As someone who works with his hands for a living, and also has an über dad when it comes to fixing stuff, I can’t stand HGTV. I fuck with DiY Network because of Mike Holmes, but there’s too many people on HGTV who are fakes. Looking handsome in a flannel and tool belt does not a contractor make.
Depends how close you are to the guy. If it’s just a casual work aquaintence, that’s probably the right move. I worked side by side with this guy every day at our blue collar job, so there was commraderie there.
I did. And it was. Once the six beer barrier was breached, it wasn’t so bad. Luckily his buddies were cool so it just turned into a drunk fest. But cocktail hour was nerve wracking.
After the 4th of July hits, I get increasingly fed up with summer each week. Living in a place with actual winter, I catch a lot of flak for this, but August is the second worst month of the year (with February being the landslide worst). There’s nothing going on. It’s hot and humid as fuck. And unless your team is in a pennant race, baseball season has entered the wallpaper portion of the season.
I’m in the minority, but even in the midwest I get to a point where I’m ready for summer to be over. I bitch about the weather in February life everyone else, but seasonal changes are awesome.
As usual, you nailed it. Was texting with a buddy earlier today about how insane it is that it’s almost August. I haven’t even been as busy this summer as I have in the past and it’s been a total blur.
Every week I wake up on Tuesday full of dread and aggravation that there’s four whole days of work left. But once I clock out that day, I feel like I wake up and it’s Thursday and I have no idea where my week went. So it’s a constant struggle of time moving too slow yet too fast at the same time.
Definitely hits the nostalgia button. It’s funny, I had to look up what the can looked like before they threw it back. That’s how ingrained in my mind it is after only two years. So much for the limited release.
I’m assuming I’m getting downvoted because it’s a boring option, but not having a mortgage/car payment is the American Dream. Forgive me for being a boring old man. Plus, a million dollars isn’t even enough to get really wacky with.
From a not married persons perspective, it’s very obvious and appreciated when couples make an effort to hang out either together or separately. Conversely, it’s very obvious when a dude has abandoned his his friends. And it’s not a matter of seeing them less. But a string of consecutive no responses for an offer to get a beer is a one way ticket to being left off the group text.
Did it have men’s and women’s rooms before and announced a change? Or just one shitter and they felt the need to advertise how tolerant they are? If it’s the latter, fuck ’em.

Ok.

That got me too. A few weekends ago I was so exhausted I slept in until like 10 and felt like the biggest piece of shit all day.
Don’t forget the UA water bottle.

Sounds like you’re meeting the wrong people in Chicago.
You don’t know true social anxiety until you go solo to a wedding where you only know one of the people getting married.

I’ve never been a Miller Lite guy. But I’m right there with you on being sucked in by the marketing. Something so right about that throwback can.

Just the idea of being able to pay off my house and truck makes me giddy. Probably take my family on an awesome vacation and maybe invest the rest.
You should be required to take a psyche evaluation before you’re allowed to post a Yelp review.

Not wanting assholes to graffiti your bathroom is bad?
