That’s how it’s supposed to work. My girlfriend wanted a desk and I didn’t particularly care either way, so I drove and carried the thing, she paid, and I assembled the son of a bitch. It was only a couple hundred bucks and now I don’t have to WFH standing on next to my kitchen counter all day.
For whatever reason my fraternity chapter housed 80 men and encouraged living in house through senior year with stuff like nicer rooms and an all-expenses-paid Vegas trip. Not saying it was worth it, but I did it, and after that I can never live with dude roommates again. Dudes are gross.
Pledges older than 19 are going to have a lot of resentment for everybody else in the chapter. It has to be extremely hard to listen to some shithead 19-year old “active” telling you when to go to bed and what nights you can drink when you’re 23.
We did Bouchon which is also a Thomas Keller restaurant but much more low-key. We spent about $300 total for the two of us, but we had nice appetizers and wine for the whole meal.
Don’t overdress. Unless you’re literally going to The French Laundry, anything more than a polo and nice shorts is just going to result in you being hot and sweaty drunk, and some shithead in a t-shirt and flip flops sitting next to you at the wine bar or restaurant will ruin any semblance of sophistication anyway.
Additional rule. If you owe somebody money, and you do not know for a fact they have Venmo, don’t expect them to sign up just for you. Pay them in cash, promptly.
SME (pronounced smeeeee) is one of the most annoying terms in office lexicon. Expert or “person who knows what the fuck is going on” is not as brief but it gets the point across just as well and doesn’t make you sound like a drone.
Sailor Jerry’s guy here, but my girlfriend for some reason thinks friggin’ Castillo Spiced is better. I know it’s rotgut but a handle later I’ve adjusted.
Off topic, but why is vodka-soda so popular? It’s a bland gin & tonic. If you’re calorie-conscious, gin has the same caloric value as vodka and decent tonic has like 40 calories a glass or you can off-brand diet tonic which is dirt cheap.
I decided a few years ago to risk it and dip my pen in the company ink and now matching company-branded Eddie Bauer jackets are part of our fall wardrobe.

Well if a college athlete can get in shape, anybody can do it!

Every time I have visited Chicago the lake had an E. Coli advisory…
I was at my hometown bar after a bad breakup a few years ago and a guy my dad’s age said, “wow, she sure got hot, didn’t she?”. What the fuck?

Tito’s is a fine drink, but it’s tasteless by design. That’s what (good) vodka is.
Awesome fan-fiction.

Hickey. “Don’t Take it From Us”. It’s not labeled as Grandex so I assume it’s just promotion of his side project.
The main reason I went to college was to never live in a place that doesn’t have air conditioning.
