If you are paying $20 for a haircut, I imagine people assume you did it yourself anyway.

and after 3 days, he is risen!

Pocket change cost me my first and only black girlfriend.   It was in the middle of a roaring poker boom and I was flush in ways most men don't even bother dreaming of. Money, it was like dirt to me

I gave away the BMW years ago when I started needing to transport the chillen. Was the Odyssey that got totaled...probably going to get into a newer one of those.

 

If you can hang tight for maybe a year and a half, there is some speculation that they are going to do a four-door M2.

Didn’t do anything Friday night (well, a quick walk/run because it was like 50 degrees and I thought sidewalk ice might be at a minimum (it wasn’t)).

 

Wasn’t doing anything Saturday until some friends brought up a dog park visit so the 5 of us loaded up our 4 dogs in someone’s SUV and took the pups out for an hour or so. Then one of the couples was giving their old fridge to the other couple (and I guess I’ll get that couples old fridge for my basement) so they discussed transporting that afternoon with the nice weather. And then I was like well, another friend of ours wants to give me his nice couch he doesn’t want to replace my shitty couch so maybe we could go grab that, too.

 

So, we did. And in the process I offered to get beer/pizza and host the ISU/ku game. Which then turned into a full on party at my house when other people were brought in who were looking for something to do.

 

Two weeks ago Friday, some friends had an impromptu get together where we played a dice game and ate chicken tacos. That went till like 1. Then the next night we had a friends birthday party which started at their house for pizza and drinks and then we went cosmic bowling which was a ton of fun. They had a promotion where you could win money if you got a strike with a colored pin in the 1 spot. I hit 2 of my 5 chances for $4 of a goal $13 winnable. Somebody in our group won a $50 bill on her one chance while her husband won like $30 over his million chances he had. Stayed out until bar close and then didn’t talk to anybody that next Sunday, worked from home Monday and then stayed home for NYE since all of my friends were at various weddings and I had had enough.

Also, I had started typing that post yesterday morning but didn’t actually submit it for whatever reason. Then when I was flipping through my tabs I saw it was still there so I added some stuff and hit post only to see Strat wondering what I was up to. What serendipity!

 

Jobs going fine I guess but I’m constantly overwhelmed and feel like I’m doing a shitty job and am going to be fired any day now.

 

Aside from my social life, everything else is eh.

I think everyone made new years resolutions to stop coming to this dump.

 

I'm still around, I'm just still on break so I haven't been around regularly. As soon as I'm back to work, I'll be around more to respond to everyone else's content.

Essay being gone a month, and removing all his tweets, and us as follows, is pretty weird.

 

He removed his tweets? Again?

 

That dude is paranoid about something, always

It's super weird, considering that he promised to never leave, and I trusted him.

Something else from last week. Got an offer from another firm for a little more money than I make today. It was an easy ‘no’ due to non-financial aspects but it’s nice to see evidence that leaving my current firm wouldn’t need to mean giving up $30k+.

 

Anyway, from my firm’s perspective, that’s one bullet dodged. Around the same time that I began talking to the firm from last week, I planted seeds with decision makers I know at a few other places who will need help with their upcoming software conversions/M&A.

 

I look back at how little it would have taken from my then-boss to avoid the disrespect shown to me, and it kind of blows my mind. I was fat and happy. All she needed to do was not be an *******, and I would not have started this process.
