Was at a semi mixer/info session and had a good dialog going on with a dude before realizing I didn't know his actual position. Going with a blunt "who are you again" mid convo was not my smartest use of dialog.

Crossing one program off my list

You had multiple better options here.

You don't say.

It's a little story about me putting my foot in my mouth. Dude laughed it off.

Found out today one of the biggest fuckups and dummies from my high school now makes close to $200,000 a year and just closed on a gigantic house, and is getting married to a really pretty girl in the spring. He's 24.

At 24? IIRC i-bank analysts start at around 80-90k out of undergrad. 200k would be more of a post-MBA salary including bonuses. 24 is awfully young to hit that salary on any typical career path.

I know that feeling. When I was 26, the clerk from my favorite video store had just won the Palme d’Or at Cannes while I was messing around teaching English in Japan.

he's just a marketing dude who happened to get a gigantic promotion at a relatively new company. who knows how successful the company is, but this dude was taking molly while in bio class not 8 years ago $:-\$

oh well. I consider myself lucky because I had a job before I even graduated college and it looks as though I have a lot of room to grow there. but I will never make that much money unless I get stock options before we sell :'(

I was at the local game store looking at the PSOne games, and some dude in a Zelda tshirt starts bragging to some other people about how he's got every Nintendo system ever made (INCLUDING THE FAMICOM DISK SYSTEM ZOMG!) and then he starts looking through the NES carts and loudly whistling the Tetris theme. Not even a brief snip of it, but an entire loop.

Earlier today I used guided navigation for the first time in my life and it was the most bewildering thing I've ever had happen while driving I think. Usually when I look at a map or something first I get a feel for where I'm going but I can't remember fucking anything about where I drove today other than it was annoying.

I hit on girls left and right but my dumb ass brother managed to unintentionally cock block me thrice

And last night I was cockblocked by a female friend

But when I go at it alone I tend to be quite and not on a rool like I usually am with my friends and brother, which usually sparks a laugh from whatever cute girl is in the vicinity which is enough for me to get something going.

I suck completely at this now. Whatever worked before doesn't anymore, and what works now comes with bigger obstacles.

Been going back through Always Sunny and I keep thinking 'that guy put his dick into the hand of a 12 yearold girl'. Kind of ruins the ultra-good guy he's trying to be in the show.

I guess the crime of child rape harms more than just the children.

I keep ordering Taco Bell for breakfast.

Waste half of your daily caloric intake on some of the most generic, awful fast food breakfast food y'all.

(Today it was their sausage flatbread melts which despite having NO eggs or hash browns in them still clock in at a ridiculous amount of calories.)

I thought living walking distance from the Bell would be a blessing, but really it was a curse.

In essence have been awake since 2am this morning. After a crazy day at work (thanks again offshore team for reinforcing my opinion of you) my brain is fried and I'm ready for bed. But I can't go to bed yet. It's too early.

Also, this hotel stinks. I've stayed in hundreds of hotels. This one easily is up in the bottom 5. I mean I've stayed in places where I've been afraid for my safety but at least they tried. Here? Not at all.

I'm really lonely, feeling extremely existential, and dysphoric tonight. I'm at a bar watching mnf, and despite trying to hold conversations everyone is in their own world and I just to talk to someone and them act like they give a shit. I doubt myself more and more and I feel like I'm completely alone in this world. Pretty depressing post but I just wish there were someone to hold me sometimes. I do everything by myself. My birthday is in like a day and I'm sure im going to be spending it working, doing something I loathe to someday hopefully do the thing I love. I turn 30 next year and I feel like I have accomplished nothing. I'm so sick of the battles. why does life have to be such a battle?

My Bore buddies deserve better.

I can't really make my triumphs funny (and not just because my triumphs consist only of things like "I didn't kill myself today"), so I don't post them as often as my struggles.

On a forum that's kind of like the Bore in origin / makeup I've posted at for way too long we have separate struggle threads for minor and major struggles, I feel like this alleviates the problem you describe since really the minor struggle thread is a heavy post thread and the major one isn't.
