Google LIRR my friend. They were about to go on strike over the summer, which would have effectively shut down Long Island. Obviously there was no recourse other than to heed to their demands. Pay goes up and service goes down.
I too live at home for the exact reasons you listed. Otherwise, I would have to arrived at the train station at 6:48 to catch a 7:02 train. Then I would end up driving around to hopefully find a spot. Sometimes its a trap spot that has a hidden sign saying employee parking only, so I would end up coming back to a welcoming $150 fine. Sometimes when I can’t find a spot, I would need to park 10 minutes away and end up missing the 7:02. Next, I would stand for over an hour both ways, most likely next to a Kevin-James looking fellow. The return trip is a frightening event for even people without a fear of tight spaces, being packed like sardines into Penn Station. The train is also probably delayed due to signal failure, significant debris, or most likely a suicide (which they probably failed), and people start getting physical. You might be spared from future misery once the track is announced, as its a 50/50 chance you get murdered by the stampede of people trying to get an actual seat on the train. You eventually arrive home and realize its the end of the month, and that your monthly pass is about to expire. You’re going to need to arrive by 6am the next day to purchase a new monthly pass, since the LIRR obviously won’t let you do anything digital. Time to pony up $300+ as you thank them for punching your ticket.
People take public service for granted. My county’s fire departments are all volunteer, and only the Chief and some select staff get any sort of pay. The rest get a reduction on their taxes, community college paid for if they so choose, and some other small compensations. People think these volunteers all sit around the firehouse drinking beer and shooting the shit. This is probably true most of the time. But then they get called to duty in the middle of the night after they finished working their other full time job, and it’s now their turn to save a life for free. These same people that are the first to call 911 for help are the people that complain about these compensations for “volunteers” and how they really aren’t admirable people. It really is astounding that people can talk shit about a job that requires a volunteer to run into a fire, while others are running away.
Never take that shit for granted, and I commend you for doing something for the greater good.
You’ve lost three times in a row? You’re a guaranteed hit. Make sure to run up the tab as high as possible since you’re a lock. (coming from a degenerate gambler)
I usually combine 1 and 4 into one. When my hands get cold, I naturally put my hands down my shorts. I can fix the situation down their while also using them as hand warmers. Multi-tasking.
I finished pledging with swine flu and pneumonia, granted I rarely attended any of my 14 credits during this time but that’s besides the point. Navigating through the woods while hallucinating from a fever was an ordeal in itself.
Shibby was a freedom fighter. Not the freedom fighter that we deserved, but the one we needed. He’s a late descendent of Yogi Bear, hailing from Jellystone Park. His purpose is simply to crush Margs while simultaneously stealing your girl.
It’s sad that he was added to the no-frat list (similar to the no-fly list) by the Grandex Gestapo after the Massacre known as the forum tea party.
If you really want to have some fun with it, make sure to heckle him while in the field. Tell your pitcher that each ball looked like a strike by the way the umps been calling the game, and that you don’t where the zone is anymore.
Been there my friend. There’s nothing more gratifying than taking a strike in slow pitch softball that clearly lands a foot outside, allowing you to subtly (or not so subtly) point at the mark in the dirt. The umpires love that.
My friend has received a jury duty summons three times, and has failed to show three times. I was hoping the Sheriff would show up at his door, but that hasn’t happened. His Dad’s buddy is the Chief Clerk for one of the presiding judges in our state supreme court, and said that the State doesn’t have the time or inclination to hunt down those who fail to show.
Federal court on the other hand…those U.S. Marshall’s will show up at your doorstep in a heartbeat.
I wouldn’t consider seeing someone more than once a week ASAP. Anywho, I’m a fan of the female V and if that means seeing a person twice a week instead of laying on my couch watching a re-run of It’s Always Sunny, so be it.
The greatest nap of all is the post-golf nap. This nap only becomes better when napping while actually watching the golf channel following a long day on the links. There is no better sleep and that is a fact.
It also helps when you have a strong buzz, but that’s neither here nor there.
Financially, yea, it’s a bad move. However, the people that drive luxury cars do it not for the performance of said car, but for the feeling of self worth associated with the car.
Who wants a 7 year old Benz when the person that you’re trying to impress is leasing a new Beamer. It’s superficial, but such is life.
Actually, sunrise in the winter (say February), is close to 7 if not past 7 (in NYC). She also said “all the way in the sky”, which could be construed as solar noon, also known as “12:00pm”.
Sorry you’re bitter about your job. Maybe you should let loose once in a while and shack up. You can even use an uber to get home.

Looks like Grandex recently acquired stock in Boomerang.

You guys had two first round picks? That’s neat.
You should totally come out to Manhattan for the next bachelorette party. I offer free room and board 😉
Your description of yourself makes you sound incredibly hipster. You do you, bud.
Life’s in shambles? Nothing the #MargLife can’t fix

I don’t get most of your High School Me references, but that’s just me.
Highschool Me would have gave Highschool You weird looks. Present day me would drink a Sierra Nevada with Present Day you.

When dating a girl, you see her almost every other week?
Pete was 4 over because he ordered four beers and a cheeseburger at 8 in the morning.
