A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Edit: tell me this doesn't sound stupid

There is only two types of jobs:

Doing something someone else doesn't want to do

Doing something a specific other person can't do

The only thing I can think of that someone other than myself can't do is piss my wife off to no end. Not really a job, tho.

But really…. Do you, or annyone else, really want to be doing it? If you had the resources not to be and could do anything else like travel, spending time with loved ones, or even just sitting in your own filth, would you choose to do it?

I've done that - frankly I'm not wired for 100% leisure/do what you want. Motivation slips away when there's no meaning behind doing something.
