Had this chick tonight telling me about her old man working like 7 days a week, 16 hours a day. Then she started hollerin at her FOUR kids that dinner was there. I bailed.
I used to work with a guy who was a total dog. He’d seek these ladies out, single moms with multiple kids, usually at the grocery store. He’d strike up a conversation, ask her out, buy the kids a pizza or a bucket of chicken, and pay for the babysitter. Granted, this was the 80’s and 90’s, but his claim was that these ladies were so tired of taking care of those kids and so happy to get away that they’d be up for anything. Dude probably had 50 illegitimate kids all over the country (ex military).
Hey Toe, let us know how many times you get slapped until you get your first date using your newfound techniques.
Welp, headed in again. Pretty easy. Working everyday basically. Short shifts. 4-7 hours. Making about what I thought. Covers my bills. Meh. I'll get through the first of the year and do something else.
That's the sorriest outlook I've seen in a very long time. If you don't like being an engineer why did you get the degree? No matter, there's still time for you to figure out what you like to do. I'm working more hours than ever at a solar roofing/ car company and loving it. I've always enjoyed at least some aspect of being an engineer and I do like having the ability to buy stuff I don't need. I guess I'm very fortunate.
Yea I've been putting my time in as an intern and I'm all butt hurt over it. I really enjoy it when I get to do real engineering but I'm mostly stuck doing grunt work. Don't get me wrong I enjoy being able to buy stuff I don't need but usually after buying it and realizing that it means nothing to me I feel dissappointed in a way. I'm about to go spend a week with my dog, mountain bike, a friend and my wagon roaming around. Life is good sir
