This is one of my favorite short stories. I’m sure most of you have read it. It’s pretty popular. Glad I found this instance. I’ll be posting a few things that I haven’t seen here. Let me know if I overdo it lol.

      I work in pest control so most of my day is spent outside or driving around in my truck and all I do is listen to audiobooks all day long at work. So I probably go through a book every one and a half to two days so I’m excited for something that sounds so much like the Carl style. I don’t even play games but back when I did. I did mess around with RPGs but I’m actually surprised I’m so into litRPG as I am. I already bought it, gonna listen tomorrow.

        Bitchin! I only really get to listen to/from work and before bed- I’m a software engineer and I cant listen to audio books and code at the same time, it just doesn’t work- but I did recently cross the 400 audible book mark last year, so at least I’m making the effort!

          That’s impressive for limited time. I think I managed to clear 280 books this last year, but that counts both audible and reading because I read the same books I’m listening to while I’m in bed. Most of them are available for free with Kindle. I love the pest control life. It’s a very calm job with lots and lots of personal freedom. Hell I don’t even have to pick up the truck. It stays with me at all times. I wake up in the morning, Open my app, do my jobs and come home when I’m done lol. And it’s a pretty good career. In fact, they’re moving my whole family from Oklahoma to Sacramento, California in a couple of months for me to open new offices. But like I said all I do is listen to audiobooks all day long lol. It’s a pretty good life.

              Yeah I haven’t always been so heavy on the books until I started this job. It passes the time. Thanks, I live in the Midwest so the coast will be a better lifestyle for my family and me for sure. Much thanks.
