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 did pretty much the same thing (minus a divorce) in freshman year of college with a relationship that was clearly over. It was obvious and pathetic, but it got the job done.

She told me 6+ months ago that her husband was jealous. We went to Vegas for a conference... me, her, and her boss, a month or two ago, which almost certainly aggravated things. It just isn’t a match on personality. Even if I was single, I don’t think I’d do it. She’s just trying to piss him off.

Anyway, I told her I was sorry to hear it but that I had confidence she would kill it as a free agent. She said “I’d give you a bro hug right now if I could.” It’s gonna be awkward when she sobers up and we have to collaborate on numbers again next month.

I outsource my yardwork and pool maintenance, because I don't want other chores filling my week. However, I painted a room a year or two ago, because I felt I could do a good job, get some experience, save some money, and just generally feel good about accomplishing a project.

when i own a home i look forward to attempting to fix things myself, screwing it up, then paying someone to fix it correctly.

 

Pretending your time isn't more valuable than people who work with their hands is a rite of passage for the American male of means (AMoM). I bought a lift in order to start pretending to work on a project car. It took me months to get around to defogging the headlamps, and I eventually just paid someone to do it instead. Now I'm looking at cartoon pornography of women who have a bunch of legs like spiders.

Yes. This is the content I crave.

 

 

Went to a friends house warming party last night. Just gonna let you know now I didn’t close so as to not to lead you on.

 

I had never really met his girlfriends friends before and so when I saw this America Ferrara looking girl (think Superstore, not ugly Betty) I didn’t think much of it because there was some dude around her most of the time. So I did what I normally do and that’s drink as much as I wanted while having fun. At some point it was late and we were drinking and listening to music in the garage and i went over to the jungle juice jug to get some and she’s like oh hey put some ice in there and I made a comment about how mad I was I’d been drinking ice-less juice all night like some goddamn peasant and she thought it was funny and then from then on she fully started ignoring that other dude, who apparently was some neighbor, to the point where he gave up and left and started hanging out with me and then she kept finding reasons to touch me and folks...I think she was into The Kid.

 

But because I’m me I didn’t even get her actual name, she just kept calling me Iowa and I was calling her Wisconsin, much less her number. I did invite her to my eventual house warming party but only if she brings some Spotted Cow from wisconsin, though.

I don’t even have my “friend”s number because he’s a friend of friend and so I’d have to go through at least two other people to shoot a text to some girl that lives two hours away who most surely won’t be drunk this time.

 

So just enjoy my misfortune.

Had my one on one with my boss today for mid year. Some fvck told her I’ve been “highly frustrated” lately, so she asked me about that. She said she doesn’t want me to leave so she wants to know what she can do to help. I took that opportunity to rant for 20 minutes about how stupid the people in this office are - she’s in St. Louis - and how my job is fine but keeping from yelling at people is my only concern.

 

She basically told me I will be promoted in February.

 

I said “Is there anything I should be doing to make Senior Mgr?”

 

“No, I just need to put in the request.”

 

So now if I don’t get it I’ll lose my mind.

So how long do you think it'll be until Sick thread overtakes Table thread?

 

It's kind of insane that as far as I can tell, they're the two longest forum threads on the internet.
