I'm the youngest guy in an office full of divorcees. You do the math.

Depends on where you work. I got really drunk with my last boss and puked everywhere because after already taking about 4-5 shots before he got there I guess he had me take 6 more with him and I don't even remember that. I just remember puking and then Ashley giving me a ride home and she wanted to walk me into my house and I firmly yet politely let her know I could do it myself because I didn't want her to date rape me.

If I lose my job I'll be a 56-57 year old dude trying to find work at a salary I worked the past 35 years to get to. (ain't going to happen)

Our retirement funds have gone to **** cause I keep leeching from them every month just to pay the bills and we're probably going to lose our home.

Don't be a dick.

I'm just busting your balls, man.
I know this is some serious **** and I hope it will work out for you.
Not that all this court case stuff doesn't sound pretty boring to an outsider...

The job I drank with my boss was Geek Squad. Ghetto though. Like, the girls there typically looked like they were looking for love in the discount section of Walmart. I'm not hating though, because I could pretend to shop at Walmart for a day.

The job where I harassed co-workers and customers was a professional culinary utensil sanitizer at Ebay. The people that worked at Ebay were our customers.

I still have phone numbers from old co-workers.
