Luxurious bachelorism sounds glorious. At least 4 more years of school here  The worst part is that it keeps raining so I can't bbq

This didn't come easy. Kids are hosed these days when it comes to actually using their degree in a good job after graduation. My advice, don't pick a bullshit major. Go straight for health care or teaching or something like that. I'm really excited about shopping for a couch. Like a real, actual adult

Broke out the files immediately. Then again, it's a serving spoon, so I don't eat with it. JEEVES420 posted:The kind that finds the solution with least amount of work...lazy kind I guess. Cassoulet. It required spooning out 1/2 kilo of cannellini beans from a big pot of stock they'd been cooking in for an hour or so. Not fun with a fork, hence bachelor DIY madness.

Wasabi the J posted:Don't cheap out or you'll end up spending more replacing a lovely couch. Oh god yes. A couch is the sort of purchase that can really gently caress you if you're not really careful. You go into a store and see one that looks nice and sit in it for a few seconds or maybe even a couple of minutes. Everything seems okay so you buy it and bring it home. Only to realise that the armrests have harsh corners that dig into your side if you lean on them. Or the front has a wooden panel inside it to keep the fabric neat and it digs into the back of your legs if you sit in the one spot for too long. Or your bum sinks too much. Or the base is so wide that, even sitting with your legs right up against the couch, there's a space between the small of your back and the back of the couch and, after a while, your back aches.

Also lay down on it for a while. Everyone likes to lay/sleep on the couch so that is important. Make that couch in the store yours for a good hour.

This is my exact feeling today! I was accepted for a paid internship that actually uses the skills I've been going to school for. No more starved student meals! I can go to movies in the theater! I can buy beer without paying in quarters! Buy something that's NOT a textbook from Amazon! ... I felt so rich that I celebrated by spending four dollars in quarters at garage sales this morning. Living large!

One of my favorite drunken meals to make is tuna mac, which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like... macaroni and cheese + tuna. One can of tuna per box of mac and cheese, three cups of frozen veggies per box if you're feeling adventurous (a few nights ago i threw in frozen peas, broccoli, & garlic salt), aaand I will admit that i've subbed mayo for butter or milk when I've been out of one (somehow it's usually just one) Also, add some shredded cheese at the very end, and hot sauce according to taste macky2dope has a new favorite as of 08:18 on Jun 1, 2014 |

It makes your mac and cheese tangy and delicious.

Bulb blew out on my big rear end DLP tv. Ordered a new one from amazon that should be here tuesday. Bought. Tiny rear end tv at walmart to use for the weekend that I will return after the bulb comes in. Not sure if bachelor, white trash, or both.

I make cheese sauce for pasta with milk and cornflour all the time. Its easy as gently caress and is the go-to hangover food. I do it with tuna too and an onion. Peas might be nice.

Bachelor chow: box of Kraft, indeterminate glop of Country Crock, powdered cheez packet, half cup of red pasta sauce. Who has time for milk? Also, once, while I was renting an apartment in Phoenix, my toilet clogged. I didn't own a plunger, so I just stopped flushing it. 4 months later, I left. Feel kinda bad for the maintenance guy who walked in after I left.

Wasabi the J posted:Don't cheap out HR from my soon-to-be place of employment called me today. Unfortunately my pay is significantly lower than what I was expecting. I'll have to continue living like a poor person for a while longer. I'm still buying a loving couch though. There's one at Overstock that I've decided I want. It's kinda small but that's fine. I don't need anything bigger. My parents bought me an exercise bike I'd been wanting as a graduation present. I live in a townhouse, and I've got too much poo poo jockeying for space in my living room. I have a month to use a 15% coupon which would make it right around $400. If I can't buy it in the next month, I'll still have a 10% coupon I can use. I honestly don't spend much time on any couch I'd have. I nap occasionally but that's pretty much it. I watch movies sitting in a computer chair. But the couch has two reviews and they were both very positive, so eh.

It's actually a private psych hospital owned by a huge corporation. Everyone I've talked to is shocked that the starting RN pay is so low. They really wanted me to accept the offer so they offered me an extra dollar because I have my BSN. But drat. It's low.
