs at Cali and I'm like... My guy, who did this to you?

The best part though was while talking about health/safety/cleanliness regulations (I work in commercial plumbing) he went on a side rant about how *almost all* regulations the government makes up are useless... Except for the ones that are important for our field.

Ok, so deregulation is great, but not for this very specific instance? In fact, why regulate anything? Lol.

This isn't really a one off interaction either. Some of the most fervent Maga types I've met down here come from NY, OR, CA... Florida is a promised land for the worst types of people from these places I guess.

How these people don't choke on their animal crackers more often is astounding to me.

They were giving away a truly random array of stickers in the office today but there was only one option

Well, I guess two but if I only picked one it would be the sexiest man alive.
