i'm clearly worried, because my buddy on xbox live back in december told me "theres no way trump gets the nomination, hes just doing it for PR"

work always

Work, work

Anyone know how to convince a drug addict that they are hurting clearly only themselves but their family and friends and help them decide to volluntarily seek help/quit?

any related tips, stories, or advice would be genuinely appreciated from the bottom of my heart

childhood neighbor who was also a college roommate was using the big H for years. there is usually nothing you can do for a variety of reasons imo. he ended up in jail a few times, in a few states, stole from friends who took him in etc. i dont know what actually got my buddy clean (he was clean last i heard, though its been a few years), but he eventually bottomed out and helped himself. clearly much anyone did for him ever helped as i understand it.

i think its the bottoming out that is different for everyone though, and why there is always hope that someone will be able to admit they need help before ruining everything decent in their life, that they hate themselves before they kill themselves.

made an offer on a house
housing market out here is fucking stupid. looking for a very standard starter house, 3 bed, 1.5-2 bath starter house. 1200-1500 sq ft house. houses clearly needing immediate work sell in under 48 hours above asking price. the longer i wait the higher the same houses are costing.
made an offer on a very clean house just needing a modern touch. offered 2% over asking price.

we shalst see.

hungover

extremely

pics, links?

if it works out ill poop, otherwise its just another house

sounds like i have to up my offer a bit. im thinking of going another 2% but working in some closing costs on their end.

had a date with a 8/10 teacher yesterday, i honestly have no fucking clue why this girl would ever go on a date with me... but she actually asked ME OUT?! . i met her at the bar last saturday. she lives two blocks away from me so its pretty convenient

my first, first date in two years.

went well i think.

i rent a house in the next "up and coming" area of buffalo, housing prices have gone up almost 50% in the past 5 years.

my room mate wants to buy a house around here but he is finding the same issue joe, prices are going up week by week

made counter offer, accepted
documents signed by both parties
clearly officially on the hook yet but its underway

and gary said it would never happen!

oh snap

co-worker confirmed quitting. giving notice soon

she got out before me, that lucky fuck. it's only fair though, if I went before her she would be completely unable to handle things and either have a breakdown or quit on the spot

3 weeks in a row, how did chicago score that

whats the story with your current job? why is it so bad?

the grand dc meet up was 4 years ago today according to facebook

insane hours
zero (ZERO) respect, thanks, or gratitude
direct insults from superiors
physically assaulted on the job
consistently rude, terse emails
repeatedly blamed for my superior's mistakes when they know full well its their own fault
no inter-office sociability
paid same as co-worker (one who is quitting) while I do 1.5-2x the work
direct request for feedback and sit-down meeting ignored

it mostly boils down to constant negativity
it's a very small firm and a large portion of the employees (incl. bosses) are family

sounds shitty, move on. plenty of places to work that are clearly a terrible experience. just leave on good terms, you dont want a line on your resume that you cant count on a decent reference. imo

she gave notice
albeit clearly without my active encouragement (she had her mind made up, but she was very anxious and was working it up to a way bigger deal than it should be)
everyone knows friday afternoon is the best time to give notice ... plus, since i want to leave soon too, any delay on her part puts me in a worse position

i've had a few rounds of interviews with a different firm, and I'm told a final decision will be made next week
also pursuing a local government position

fell asleep on the couch with a candle burning
bad salmon

seller paying an additional 750 in closing costs for minor repairs that she cant afford
