Freelance Work

Over the past couple of years there has been an uptick in freelance work.  The go-getter understands there is no need for this work; he was indeed stripped of his titles but was never jailed

How's it going? Please.

When waiting in a line, let's say to scan into the gym (gotta out run those problems, call back!), a pretty standard exchange is asking each other how it's going.

Gym Employee: How's it going?
Gym Patron 1: Good, you?
Gym Employee: Good

First of all guys it's going well.  Second of all, the rest of that is fine.  But the below is not okay:

Gym Employee: How's it going?
Gym Patron 1: Good, you?
Gym Employee: Good

Gym Employee: How's it going?
Gym Patron 2: Good, you?
Gym Employee: Good

Gym Patron 2 what are you doing?  You just heard Gym Employee tell Gym Patron 1 they are doing good...even though they are doing well.  Why not get some new information?  The below is a much better exchange:

Gym Employee: How's it going?
Gym Patron 1: Good, you?
Gym Employee: Good

Gym Employee: How's it going?
Go-Getter: It's going pretty well.  Do you think ketchup is an appropriate condiment for a hot dog?
Gym Employee: Good....wait, what?

The go-getter likes to learn new things about people.  They also know that most gym employees don't have strong feelings regarding hot dog condiments.  Most.

Out Running Problems

You can't out run your problems.  Unless your problems move at less than like 6-7 MPH...then maybe you can.  The go-getter runs regularly just in case they have some problems they can out run.  These are almost always related to slow dogs.

Whine

It's rude to say "would you like some cheese with that whine" unless they have the goods to back it up.  A go-getter won't say this unless they have cheese on them just in case the person would actually like some to go with their whine.

FUN FACT:  The go-getter's annual cheese spend is nearly double that of the general population.  This makes the dairy aisle a great place to recruit!

Heat

Running at noon on a day it's supposed to hit 100 degrees is a mistake, one that probably shouldn't be made a third time.  The go-getter leaves high noon to the Aaron Burr's of the world.

Vision

Let's say somebody, or somebodies, were mimicking your every action behind you.  First of all these somebodies don't sound like some buddies but obviously it's nothing about which to get riled.  In fact the go-getter wouldn't even notice as the go-getter never looks back, only ahead.
