When you've been looking at convenience store kimbap for about 15 years, you end up knowing all sorts of things.

I know pretty well what's trending lately, what the competitors have put out, and what's selling well. Do I follow trends at my age? No, it's work. Even I just eat what I always eat once I clock out. ㅤ

I live alone. I have a house, I have a mortgage, and not long ago, I bought an 85-inch TV that doesn't even fit the size of my living room. I regretted it a bit when I saw the credit card bill. Not that I regretted buying the TV, I just regretted the bill. ㅤ

I go to the rival convenience store in front of my house. Our company's store takes 8 minutes to get to, and that one takes 1 minute, so what can I do? Loyalty to the company and laziness are two separate issues. ㅤ

I like meeting people. It's even better if we communicate well. But once you reach this age, there aren't many opportunities to meet new people unless they're from work. Not that I'm lonely, though. I eat well, play well, and live well on my own. ㅤ

If I had to pick one problem, it's that I occasionally forget I'm forty.

Well, other people make sure to remind me.
