Aspiring to be casually rich and office hot, while plugging away at an entry level job that promises a pension and good benefits because #compromise and idk maybe I’ll make enough to buy a fancy Japanese toilet.
I have a tendency to run away and/or move to foreign countries when life gets "too real" or I'm feeling restless. This has resulted in me being both single af and struggling to buy a studio apartment where my bed folds into a wall.
Champagne taste, sparkling water budget; so my 5 year plan is to marry money -and then ride out the alimony payments once he realizes what a nightmare I am.
Actually went up to someone’s room and based on the state of their bed turned around and left in disgust.
My vagina had never been drier, and I never looked at him the same.
I actually see his point. If you are in a somewhat temporary position in your early to mid twenties a headboards not a make or break, for university I literally used a single $200 mattress from Costco that I replaced my dorm my room bed with and after I moved off campus I just threw that thing on the flooor, no frame, no box spring. That said by 26 you better have your fucking shit together and anything less than a proper bed with decent thread count sheets and a throw pillow or two is basically the same as being homeless.
Best way around this is gift with purchase. I always drop at least $45 on foundation but get like 90% of my other shit free. Works out to be cheaper than drugstore shit if you balance it out through the products. I’ve found Lancôme is one of the better brands for this.
Will, first of all thank you for the content.
So, I’ve been overthinking this way too much but should it ever come to a the dark day that TGDAG comes to an end I’m thinking that due to their common law coexistence (let’s be honest, we’re not expecting Todd to long term hold his ground) and our protagonist being funemployed that upon their relationships eventual demise Todd is on the hook for alimony and she gets the apartment because she’s “dependent”. Clare obviously moves to a great place far away from these two (let’s be honest she’s obviously too good for Todd) with a yard and somehow gets Speery because, well #freesperry.
Iceland is amazing, I would strongly recommend renting a car. FYI booze there is stupid expensive. Bring a flask and throw a bottle in your checked luggage. Also Iceland air allows free stopovers for up to 7 days so if you play your cards right you might even. E able to bang out two countries in one trip.
At this point I almost want Todd to suffer. Everyone makes the occasional bad choice but he’s in too deep now, leave the Claire’s of the world free from chaining themselves to the Todd’s of the world.
How does that even happen? I’m not gonna act all high and mighty but if (read: when) I’m in that situation it’s because I’m out and there’s no washroom access. Condolences though.
Used to do this at a previous job. Even though the pay was good Im so glad I left. My advice is to throw out some resumes and see what’s out there. I’m not thrilled about my current situation but I’m also not in a headspace of actively trying to convince myself to go to work or tallying up my sick days and wondering how many more I can push in before a chat with HR.

Provided there are no kids involved I’ll absolutely give you that.

I feel worse for Brittany and her half shift with girl than I do for Todd and these almost 2 years with her.
Todd for the fucking win!
Is that a roll of quarters in your pocket or are you happy to… oh. K. Never mind.
False. Black bear.

Lying about your St Patrick’s day plans for the opposite reasons you lied in college PGP.
Quinn thank you for writing this. I think the sheer number of comments from all over the board on this highlight exactly why this is so important.
It was kinda amusing to see ATL guy get all wound up tho…

It’s all about the aesthetic. Duh.
I actually 100% agree with you and this the Gatsby thing is a personal pet peeve. Great book (and movie) though.
I think answering stupid questions is half my work day and a good portion of my job description
