and after 3 days, he is risen!

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

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

Also, Brv, I'll check that doc out next time I need to reaffirm I'm a pussy. You don't happen to have a dentist and/or optometrist to recommend me would you? I've been putting those off for far to long, but am weary of just picking a name from a phonebook. Please and Thanks.

dawson you said this was investing? like, is it ibanking? there are so many career paths in finance that start at trash pay and go crazy exponential if you show even a little competence. I believe ibanking is like that...

BECAUSE THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION HAPPENING RIGHT NOW
Well you ignored my last questions, so clearly you're not serious about us making this decision for you.

I know it was like that back in the day, not sure if it is anymore. IN THIS ECONOMY.

But if I'm going to help you, you have to be completely open to me. I'll need to know my way around your thoughts better than your girlfriend, your analyst, anyone. If this is a dream and you've got a safe full of secrets, I need to know what's in that safe. For this to work, you have to let me in.

i'm not a fan of dark shirts with dark suits. you gotta be all kinds of handsome to pull that off.
Black suits are a mistake unless you are a real grown ass man.
who the fuck do you slovaks think you're talking to? have you fucking seen my pictures?
Hey, man, I tried to tell you to take the first job but noooooo. Welcome to Poorsville, population Shake and I.

I don't want to speculate too much. dawson is being real careful about his identity which is probably smart.oh, so my brother is actually not speaking to me anymore over this stock debacle. my parents were pretty mad at me when I basically said this is a massive upgrade over being on speaking terms with the guy.

Wait, so what happened? He said it would be smart to buy some stock, you didn't really react, then you bought the stock but he didn't and you made a bunch of cash, then you rubbed it in?

basically.the rubbing it in part came as a result of him 1) knowing I was long the S&P and 2) emailing me to remind me every time it went down in value for like, two weeks prior to his visit.

I agree with Shake. The money you start out with makes it very difficult to move up in pay scale (bad sentence). It's all about your initial salary. Unless you're a super-duper star but even then you're probably going to have a hard time.I would say counter with a higher amount.There's a ton to consider. You've got the hours worked / quality of life / cost of living to start.California has a higher cost of living than say Vir...some other state. For argument let's say job #1: California; 70-90 hours; 100k.job #2: The Creek; 50-60 hours; 50k.How much more $ does job #2 need to make that a clear winner?

I don't have a dentist that is so crazy good (like the doctor I noted(He really is that good, I don't even mind overselling him, because I know you'll love him)) that I would even bother mentioning. We go to Sunset Dental in Norwalk, but I wouldn't recommend it over any other random dentist, unless you get someone pregnant (high five!), because they are great with kids.I don't have a optometrist, since my eyesight is crazy awesome. At one point I had (confirmed by an iDoctor) 20/10 vision, but it's already noticeably slipping in my old age. I would guess I'm now 20/16 or 20/20. Either way, I'm not disabled enough in my eyes to need a special doctor for that.

If you can, this is the look you need to rock. EDIT: Just not sloppy like this douche.dokxoh.jpg
oh that is just horribly done. I do enjoy the color choices, and I'm assuming that's what you meant, but the slim lapelled suit along with the wide tie and wide collared shirt... jesus, it's like, has this dude ever even blown a guy? fucking come on. and for the love of god, cinch up your tie not, it's not difficult.but no, I don't have a grey suit or pink tie. I really do want a grey suit, but a dark grey suit in the fittings I like (slim, notch lapel, flat front pants) has been ridiculously difficult to find for some reason. plus, I already have 2 suits (a black and a tan) and very little reason to ever wear either one, so it would be a waste of money. maybe if I ever got a job paying me dawson level money I'd pick one up, who knows.

yep, I agree with this. you're (dawson) in a much higher power position than you think you are. it took me three YEARS to get the offer for the job I have now and you got two in what, a week? you should go back to the firm you want to work for and explain that you won't take as large of a pay cut as they're offering. if they tell you to fuck off, then fuck off and take the job in the new city (which sounds to me like a damn good opportunity as it is). but I mean, unless these companies operate completely different than any others I've worked for, you WILL be restricted on how quickly you move up both in position and salary, no matter how good you are.though I'm sure the deadlines for all this stuff have already passed and you've probably already made your decision. and I'm sure it was STUPID.

Your life doesn't really make a lot of sense to me.
You have to look at it from a kids perspectiveTrue story... A few years back I ran into my ninth grade science teacher inside WalMart. After chatting for a few minutes about this and that she turned to my wife and said, "He hasnt changed one bit!"In other news...Today Ill be goofing around in the shop making christmas presents. Thats the scheduled activity anyway. I call them the wife haters. Wives just hate them for some reasonFollow along on twitter and youll soon figure out why....The one being documented is going to a fellow sickie. If anyone wants one let me know and soon your wife will hate me too!
