Krookie Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 at work. internships suck. 40 hr week, no pay. "prepare for law school", they said.
Enoch Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 People would actually choose to play Arma 2 on a friday night *sigh*, and DRIVE... You can't drink and drive HELLO! Well, the booze on the other end of the drive will be free. at work. internships suck. 40 hr week, no pay. "prepare for law school", they said. More like "be absolutely freakin' sure that you want to go to law school." From a financial and quality-of-life point of view, it can be a truly terrible decision for a lot of people. Scads of folks are ending up either with loans they can't pay off, or stuck in jobs that they hate but can't leave because it's the only way they can pay off their loans.

I'm planning on being able to go top 100, hopefully. but yeah, I hope these summer internships give me an edge later on in life, but guess we'll see.

Taste isn't that hot either, granted haven't had any high-brow booze. Fanciest I've had was Affligem and some beer from Quebec that uses unfiltered water or some nonsense.

Nepenthe Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 I never understood the appeal of booze. Just made me thirsty and sleepy eventually. I like a mojito or two every now and then, but normally it's virgin cuba libre* all the way. at work. internships suck. 40 hr week, no pay. "prepare for law school", they said. It's a good preparation for when you work 100 hours a week to actually get paid. I'm lucky that my entire student debt consists of what I have on my credit card at the moment. Life sure has sucked for the past 10 years, though... *for the drink analphabets, that's coke with a slice of lime. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions

Hurlshort Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Today my daughter took a large stick and slid it down the back of her shirt. She said she needed it to fight the bad man that took candy from little girls. It looked just like every video game character that carries a sword behind their back. Now she has a fly swatter set up in the same position.
Malcador Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Got a good laugh of my mom telling me that she understand why she'll never get grandkids from me - "because you were not meant to be with people".

Guest The Architect Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 You can get away with the geekiness if you're good looking like me. Or if you're not, you could at least learn how to dress properly. I don't know what it is, but nerdy guys can't dress for ****. Look flash and you start breaking the stereotype and you can hide (or be accepted easier) your geeky hobbies. It's a bit like how masculine gay guys have slowly helped people become more accepting of the gay community compared to past decades, because they help to break the stereotype of gay guys being prancing, limp wristed fairies with a high pitched, girly voice who like pink.
Tigranes Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 I don't know what it is, but nerdy guys can't dress for ****. Simple. What do 'normal people' do? They don't get into nerdy stuff, they don't get into jocky stuff, etc, so what the hell do they do with all their time?
