I would still use my Zune if the smart phone didn't erase all that technology from the planet. It had the nicest vibrant screen out of any of them at the time imo. I had a diamond Rio, an rca Lyra 2, a Dell DJ, an iPod video, and the Zune. Zune was the best.

Can you get me one too? I had an interview today with an HVAC company and I think I got the job but remote sounds better.

My bosses from job 2 knew. Job 1, there's really unclear communication and the CEO started asking scary questions about what it is I do all day to my direct boss but now Walmart is requiring a bunch of departments to start tagging everything with RFID stickers and no one else can quite wrap their heads around the process so my job should be safe until February at least.

None of these pay that well but if I'm able to bill 100 hrs a week then yeah I'll be able to do some catching up and stop being broke at 37. :cool:

I might be like 15 years behind schedule on my retirement fund but I'd rather spend my 30-60s actually enjoying life and just live off the state the last few of them

That's why I chose the "work remote but barely do anything and enjoy family and pets" instead

Work to live, don't live to work, etc. Rooting for you bro

How much do I cum? The answer might surprise you!

late to the conversation but i worked 4 days a week for at least half a decade and i dont regret it

yeah you make less money, but you have a long weekend every weekend

ive been working 5 days now for the past 2 years in order to get a promotion and such, but im really gonna try to get back to 4 days again

its the best

edit:

also no offense to remote workers but almost all of my job is customer facing literally with real people and i have to deal with departments that definitely have been work from home for the past 3 years and some people are totally useless. luckily the bank has a pretty good hierarchy so i just "miss teams" their manager and cc my branch manager in on it to get what i want when i find a work from home slacker.

I don't know, I like my lovely budget phone. The only thing about it that actively bums me out is that it will freeze if I try to take videos at concerts. Otherwise, no complaints, especially considering the price.

Why are you at a concert loving with your phone and not high as balls next to a speaker singing at the top of your lungs?

Because being high as balls is for playing word games and watching YouTube blooper reels & American Dad at home

It's nice to have video of a good set that you can look at and remember later. My wife always films stuff so I can just bop along but she never gets a full song, it's always like a minute or two but she always manages to get decent footage.
