Luckily, Murfreesboro (25 minutes south of Nashville) had no such surcharge. And, thanks to $7.75 32-ounce drinks at Gentleman Jim’s, everyone got hammered on the cheap.
The only point I disagree with is the “probably not a close friend”. All my “guys” are my brothers, whether through my college fraternity or through the Mason’s Lodge. My skills are healthcare, and I’m pretty handy, too. We just trade skills when stuff needs to be done. That’s friendship, hell, that’s brotherhood. And as always, when I need them, I always ask them to teach me or show me something I can do to make it easier the next time it breaks/I need their help.
Also, never underestimate the goodwill a good quality jar of moonshine can have on any relationship.
Eh, not really. I’m immune to them as well. Some people are just lucky that way. There’s a long line in my family of folks that don’t get them. Not sure why, we just don’t.
You keep thinking that way, slugger. And when you start seeing that you’re not advancing in the office, and no one wants to help you out, you’ll realize why. Working hard is great, and coworkers respect that, but being a try-hard won’t win you any friends in the office. And office politics are how a spunky young upstart like yourself goes from the mailroom to JVP of Accounting/Marketing/whatthefuckever
“Collegiate backup”? Bullshit. He sat his first two years, like most players, but the dude played lights out at Michigan and started his last two seasons, as well as being a team captain and selected All-Big 10 honorable mention. He went 20-5 as a starter. It’s not like he was Kurt Warner bagging groceries before getting his shot…
“Sometimes I really wanna just give up on everything and create a children’s TV show, because then nothing I do has to make any damn sense as long as a 4-year-old finds it amusing.”
EMTs at 22%? Yeah, I call bullshit. I’m an EMT, and the fattest people I know, I work with. Trust me, scarfing down McDonalds and Wendy’s after working a wreck or running grandma to the hospital on a consistent basis isn’t conducive to a healthy lifestyle.

Last year, I got told, “be thankful you’re employed here. No other company pays EMTs as much”. (12.00 an hour)
I’d have been happy to get a gift card.

That coworker is kind of a dick though.

That fuckin’ asshat. I *hate* that guy…
“Alright, alright, alright”
Yes you do…

RIP, Stu.

Actually, its brilliant.
You need to get a refund on that writing class.
Pretty accurate description of Suh, though.
Calling it “McDon’s” is a start…

12. It’s not like you’d be missing much…
Not even “good” liars.
*were. Fucking autocorrect.
