A professional business person by day, a professional goofball by night. I enjoy a strong whiskey ginger and a nice bubble butt to grab a hold of in the evening. I putt like a champ, but spend most of my days in the rough cause of my slice. A first date with me will always be a mystery because I don't buy the Groupon for dinner until the morning of.
I still have one from my buddy who is already divorced. I really want to throw it away cause she was a fucking homewrecker, but it’s a really big one that is holding up my court papers for my speeding ticket.
I’ve got a lot of shit I need to work out in my life. PGP.
“Unless you learn to face your own shadows, you will continue to see them in others, because the world outside of you is only a reflection of the world inside of you.”
My last job as an account manager for a firm that provided emergency international medical evacuations for people that get sick/injured while traveling. Someone in the call center came in high once and told a person that had been stabbed in a mugging in Kenya to “put a band aid on it and take two aspirin and call back in the morning if he didn’t feel better”.
Don’t pass Go, don’t collect $200. He was escorted out of the building and arrested.
I have strayed away from posting this kind of stuff, but it is totally possible to work a 40 hour week and have a decent paycheck. The question really is what skill sets are you working on that make you marketable? For about a year and a half if I had any downtime at work (including my lunch breaks) I was consuming articles on Business Insider and other like sites. I was mostly looking for articles about how to interview, what are the current trends in resumes, and what skills are hot right now for the line of work that I have been working since graduating. I have a BS in International Business (from a D-3 school) and I work in Healthcare IT as a Business Analyst for a firm that is growing like crazy. Hands down one of the strongest skills that you can still have is knowing how to use excel like a boss. I was always checking out YouTube videos and teaching myself new tricks. It is totally doable to learn this stuff by yourself.
Making moves like this took some time, but I kept in mind the following:
1. Generally speaking, the company you work for is not looking out for your best interest. Once you accept your job offer with them, they have you pegged to a number that they know they really don’t have to go above to pay you.
2. This isn’t the job market that our parents went through. If you want to move up in the world and make more money, you have to be willing to make job changes every so often. Having your resume and linked in ready to go at all times is basic level stuff.
3. There is so much free material online that you can use to increase your marketable skill sets. You just have to sit down and apply yourself.
4. Be willing to move to an area that has higher paying jobs, usually major cities (Baltimore for me)
5. Network the shit out of people. Look up Gary Vaynerchuk’s speeches on YouTube
Get motivated. My motivation was that I have about $65k in debt and I want to own a house in the next year. Financially, I am on my own right now so I had to buckle down and work to get on track to reaching my goal.
My dad always had the same joke when I was a kid. He would wake up in the morning and say “Man I have a stiff neck this morning. Must have got the Viagra caught in my throat last night”.

I’ve been on the same roll of shit tickets at my apartment for a month and a half now.
I’m guessing you didn’t pledge when you were in college then.
I was kinda hoping that you were going to put Trading Places on this list.
I’d still eat that salmon, too.

Yea, whatever the fuck that means.
Ahh been busy with work so much with our busy season that I kinda went off the grid for a bit.
Don’t know who this Todd guy is, but if he is anything like me then he is A-OK in my book.
I’ve been gone for about two months and this is what I come back to?

Don’t feel bad about that, bro. TED talks are amazing.
Probably the best PGP I’ve read in the past month.

I won’t give my exact number, but according to Fusion.net (http://fusion.net/story/41833/wealth-gap-calculator-are-you-in-the-millennial-one-percent/) I am in the top 3-4% of millennials. I am 28 and I haven’t worked more than 40 hours a week in a long time.

Only eating the inside of the sushi roll and leaving the rice on the tray afterwards….
Fucking savage Bruh.
Got invited to a wedding that had the reception at a pizza joint. I shit you not the invitation said “Pay for your own pizza dinner.”

I recall trying to find a 4th a couple of weeks ago in a comment section of a column. Didn’t work out too well for me.
