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

Well done, Hanksters. Any chance of you taking over for him some day?

 

If I really apply myself to learn more about infrastructure architecture and maybe grab a couple of key certifications.

 

So no. But I think I could realistically hit a director level.

I’m happy for my Uncle Hank. About time they realized they talent they have in him.

 

I love Tombstone but if I could recut it to just the Doc parts as well as the various gunfights I wouldn’t be mad. I just do not care for the love story between Wyatt and the actress. I also somehow have multiple copies of it on DVD if anybody needs it. In college I watched it a lot and I think everyone just assumed anytime they found a copy that it as mine and put it in my DVD case.

 

Never have seen Wyatt Earp.

 

Are there any other cowboy movies I need to watch? Outside of Tombstone, the man with no name movies, and Unforgiven I can’t say I’ve seen a ton but I love those ones.

Oh, also, a buddies dad got the number of a cute girl for me and we texted a bit and I asked her out and she said no, because she’s looking for somebody older even though my buddies dad told her I was around 31. (Don’t know her age but she said she was “closer to 40” than I was). Have a feeling it wasn’t really about my age but whatever. Still no. Good job good effort.

I'm glad you at least asked though. That's a good step.

 

I 2nd high plains drifter and the Coen's True Grit. I would also add 3:10 to Yuma with Russell Crowe because I think you would enjoy it. (I didn't love it, but who am I? Give it a shot.)

Hank, it took all of my restraint to not comment on your girls post about the bath you had ready for her, and her sayIng you’re a good husband, or whatever.

 

I was gonna write “yeah, those are the things you do for a girlfriend, not a wife” but I didn’t want to be a joy sucker.

 

Wording may not be perfect as I don’t remember the exact post

 

Sorry to all for discussing outside information.

 

Congrats on the car, brvy

I’ve seen Coen’s True Grit and the recent 3:10 to Yuma. Both great. Actually had to go to True Grit twice because the film burned up like 20 minutes into it the first time. Back before everything was digital.

For anyone else that's not Napa, unless you're really into film, you can skip The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. I watched it a few years back for the first time...it's slooooow.

I'm told IRS withholding guidelines were a bit light, and I had some cap gains from blowing out of my portfolio. I had done some math on the portfolio piece as I was liquidating everything, so it didn't catch me off guard.

 

I had a phone screen set up this morning, and I opted out of the process roughly a minute into the call. I had applied after a tough day at work, and after I cooled off, I realized it was stupid and started hoping they'd pass. This is not intended to be a humblebrag. I'm making the common sense decision and it's fcking miserable. I bet the interviewer is absolutely sick of this 4% unemployment BS.

I am in a shared office now, and my newly hired officemate is a gem. When we first met, she said something to me to the effect of, “I’m not used to having to share my office with anyone.” I’m not one to make statements about status, but this person is an entry level accounting grunt, only in an office because management would prefer not to have her screen observed.

 

Basically, I think offices bring out the worst in people.

Well, I spent six or seven years after high school trying to work myself up. Shipping clerk, salesman, business of one kind or another. And it's a measly manner of existence. To get on that subway on the hot mornings in summer. To devote your whole life to keeping stock, or making phone calls, or selling or buying. To suffer fifty weeks of the year for the sake of a two-week vacation, when all you really desire is to be outdoors, with your shirt off. And always to have to get ahead of the next fella. And still — that's how you build a future.

By all rights, at a firm like mine, I should be nowhere near an office. There are a lot of people in solo offices who just have no idea how outrageous it is, that they are taking space from people who spend all day talking with clients, needing to have conversations without disruption. I am not at all upset that offices generally go to client-facing advisors, because that's a direct connection to job function that someone like our COO doesn't have.
