Now a graduate with a few years of business "experience", Spiff didn't exactly turn into the interplanetary explorer extraordinaire he had hoped to become. Instead, he spends his days as a cynical desk jockey, moonlighting as a Contributing Writer for PGP and marching ever closer to the big 3-0, which has only fueled his transition from quarter-life crisis straight into thrisis.
IF i had a xmas bonus i’d pay off my credit card debt
Hells to the yeah. Mine disappears every year straight into the pockets of AMX.
what exactly is this bonus you speak of? my boss gave me a lotto ticket, does that count?
Student loans should have made the list but this is pretty good
My bonus doesn’t even cover one month’s payment.
WTF is a Holiday Bonus?
Really. We get a ham and a bunch of maple bacon. No joke.
We got a big $50 bonus and the taxes from it came out of our next paycheck. So generous
I did #1 and I hope one day I can dive into a vault of money like #9.
I guess I have to be the one to say it–hookers and drugs.
#8 is hilarious! #11 looks fucking awesome.
