Yeah monthly checks suuuuuuck. It's fun using credit cards to live on the last week of the month. I guess that's the case for a lot of people but you spread that week out over a few paychecks. I also don't have to worry about saving up for rent or car payments, that all gets paid when I do. It's fun watching your check drop from 3k to about 8 or 9 hundred bucks in a matter of minutes though once you pay all your bills.



Yeah I audit multi-million dollar trust funds and get to tell old, wealthy people that they done messed up.....yet I'm also a peon.



So you're basically contract labor...that's like working for yourself so my opinion of you has been restored somewhat. Now I'm picturing all three of your employees as being old hags with horrible attitudes that get stuff done while your peers all have young hotties out of college.

Did you look into buying a Chik-fil-a yet? From the volume they do, they probably print money.

Monthly checks showed me how to budget lol now I pay all my bills with my first check and my second check is all spending money.

When I worked for countrywide I would handle their multi-billion dollar lender accounts, I made them so much money...and they dropped me like I was nothing :(


Edit: Bionic move to So. Cal and we'll open a beer brewerie and coffee shop

My favorite thing about getting paychecks is watching it go to that bitch ex-wife of mine.

I don't actually have an ex-wife, I just thought that would be fun to say.

Bionic did say that the partners at his lawfirm don't get paid, that money just goes to alimony.

I'm pretty glad I didn't have to worry about alimony or child support or any of that crap with my divorce.

He's a grad student. There likely ain't enough money to manage, lol.

One of my old coworkers at ILM had two internships with us as a PhD student. He got a full-time role a few years ago, he just needed to wrap up his thesis. Fast forward to now, and he still hasn't found the time yet to finish that up, lol. But at least he's getting paid! SF rents are no joke.

My secretary looks like a grandmother. She is not the best one I have had but she is nice and tries hard and it is impossible for me to get mad at her no matter what she screws up. Paralegal is not old but not hot. Usually the hotness for my employees are the file clerks who don't stay long. I honestly don't care if they are hot. As long as they get my work done.

Chick Fil As are probably the best franchises but I don't think I could afford one and they are nearly impossible to get. I bet they only take like super christians who hate gays anyways.

By all accounts, they do screen applicants along such lines. You also need to be a regular church goer.

That's always been one of my biggest fears.

That and being forced to drink non-organic craft cider.

God damn right. And I am in the same position as your old coworker lol. Beginning my Masters thesis this fall, finished course work. I have an internship right now, so I'm making ok money right now (better than grad stipends though!).

The struggle.

Do they accept Catholics? I got enough Catholic cred to easily get one. Though they are Evangelical and sometimes crazy Evangelicals think we are the whore of Babylon etc etc.

Something tells me I'm sure you could bluff your way through the screening process.

"Yeah down with gay marriage, heil Hitler and all that, can I have my franchise now?"

Protip: Marry someone with similar income and live in certain states like Texas where alimony is really hard to get awarded.

I would sincerely doubt they would depending on how strict you are and your perception of Mary and the Pope.

I dunno! Maybe they'll just roll their eyes and mutter, "at least you're not Muslim..."

It's going to be sad when we don't keep Jordy Nelson after this season. He's hitting that magical "30 years old" mark though and I'd rather keep Randall Cobb.

Could I? Of course! Would I? Definitely not. I still have principles. What do you think I am? Some kind of Pats fan?

I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do.

Lease is up at the end of August, but I need to give 60 days notice, otherwise I pay two months out of pocket.

I own a condo in Charlotte that is costing me a fortune and I don't have it rented (and live in another part of town because it did have tenants when I moved back down), so I'd like to sell it, but it's been on the market for six months with not even the hint of an offer.

I live 30 mins from my job by car and I'd rather live walking distance since I'm a single dude.

I figure, sell the condo, and move closer to work, but hmm.

WEEKLY paychecks!? What is this witchcraft! I need this!

My struggle: being an electrical engineering graduate teaching assistant and getting a MONTHLY stipend. Some of those wait times would be a lifetime.

Monthly sucks. I get paid every 2 weeks, it's the tits.

Still need to put some rubber mulch in about a foot wide ring around the outside. Also need to strap down the pad but we have some gravel coming for inside the trampoline so I am actually going to have to take all those springs out later and I didn't want to strap the pad down.

We're going to scalp a fairly large area in our backyard to mulch around the playground and then put in a nice fire pit, which is why I had my brother in law spread that dirt around so wide.

Swap the gravel and rubber mulch locations and watch the comedy ensue.

Hey Dutch, guess what I did last night? Won the Division 1 title in Seasons, that's what! You need 23 points in 10 games. I was 2-1-1 and went on a 6 game win streak to finish with 25 points. One of the biggest gaming accomplishments I've ever had, I'd say. I was so freaking nervous going into that last game.

Also, over half the people I played in Division 1 use Real Madrid, haha. They are too good.

Damn good job man! That's really impressive.
