SRK Lounge: The Search for Ronin

They should adjust your income tax bracket based on what state you live in. Making 80k in Maryland is not the same as making 80k in Alabama

I can’t abide by the judgement free policy with this fat bitch parking in the fire lane to sign up.

Just make friends with someone who has access to a pool. Problem solved. The heat is over blown anyway, 110 heat in Tucson>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>80+ Humid Heat anywhere on the east. Humidity is 1,000 times worse then just being hot.

Tucson is pretty nice. Lots of hippie white girls that and Lindy’s on 4th.

I’m really not cut out to be anyone’s boss. I just cringed while reprimanding an employee. Welp, guess it’s a good time to get that $15 an hour McDonald’s job.

Is that actually a thing now? I heard that McDonald’s employees don’t actually get 15$ until minimum wage goes up in a year or so.

Not sure but I welcome it. $15 isn’t much lower than what I make on salary. I’d have to cut costs but I think I’d survive. The only thing that would suck is I don’t get the pay bonuses, paid trips to Europe, and an expense account if I go flip burgers.

I don’t enjoy dropping the hammer on subordinates, but I always keep in mind that their actions are putting me in a bad place, that I’m just covering my own butt, and that the pressure is coming from above me. Once it’s done, it’s done. That’s my policy. If I feel I’ve been heard, we can return to civility.

I drop the hammer a lot lately. It’s not even my job to, it’s my boss’s job. I just do it because I’m ordered to.

Come to think of it, I’ve been given a lot of responsibilities at this job I didn’t want. I turned down the sales management position and still do it. I didn’t really want to travel often and I go to every single trade show and event. I wanted more freedom to write copy, and while I have that it’s tied to a lot of marketing shit like AdWords number crunching, lead generating, and press management.

I really need this raise to come soon.

Sounds like you let your boss treat you like a doormat.

Money is a better means of justification than motivation, but it works. I lost about a sixth of my take home pay each week this winter. I worked overtime the past two Sundays and I feel like they’re just going to snatch it away again once I get used to the “additional income.” No one has been forthcoming about why the overtime is back, either.

Work can be pretty God damn terrible as long as home is good. I always say, “I do what I hate so that I may do what I love.” Or, when asked how things are going, “Work sucks; home’s good.”

Just leave the job. You sound like youre in my position, doing more and more with diminishing returns.

I crushed it at the gym today, btw. I’ve still got like 20lbs of surgery/holiday/death-in-the-family weight to lose, but I feel like I’m back to where I was as far as endurance and cardio strength.

Burned 455 calories in 23 minutes. It was taking me upwards of 28, 3 weeks ago.

Vynce, you sexy beast!!!

(catches up on the past three pages that spawned since he went unconscious

still has no idea how today got extra-racial)

Also I just had to double-check that it was Hatred Edge complimenting Vynce. I initially thought it was NickRocks between the Venom avatar and complimenting another man’s musculature. Clearly this bodes well for later on today.

Huh. That sounds like BART’s board, especially as of late where there’s been a problem damaging trains for about the past month and a half and yet they still don’t know what’s causing it. And then they crashed one of the brand-new test-cars on its first test round; thankfully it was unmanned and going only 10 miles per hour and they finally know what caused that–it was a single pinched wire.

I think I might buy a Sphynx cat, those things are pretty dope and I’m usually much more of a dog person

You talkin bout an egyptian hairless?

They take a lot of work. They are a cat with pretty much non of the benefits of having a cat.

There’s no way that’s real. His reaction alone makes me pretty sure it wasn’t real. And if it IS real, then it’s sad that he seems to have given up on life so much that he doesn’t care. It’s probably all just a way to keep his name around.
