lol JT dissing Kanye on SNL. ""Hit so sick got rappers acting dramatic"

God dammit Pop GAF is so one dimensional, as are many young-ish music fans today I swear. This hate on Suit & Tie can't stand, man. I'm not saying it's a great song or anything but jesus christ these kids are butthurt simply because it's not another generic unce-unce-unce-unce house beat. That song is some old school shit, like Off The Wall type shit.

S&T is one case where "old school" is not a compliment. It sounds like the blandest of Timbo tracks from 1996. It's boring as fuck, it's awful. It's not the way JT shoulda came back at all and to say we wanted "generic unce unce" from him is stupid. Chris Brown is the only real R&B guy pushing euro dance shit hard right now. Everyone else is either in their own lane, or still trying to nail their sound down and find a hit.

What does GAF HOP do for a living?

I do gas and electric troubleshooting for the local utility company. Don't have to interact with any coworkers. Drive to the yard, get in my work truck with a list of jobs, crank up the tunes and drive around smoking newports and drink mocha frappes from McDonalds all day. No one bothers me. It's fucking amazing.

I make cocaine. It don't take but 8 minutes to make a whole thing. Easy money.

Naw I'm actually graduating in May so my job is to find a job right now. My degree's in public relations...but somehow I don't think I'll be going that route.

 

[cdyhybrid]

I work for a start up in a suburb of Seattle. Mostly work on the website but I dabble in a little bit of everything.

Doesn't sound anything like old Timbo to me...

Also I'm not saying everyone wanted a generic dance track, I'm talking moreso about these kids I see bitching about the track as if it's the worst thing ever.

I'm just a college student looking for some of that part time dosh

 

[kamspy]

I'm a second year EE student.

As an EE myself, BAIL OUT.

Job market in my area is crap. There are enough EE's out of work who are happy to take entry level pay right now. It was a nightmare finding a job in my field without professional experience.

It's fun though. Nothing wakes you up like trying to reattach the neutral wire in a 3 phase 480 volt meter socket only to notices you're not wearing your electrical gloves. Literally, hand was about an inch away.

I've been bit with 240v a few times, and it's not fun. You can feel it all the way to the core of your teeth. 480v is usually death though.

 

[kamspy]

Anyone in the Cincy area need a job PM me.

We're looking for workers like crazy. High School diploma and no DUI's get's you in. And a short paragraph about the unnoticed brilliance of Attention Deficit.

For real though, we need installers. No experience required for this position.

Operations Intelligence in the Air Force. I'm trying to finish my degree so I can hopefully go to OTS.

If I had it to do over, I would have joined the chair force out of high school. All my friends who went in are living it up.

Air conditioning, a seat and military benefits? Man. Roll with that.

I've got two years to decide if I want to dry out and go to the Navy. Air Force doesn't take wise men my age, and the Army wouldn't really be my thing.


EDIT:

Regarding the meter thing, it happens to every guy I work with one time. But it never happens twice. Once you get a scare the safety gear get's literally tattooed in your conscious. You see dozens of them a day. It become so routine you forget the have the power of holy mother of fuck in them. It's a cool job though. I've reached the ending of Office Space. "Fucking A". Just dropped $200 on some Under Armor ballistic grade safety rated sunglasses. No more swapping my shade for busted ass clear safety glasses every 15 minutes. Quality of life +1. I think I sold 6 pairs at the shop today showing them off. If any Under Armor shills are reading this, you owe me an extra pair of shades.

 

[//B1G]

The air force was alright, I was in for a couple years till I got kicked out. I had a wrench turning job which blew, but yeah if you can get in an office you're set.
Most the dudes that have rank on you are wack as fuck though, growed up nerds that got picked on in school, so now they feel the need to act like hard asses all the time even though they're pussies. Or at least that was my experience.

Part of me wanted to do Navy. But I don't regret my choice. I won't lie, those things you listed are why I chose AF over the other branches. I'm already getting jokes from my family because I have older brothers in the Army and the Navy. A couple friends in the Marines too. And it doesn't help that my dad is an officer cracking jokes all the time. It's all in good fun of course. I love my job and the people that are in it. They're my second family.

Oh man I've heard too many stories on this bruh. People getting brolic because rank. I feel it bruh.

 

[kamspy]

I've worked in damn every type of environment (non military) there is.

Working solo in a truck full of tools is easily the lowest stress.

I've got parks or places to park with scenic views programmed in my GPS, take lunch when I want and where I want. Nothing beats laying on a grassy hill for an hour, eating Chipotle, messing with my phone and having a dope view. I got this one spot, fucking golf course quality grass, overlooks downtown Cincy, Great American Ballpark, Paul Brown Stadium and the bridges to KY. Most relaxing lunch our you can get without dragging your GF out to give you dome shots in the work truck.

 

[DominoKid]

I was actually considering the military if nothing else worked out. Mom (and her father too, but he died before i was born) was Navy, but she always said if I went down that road that Air Force is the way to go.

Fuck those jokes. You're doing a job that needs doing and have the smarts to not get in front of AK47 barrels and IEDs. I lost a few peeps in Iraq. Really wish they would have swallowed whatever pride that made them sign up for infantry. All three had the intelligence to serve in a non combat role. The guys who wanna fight are great. Fucking heros 99.9999% of the time. But the whole "if you join the service and don't sign up to shoot people, you're a pussy" meme is terrible and takes lives. I know people who sign up for infantry shit just because of that sentiment.

I can high-key relate to this post. One too many times have I had friends say they joined for that reason. I remember overhearing a Marine recruiter scolding teenagers for having that mindset. "Nobody in their right mind wants to see war. You're the type of the people that won't see your family again."

Some harsh *shit like that. Lol. I dig the sentiment bruh. Appreciate it.

Big is a crate digger and a Memphis lover just like me, that's when I realized I couldnt longer hate the dude whatsoever.

[overcast]

I go to a community college and work as a host at a restaurant. Not living it up really.

 

[siddx]

Kinda doubt any of you guys know how to do manual labor, but figured I'd might as well ask.

My old DeWalt kicked the shitter and I'm looking at getting a Makita or Milwaukee impact driver. Heard Milwaukee batteries went down the shitter, but you can never tell which reviews are shills. Always heard great things about Makita, but have owned and love some older Milwaukee stuff.

Also, Des, you catching DB in Cleveland? Might need someone to roll with.

We have a old DeWalt at the home back in the US at I thought it was an unreliable piece of shit. Ive been wanting to replace it for years now and iirc, my friends who do a variety of manual labor jobs all recommended the Makita.



Also, as for employment, I worked a bunch of random jobs from bouncer to waiter to tour guide to lab technician to financial consultant (more or less) and beyond. And now I'm a 4th grade teacher at an international school. I make only so so money, but I save more than people making twice as much since the cost of living here is so low. Plus I get to see the world, travel all over, and get the summer off.

I go to a community college and work as a host at a restaurant. Not living it up really.

My dream job is starting up my own "restaurant" and/or be under a chef's wing and properly learn the trade. I do enjoy my major but it's mainly a back-up plan.

I don't think I've ever had a greater feeling of adrenaline while cooking with one other cook on a busy ass dinner night with a big reservation of 30 on top of the rest of the restaurant with the open menu. You don't have time to think. You just do. Multitasking a ridiculous amount of things, making sure shit doesn't get burnt, coursing out the salads/soups, and when desserts start to become a factor? :whew:

And this same day, worked from 6 in the morning till about 10:30 at night.

And when all is said and done, go home and drink an ice cold beverage.

If you love the chick do what you gotta do to live without regrets. That way even if shit doesn't work out, you can tell yourself you put in everything you had. I been through shit loads of long relationship break ups. It always hurts way more if you feel like you didn't give it your all.

either way. i just wanna get over it and move on. and no new vag hasn't helped these days but at some point i gotta deal with it and move on.

ask her if shes tryna get the pipe

Im in my last year of college doing business management and work part time in an off licence (Liquor store)

College is cool because its free here if you live in a bad area or whatever, the government actually pays me to go to college.

Off licence is great too, got all the girls comin in on the weekends to buy their drink, they be all hyped to go out and shit so they mad flirty and dressed up. Actually ended up banging two customers when we met up with them in the city after work so I cant complain about shit.
