Using My Blog to Pimp My Blog

By NateSean · May 20, 2014 · ·
  1. For the last two months I have been working on my brand new blog: Confessions of a Cart Jockey.

    I have stopped and started many blogs over the years but so far this is the one that I have been most consistent with. There are a couple of reasons for this. I have my own laptop now and Wi-Fi so I don't have to make huge concessions in my schedule to be somewhere at a certain time of the day in order to update and maintain a blog. Two, I have an actual purpose for my blog as opposed to just posting whatever random crap flies into my head.

    At the age of 31 I am a retail cart jockey. Most people are probably decent enough to not worry themselves over the direction my life has taken to lead to this point. After all, there is a woman my age at the same store who is the manager. What choices did she make in her life that were better than mine? Who cares? I have bills to pay now and this is what I'm qualified to do.

    Confessions of a Cart Jockey is my personal exorcism first and foremost. A self guided therapy designed to help me communicate the events in my day to day life and the feelings they may trigger. For the readers, I want them to take a look at ever single carriage gatherer, or garbage collector, or any person working in any position that you might take for granted and actually ask yourself, "Hmm. I wonder if there's more to him or her than their job?"

    Serious question: what does a cart jockey do, generally? I've never heard of the phrase before!

    Basically I gather shopping carts and have other front end related responsibilities. One of my earliest jobs in a grocery store called us cart jockies.

    Looking at your avatar you appear way too intellectual to do that job! As long as you're happy within the job, whatever it is, that's more important than anything. Anyway you seem like a nice guy. I'll keep an eye out for your future blogs :)
