Friend of mine has a felony and can't really get much outside of hospitality or food service, so he's mostly been working for resorts in Miami. His reported income this year will easily be at least triple (likely more) than mine.

Someone went to view the house, didn't want it because all the rooms were too small. It's a 13 foot wide 2 bed terraced house, what were you expecting? Also is nearly 6am, I'm getting ready for work and the loudest thing in the house are the farts coming from the kids room

Cakefool posted:the loudest thing in the house are the farts coming from the kids room I managed to wake myself up today with one of the most satisfying farts I've ever had. It was nearly 10 seconds of pbbbbbbtttttBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP, followed by a very loud "ahhhhh" (and maybe a bit of checking to make sure I didn't poo poo myself). My stomach felt absolutely amazing afterwards, and I'm pretty sure I'll never feel the same thing again. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 06:00 on Oct 10, 2014 |

If you don't want to disappoint your parents you could just drop off the face of the earth like I did, the only mistake I made was letting my grandma tell my dad I was still alive That way he could choke on not knowing if his kid was dead in a ditch somewhere instead of merely choking on knowing your kid doesn't ever want to talk to you again

Over working on really expensive poo poo for nearly a decade. (then really once expensive poo poo). Now I have the insane idea of robotics in my head, because, gently caress it. why not? I need a new spine anyway. and liver. and stomach. and 68.37 meters of intestine. oh. and a left knee.

Liquid Communism posted:Ask me about why I'm 33 years old with two knee surgeries and an aching lower back. Don't do it. Not even once. I'm pretty sure you and I work in the same industry. While not exactly hospitality, it's effectively the same 95% of the time, with the added benefit (in Australia, at least) of having a bullshit amount of screening to get, and ridiculous duties of care. I'm 22, been doing it since I was 18 and am absolutely burned out. I feel 60, although that'a for different reasons.

What a morning... Get in around 8am, poo poo load of emails asking what's broken and why the machine is running slow. Bad part, no problem except the replacements that were supposed to arrive here yesterday arrived in Hannover. Colleague agrees to meet me half way but we have to do it as fast as possible because he has meetings at noon. Haul rear end there, get parts and haul rear end back. Replace part and get system back just in time for next round of performance tests. So for work I had to drive as fast as possible. To bad the rental tops out around 200kph and won't let you set the cruise above 180. Customer wouldn't let me take his RS5  Got back to Berlin and ended up next to an black BMW i8 going through the city. Holy poo poo that is a beautiful car and it sounded pretty good when he opened it up. NitroSpazzz fucked around with this message at 12:14 on Oct 10, 2014 |

All of my cars are broken, everybody has been sick all week, I'm pretty broke after paying for a new fence, and we're all marching ever onwards towards our inevitable death. On the other hand, the Smore's poptart I'm eating for breakfast is pretty rockin'.

This is an advantage I have found to working 2nd shift. I just started it a couple months ago. I don't really get to see my wife during the week which sucks, but I get full advantage of daylight hours.

It's kinda a stupid tag line from the Nerdist podcast I used to listen to, but hell, it's true: "Enjoy your burrito." (aka enjoy the moment and don't get caught up in everything else). Yeah, money troubles, car troubles, family troubles - but gently caress it. I'm going to take my son to his little yoga class and laugh my rear end off because I can (and a bunch of toddlers running around doing mini-yoga and just being toddlers is hysterical and cute). The rest will be here when I get back. Also, more train snaps BK.

My life is really super decent. Horrible stuff doesn't happen too often and I usually find a way to trudge through it. But to add to the depression here I bought a 98 Integra LS for my girlfriend and acted a fool when I went to inspect. Broke all the rules on how to buy a used car and am paying for it now. The point of the story is now the car is running ok, new tires have been purchased but the alignment is so bad I'm really worried something is damaged beyond a reasonable amount of repair and we are approaching our limit on how much more to put into this car. Tell me it will be ok AI

Yeah the last page or so is pretty depressing. My job is awesome, coworkers are awesome, and pay is good but trending towards awesome. I'm on track to be able to buy a nice house in about 8 months (with 20% down). Sooner if the state decides to do its first time home buyer thing again. Also, no significant other or children so my life is pretty stress free and most of my income is disposable.

It feels a little rushed, like it's always pushing on to the next bit, and some parts feel more like someone said "let's write a Pink Floyd style song" if that makes sense.

Talk about an easy day at work. Go in for an hour and a half, take chlorine samples, get readings off the wells, and now i'm home for the day eating lovely fast food and listening to the rain. Sometimes, life is good.
