Happened yesterday, but I got to go to the Wait, Wait....Don't Tell Me recording. It was absolutely hilarious and even the callers made some good jokes. If you listen (and the joke actually makes it onto the air) you may even be able to hear me because I was almost literally the only person that laughed at a pretty brutal Franken joke that Sagal made. I haven't laughed that much in a long time. And I got to hear Paula Poundstone tell a story about how one of her cats peed in her ear once.

Oh! See, I thought only the container that held gasoline was flammable (since I always see those stickers on them even if there isn't any gasoline in them). That makes sense to have a special fire extinguisher just for gasoline containers then.

I loving won Xmas! Took my nephew, dad, and brother in law to the Bears game (it was my nephew's first pro football game). Bought my niece a real pink cash register (with keys! {she's big into having keys right now}) so we could play store for real. Made the lasagne for our dinner (my mom made the lechon and black beans and rice.) Scared my dad with a fake snake in his present. Got my sister a spa day so she could get some time away for herself. And framed my grandfather's war medal with a picture of him and my grandma as a gift to my mom (that was a joint effort by me and my dad). I'm not usually a good person, but I am a good son/brother/uncle. Solice Kirsk has a new favorite as of 08:18 on Dec 25, 2017 |

I got a date with a woman I've had a serious thing for since I was basically 17. I haven't been nervous for a first date in decades, but I'm all antsy and couldn't sleep. The best part is she knew me back when I was a massive rear end in a top hat piece of poo poo, so I don't have to worry about her finding out about that part of my life. I really hope this works out.

Spinster posted:omg. Post what happens please. Well... Solice Kirsk posted:Had a date with a woman that I've basically loved for almost two decades. Everything went great (we've been friends the entire time), but when we kissed for the first time it felt really awkward and weird for me, and I just can't get past it. We tried a bit more, but it just felt like I was messing around with a relative or something. We're too good of friends to move forward, but she doesn't feel that way and still wants to pursue a romantic relationship. I think I'm hosed and not in a good way. She convinced me to give it one more shot, so we're hanging out again tomorrow, but I know myself very well and I'm going to be just as uncomfortable with any physical affection with her. And I didn't go through with trying to sleep with her again. She's not too happy about any of this, but I think we'll be OK.

The one guy I was friends with first (for around 5 years) it was really weird the first few times we kissed, I felt awkward and his lips were like cold Yeah, it kind of blindsided me too. My buddy from out of town surprised us and came into town today, so heading out on the city in a good old fashioned bender tonight! Going to a burlesque show and everything! Nothing can cheer someone up faster than a bunch of thick naked women!

BUT I powered through it because I knew he was a good guy and the awkwardness dissipated in around a week or two maybe. We had a decent 6 months until he went back to his wife and I made his life a living hell at work for another 6 months for that.

Last night I got to hang out with a really old friend that I haven't seen since he went to prison! It was like picking up right where we left off, no awkward reacquaintance stuff or anything like that. I missed him a lot more than I realized and I'm glad he's out and has settled down like the rest of us. My old group is starting to come back together, only older and calmer, and I loving love it.

Not today, but yesterday and the day before it. Spent the weekend with my niece and nephew (and sister and brother-in-law, but don't really care much about that). I got to dye eggs and showed them how to make the eggs have swirls and designs on them. Got to watch them search for their Easter Baskets and they both shared some of their Resses Peanut Butter Cups with me. Had a big awesome home cooked dinner with my brother-in-law's side of the family so I finally got to meet a bunch of people my niece and nephew talk about. Came home with pounds of ham, potato salad, chess pie, pasta salad, this weird pistachio and whipped cream dessert, and about a half dozen deviled eggs. Also my manager made me a big bowl of what may be the best collard greens I have ever had in my entire life. This entir week is going to be nothing but eating good left overs.

I just got promoted at work. Came as a total surprise to be honest. My entire commission structure is going to change and my focus is going to be on an entirely different demographic. I'm good with regular people and people that are on their way towards having a ton of money, but I'm nervous about only dealing with multimillionaires. A dude with visible tattoos and a (small) face scar doesn't really scream "banker." But I guess the higher ups think I'm good enough so I took it. Hasn't really hit me yet. I'm gonna have to buy all new suits.

Aesop Poprock posted:My job is massaging higher profile musicians and their crews at one of the biggest and most specialized rehearsal buildings in the world. Earlier today I worked on one of the top musicians in America, and I can't go into too much detail because of the clause obviously but there is a possibility I will end up going on tour with them. Super surreal and I don't think I'm even really processing it or the idea of how it will work at the moment Negotiate a per diem for food. Eating out every night for weeks at a time adds up quickly.

I took a promotion I was worried I wasn't ready for a couple months ago and it just felt like I was getting eaten alive by all the other people that were starting to poach my book of business (not only externally, but internally as well). My upper management basically told me it was sink or swim time and that this is what it was gonna be like in the big leagues. It just really felt like I had made a huge mistake because I was making just barely more than I was, but now I was dealing with tons more stress and way more visibility. This was the first month I finally felt like I had steady ground under my feet and everything started clicking. Today things I'd been working on began closing and I've officially made more in this one month than I did the last three months combined. Next month is looking even better and August is shaping up to be a potential career changer. I still hate my job, but sometimes money does make things better. At least for now.

It's the second day of the month and I've already hit my sales quota. Plus I got a surprise four day weekend today. PLUS, I'm going on a second date/two day trip with a woman I've only known for three hours. It's been a long time since I've rolled the dice like that, so I'm looking forward to either having a good time or having my kidneys stolen. And my buddy from Texas is visiting when I get back. I really need this time off, so it's pretty great.

so I had to tell Mom a bit early that the entire reason I'd been so adamant about saving up a minimum of a thousand dollars before the new year, was so I could give it to her to cover the rent for January.

I made an offer on a condo and it was accepted. Inspection is tomorrow and already going through attorney review. Financing is basically secured since I'm going through my own bank. Set to close June 3rd, but may actually move it up because I don't know if I wanna wait another month to actually get everything done. Gonna feel good to actually own my own place and getting over some of my commitment issues is a pretty big step for me. Feeling pretty good about myself right now!

My salary just got switched over to hourly. I have no idea why they thought this would be good idea, but they did it. I spend about 50 hours a week in the office, so I just got a raise for doing nothing. Granted my salary is stupidly low compared to my commissions each month, but I love the fact that they're gonna start paying me for how long I'm at work each day. I honestly don't know why people think hourly wages are somehow less prestigious than a salary.

One of my homeless clients who has been struggling with MS for years and years finally got approved for housing and treatment today. He's been really struggling a lot recently so this news is loving amazing. I came about as close to crying at my job as I probably ever will when we got to change his address from the shelter to his new apartment.

I finally got to terminate the business relationship with one of my hands down most annoying, entitled, assholish clients. To give you some perspective on just how much of a pain in the rear end this woman was, a financial institution just said "nah, your $11m dollars isn't worth us dealing with you anymore." One of my favorite phone calls I ever got to make. Basically said, "You have until the end of business today to come get your check or the bank is going to over night it to you on Wednesday." I wish I could go into detail about all the poo poo this woman has tried to pull over the years (I've only dealt with her for the last year, but I got stories upon stories of her). I just feel bad for whatever banker thinks they just hit a homerun when she comes walking into their office with a few giant checks. Boor bastard, they don't know what they're in for.

Astrofig posted:Something is finally going right for me.I found out I can withdraw from my 401k (at the company I don't work for anymore) and it will more than cover my debt and allow me to actually save up towards a car and keep paying for my schooling. Also I found out about Stella, the dog who can apparently communicate via recorded answer buttons and it made me so happy. Just remember you're probably gonna be paying taxes/penalties on your withdrawals so account for those as well. Also consider rolling over the remaining into an IRA so you're not paying 401k service fees. Pretty much all the main brokerage houses have free Trad IRA accounts with free trades now.
