You could always be an actor and have no real particular job. Just pretend to be someone else your whole life.

I rather be an importer exporter.
YouTube Video Placeholder YouTube Video Placeholder Nikolace said: Also, always order a drink other than water. The phrase "I'll just have some water" when deciphered by the customer to server translator roughly translates to "I'm going to tip you a nickel." I always order water but never drink it. Makes you think. Wait no it doesn't.

The phrase "I'll just have some water" when deciphered by the customer to server translator roughly translates to "I'm going to tip you a nickel." We are diving into the murky depths of the psyche of the average waiter or waitress... not necessarily condemning your choice of beverage. But in your case I would recommend ordering a coke and a water if you want good service.... or mineral water. the point is to NOT give the impression that you are a cheapskate right off the bat. and I tell you his from the careful study of ten million servers over twenty five years of experience ordering in restaurants... other expressions to avoid IF YOU WANT GOOD SERVICE "I'm just going to have" "can we get separate checks" "we're going to share an entree" "can I get a half portion"

Shiva.Nikolce said: » other expressions to avoid IF YOU WANT GOOD SERVICE Which, I think, is silly. Yeah, people stiff you on tips, but you know what? 9 times out of 10 it's because you stiffed them on service. I gave a $1 tip today because the service during lunch was very lousy. I usually give 12+% (generally give more than 12% because I round up to the nearest dollar after the 12%), but this guy was horrid. The only reason why I gave him a buck was because I at least got my food and ate before my lunch hour was over. If he didn't do that, I wouldn't have tipped at all today.

So the call came in, assuming I am out of work between 3-5 on Friday, then that is when I will enter the world of real Internet again /0/

Well this is weird.
My DVD drive ins't showing up at all on my file explorer (win8.1) It's plugged in to power and SATA cable, but nothing (at least that I can see) in device manager says it even exists... Shiva.Nikolce said: » Probably no help at all You're absolutely right Niko, and I willingly or rather inadvertently accepted these godawful conditions in hindsight for the sake of gaining a sense of independence. However, it has been difficult to bend my nature of hospitality and generosity, much to my dismay financially and mentally. If anything when this whole scenario pans out, it will serve as a lesson hard learned. It just pains me to blur the lines between precaution and and selfishness. But all in all, you're correct. I am learning that most people are ***, and I need to accept that and act accordingly instead of pleading ignorance while it drags me to financial ruin. Right now, more than anything, I need to learn what direction to take or what would be the smart move to make.

Return of the CNT virus

Vyrerus said: » Volkkkk become a pornstar!!! as tempting as that sounds... I don't think i would want to do that.

Bismarck.Dracondria said: » Return of the CNT virus You seem to be mistaken sir. It never left. :p But no really this is kinda odd, I'm not sure if it's just a OS thing that's preventing it, or if it's really just not working now, it opens and closes (getting power at least?) but as far as reading it doesn't seem to be doing anything... which means either I broke it somehow, my OS is being lame as crap (it's 8.1 .... what can I expect ...) orrrrrrr I might be missing a driver somehow (but aren't most DVD drives PnP?)

You'll bounce back Arte. Just in the future be aware that when your friends got a chickyboo, he's gonna treat her over you and probably be irrational as all ***. Hope it works out man!

Vyrerus said: » You'll bounce back Arte. Just in the future be aware that when your friends got a chickyboo, he's gonna treat her over you and probably be irrational as all ***. Hope it works out man! She walks all over him. Everything was fine and obligations were always paid in a timely manner before she was introduced. Now she has more or less been leeching on our hospitality for the past 7 months, while my friend's finances have been dwindled down to intolerable ineptitude.

Is she the type of person who thinks just cause she has *** and a vajoo that she can rule everyone? I know it's a shitty situation, I'm sure it will work out in your favour if you explain the whole situation.

If anything when this whole scenario pans out, it will serve as a lesson hard learned. It just pains me to blur the lines between precaution and and selfishness. It's not selfish to keep what you earned when you understand giving it away can't possibly be appreciated by anyone. The whole "teach a man to fish" thing is true. Not only do they only eat for a day when you give them a fish but they expect another fish the next day and the next day and the next day then they get mad at you if you don't give them one the next day rather than appreciate all the times you did give them one... which is why when you cut your friend off, he will get pissed off at you. It's not just your friend or his girlfriend. It's everyone. It's one of those universal truths that would be nice if they weren't true but they are and you have to deal with them. The only way to get out of that scenario is to not ever loan them money in the first place.
