    I honestly forgot that even happened, which goes to show how big of a lasting impact that whole fad had (big surprise there.) Wouldn’t be surprised if something else happens though. I mean these people are the kings and queens of drama and creating controversy so I bet some stupid “fad” hashtag will be created and used for a few days until people get tired of using the same one and inevitably get enveloped into the new trend. #Millenials #AmIRight #YesAllPeople

    Hacksaw Ridge was one of the best overall movies I’ve ever seen in terms of screenplay, acting, sounds etc. but once again some bougie film hardly anyone has ever heard of will take basically every single award as America collectively yawns whilst Meryl Streep, who never fails to make herself noticed, goes on another liberal rant against Trump and how terribly terrible all men and white people are as she later gets in her limo to go back home to her multi-million dollar mansion in the hills.

    Grabbed a couple burritos from the Mac Shack because or else I start clock watching, starving, around 10am. I’m not about that life (I actually am I’m just tired of it this week.) Gonna take some more practice tests then “review” for the remaining 5-6 hours today.

    Well hopefully PGPUndergrad can alleviate you of all your sadness as he becomes your beloved husband and you don’t have to text anyone but him “u up?” at 2am.

  • Desk Jockey 8 years ago on You Have To Know When To Call It Quits

    I had been in an LTR for about 3 years when my other half said she wasn’t into it anymore, didn’t have feelings like she should etc. We had been distance for the better part of those years as I was at college 6 hours away, and then she got a job by my school after I had moved back home after graduation. I resisted at first thinking “naw, this is going to work and I’m probs gonna marry her cause we’re great together.” After accepting it wasn’t going to happen, I just let go and quit trying to make it work.

    The point is, letting go is the hardest thing to do, but realize that if one half isn’t in it 100%, you’re selling yourself short and deserve better, someone who is willing to give the 100% you’re willing to give (which is something I’ve never personally experienced.)

    Long story long, this breakup allowed me to change my destination location for my job to my dream city instead of where she wanted to go (so we could work things out.) Sometimes you need to just let go and know that everything will be ok, if not much better.

    That got deep real fast. My b. Rant over.

    I assumed he was trying to roll over his 401(k) into a Roth IRA since that’s what it sounds like. But yes, seek a professional, you can DM me if you need my number.

    If your company has a 401(k) match I would pay attention to that first, at minimum contribute the percentage they will match up to. At that point up to about $454 a month can be contributed post-tax to the Roth. Maxing/contributing all you can to a Roth is a very good thing to do, and is usually the first investment vehicle past the 401(k) match that people should be taking advantage of. Can’t miss what you never had, so if you start contributing early you will never “miss” that money and your future (see: wife) will thank you later.

    Just like Bolen said, once he started drinking coffee he couldn’t stop closing. Hop on the train, there’s room next to me.

    Back in the office lacking motivation to study for an exam my job depends on (yes that’s motivation enough but it doesn’t make it any less grueling.) I’ve been studying for exams since mid-October and I’m really just ready to have them over with and move on with my life and move out of my mother’s house into job training in St. Louis for 6 months.

    Shitty thing is I work in a small 3 person office so whenever I go to use the Keurig I get mean mugged like I’m drinking an entire box of k-cups so I can’t really have more than 2 cups a day without looking like a savage.

    1) Being a male I don’t really have an opening line for Bumble, it’s usually simply a witty response or something and always includes a winky face.
    2) I would like to see Matty B on the cast because I want to see if Dillon would come out alive.
    3) Compare and contrast your best college night and your best post grad night.
