Right in front of Boomer Prime is a horizontal stack of folders, you may have noticed. Those folders are over 20 years old and havent moved.

Because I would have to tend to my barely mobile mother, while also arranging for Boomer Prime's apartment and office to be cleared out. Hes an art/document pack rat and Ill have to rush though a literal loft of stuff. Id had to make sure my mother has 24/7 caretaker while I rush to clear out a factory space, and get a roof repaired.

Heres an old, lovely picture of the office. It used to be an old boys club until the 60s. Its an entire floor space for your basic NYC tenement. All the walls are covered in art and historical papers. Boomer Prime may be a horrible monster, but he has very good taste. One of my friends compares him to Jabba, a horrible disgusting personality you wouldnt want to sit down with, but boy he has good taste in Rancor pits. Those are original 30s art deco globe lighting. The shape on the left is Boomer Prime.




Might be a nice office if there weren't papers everywhere.

Like you can look closer and see neat details, but the first impression is "Oh god, you should put up curtains so people outside can't see what a loving trainwreck your office is."

My Boomer boss also collects file folders that he fills with poo poo and then promptly forgets about. Then the office slowly fills with file folders as he holds the same meetings with the same clients where he asks them the same questions and takes the same notes.

Some of those papers date to the mid 80s and yeah lol its just stacks of papers, most the desks are just file cabinets with doors laid on top. The file cabinets are also full of. He has a back space in the office where he keeps... lumber. Because he always has plans for furniture or semi custom window molding but never gets around to it.

So the back of this office has 10ft long planks of wood. Teak and Cherry. Ill try and get a pic of it because its just stacks of lumber around a fire place. Also porn on the walls, even in the bathrooms.

Part of my quitting was that Boomer Prime would forget a job (job=folder) and then when the client called back hed just make a new folder (thank you multiple untreated concussions). This meant that some jobs had 5 identical folders. And I wasnt allowed to condense them into one folder, because "each one is a timeline, and I can see what changed over time with each folder".

My desk had like 7 jobs on it but I had over 30 folders because of copies of jobs. When I said gently caress it and condensed a bunch he still demanded the "first folder" for a clients number, even though I had the clients number on the new, leaner folder. He wanted to make sure the number from the first folder is the same as the current number.

This is a concern that is brought up every time Boomer Prime takes on an Italian client. Like he starts legit getting anxiety about the client.

The answer is always racism. All Italians are in the mob, or related to a mob member. Italians who own property, are landlords, have union membership, are all more likely to be in the mob. Therefore we need to do there jobs quickly and without issues, lest they burn the office down.

One of my dad’s friends gave $5k to a guy in his college who seemed like a whiz kid for his new business. Decades later, the guy who he gave the money to said he counted it as founder shares in his company, Fortune 500 at this point (omitted for potential doxx), and turned over the first guy a investment for a cool $100m plus. 1/1,000 people at this level are good, therefore no need for institutional changes!

So I worked for Boomer Prime.
One day in the office he threw a temper tantrum when the boxes of paper were delivered. He started shouting about how no one does anything and what is he paying people for he just should fire everyone. So starts kicking the box of paper across the office.

My desk was an upside down L shape. The right side is a large drafting desk and broken blue print printer. While he was kicking the box next to my desk he falls…into the blue print machine and this lifts the drafting desk 4 feet in the air towards me. He ends up falling onto the floor instead. Boomer Dad runs into the bathroom and comes out 5 minutes later. While he was kicking the box he realized he had to go to the bathroom but he wanted to continue his point that no one earns their worth in the office with the box. His started pants fell down and that is what caused his fall and my near death experience. Boomer Tantrum.

Lol if the legit reason he didn't wear a mask was "gently caress it, I don't have long to live anyway" I'd be on board a little...but no, he was showing solidarity with a deranged autocrat and it literally got him killed...this is why, nazis and collaborators, deserve exactly what they get in the end. :guillotine:

When I officially 'defected' from the Catholic Church (because it made the news my diocese had covered up over a thousand kid rapes, with the bishop personally apologizing in a letter to one of the pedos for all the trouble he was being put to, getting shuffled out from under any consequences) they had the nerve in their letter confirming receipt that 'This means you can't be buried in holy ground you know!". To which I immediately told all my friends and family that my dying wish is to be cremated and dumped out in the local Catholic Cemetery. gently caress them let em get a dust buster.

My big Grand Compromise plan is that we issue everyone with more than 10m in assets a government backed, never-pay-it-off credit card they can use on anything they want. And then we nationalize all their assets. The way they stack cash while living like hogs, it's empirically proven they literally can't spend more money faster than their assets accumulate wealth, so society comes out on top and meanwhile they don't experience any decline in living standards. They'll still pussyache cause the whole point is having more than other people and seeing the poor suffer, but the next administration can amend the law with a 'hang any kulak who complains' section. A second term is guaranteed, FDR got 4 and that nonentity Truman rode his coattails to a 5th.

Man, sorry old topic but I gotta comment:

"Age is just a number, but how that number is perceived is subjective. As people get older, the definition of “old” changes. In a Pew Research Center study, only 21% of those between the ages of 65 and 74 said they felt old, and just 35% of those 75 and older self-identified that way."

I'm hitting mid-30s and maybe it's just cause I was a halfway decent athlete in HS/College (XC/Track) so the decline was more marked, I've never felt older. I have mystery back twinges that don't get in the way of anything, but I can't stretch out and there's no way they will do anything but get worse as time goes on. Injuries heal slower and less completely to the point my whole left leg from toes to hip is basically crabmeat... I clearly recall being a little kid and trying to imagine myself hitting 30 and it seeming like a massively impossible age to ever reach. Every group email/textchain my millenial friends are on is half mocking each other for our slow slide into senescence and we're less than half as old as some of these people. We were telling a guy to just 'climb into a coffin already' like six years ago for talking up how good 'Younger Us' was.

E: Younger Us came out ten years ago. loving christ jesus bleeding on the cross I'm ancient. I'm gonna fill my pockets with rocks and just walk in to the ocean.
