“Look at it this way. Your twenties are the age where you still have a chance to explore. To reinvent yourself. Find out who you are, and what you want to do. By the time you hit your thirties, that’s when you have to knuckle down and build something. You may have a family. Responsibilities. People who depend on you. It’s a hell of a burden, and how well you shoulder it depends on the strength you developed in your twenties.”
Not exactly the nut punch I was looking for on a Friday morning…
I was about to suggest that you contribute content cause goddamn, that was beautiful… until I saw the word “AutoCAD” and immediately felt your pain. HMU if you’re ever in the land of horses. I’ll buy you a beer.
My first adult job went from 5-8s to 4-10s after maybe 6 months. I hated the idea at first, but you can’t put a price on a guaranteed 3 day break every single weekend. Once you’ve had it, you can never go back.
…or if you do, you do so begrudgingly (like taking a 62% pay raise)
I’m sure this makes me a sociopath but I somehow have the patience for cold brewing coffee and drinking it over ice. Less bitterness, more caffeine, and I get to save on calories compared to Starbucks.
Also – I have serious FOMO despite lack of a squad. PGP
You taking applications, Johnny D?
I’ll probably get meh’d for this but you have to be friends first and lovers second. Old age sets in and despite what the Pfizer commercials tell you, your junk (his and hers) will eventually stop working. You need a rock solid foundation to fall back on.
“I wake up on an average workday and am ready to go with no need for caffeine or artificial stimulants.”
I don’t think you grasp how rare this is. Steve Irwin (RIP) should be stalking your ass from 3 cubes away, talking into the camera about this rare mythical creature that can somehow turn willpower into morning energy. Meanwhile, my coherence could be described as “meets minimum expectations” after cup #3 of Death Wish.
Surrounded by shit filled diapers, or dropping fat stacks on horses while knocking back mint juleps? Todd dodging this bullet is smartest thing he’s done lately… for however short-lived it might be.

Anyway you could get your twin with the old TV show to say this? Maybe then people would actually listen…
(Sorry, it had to be said. “Meh” me into oblivion.)
Lexington Legends host Thirsty Thursday on occasion. Dollar beers = more money in your pocket for the Uber home.

Is there such a thing as an Office Dad? Cause I think a lot of us could use a coworker of your wisdom.

Never had a mimo. PGP
So we can safely assume she ripped the server a new one about her food being cold, right?
Not just any powder – Gold Bond. Has a wonderful cooling sensation.
I don’t know shit about wine so I just buy whatever has the funniest or most suggestive label at the time. PGP?
Yeaaaah… Didn’t think that one through.
PGHR nailed it – textbook depression. There’s no shame in seeking out help. I’m willing to bet some regulars around here have done it too.

I would endure the financial stress of a pay cut if I could have a social life that even remotely resembled this. PGP
