What The?

|

Oh the humanity. Dude's GF left him and he can't figger which juice to buy. And her half of the $600 rent is coming up and he may not be able to come up with the money. What! $300? Really? $300!

That's a weekend job. Yes, you'll have to sacrifice a bit. But it's infinitely doable.

Here's a tip. Deliver pizzas a couple nights a week. You'll earn $75 in two nights easy. Two nights a week, 4 weeks a month, well you get the math.

I read that post and I felt like crotchety old man (back in my day, sonny...) but given I'm not even close, it must just be life experience that makes me laugh.

Summers spent on campus, working 50 hours during the week at a t-shirt manufacturer for the overtime, working 30 hours a week at night at a liquor store and sharing a 3 bedroom house with three guys to save on the rent. And putting money in the bank to support myself during the upcoming school year. Sunday was my only true day off. Yeah, my social life was brilliant at that point of my life. But guess what? I did it. And today, if the shite hit the proverbial fan, I would do it again. That damn work ethic thing.
