Pompous Rhombus posted:Doing 20 years in the military Ahaha, gently caress that. I'm out this Friday after 6 years. You can certainly be GWM in the lower ranks but most of my coworkers are flat broke from terrible life choices or spending literally every dollar they have every paycheck on stupid poo poo. My favorite one was the guy who hosed himself over on cars. Shows up with a Hyundai Accent hatchback. Wanted a better car to pick up chicks with so he trades it in for a red mustang. Gets caught speeding and pays a fine, whatever. Goes to the dealership again for some reason and sees another mustang, but this one was a GT. Calls his insurance and asks them how much he'd be paying on insurance and they tell him it would be cheaper to take the V8. Trades in the V6 at a loss and gets the V8. This lasts about three weeks before he gets a call from his insurance letting him know that his rates are going up because he's driving a faster car and already has a speeding ticket. He trades that one in for another huge loss and gets a Sentra or something. Gets deployed and comes back then goes car shopping again. We think maybe he'll be sensible this time, instead he buys an F350 with 100000 miles already on the engine. That lasts a couple months before he sells it and gets a Dodge Dart. We think he was still paying off the mustangs when he left for Korea.

Mojo Threepwood posted:Yeah, one of my friends used to work at an all season resort in Donnelly, Idaho, and I can't imagine what work a cubicle dweller in their early 30s could find in that small town to enable them to enjoy the resort whenever they pleased. My friend was working there in the summer building trails while finishing an accounting degree, and his accounts of illiterate coworkers and getting his foot crushed by a boulder make it seem like a young man's game. We did a ski/snowboard trip every year to Tamarack and the half finished resort never so much as moved the entire time I lived in Idaho. Just a giant concrete abomination next to the small part that was finished.
