The same house today is $3400 or so. Welcome to 2024. Something in the housing market has come completely unhinged. Boomers bought their homes for 3 fruit roll ups and a blue berry. Worth 3 million today because reasons … and they have multiple properties and ain’t selling …

anyone sub 30 without a deep 6 figure job for a decade is completely priced out

I'd probably be too poor now to get a house. I got another pay cut today. I had a call to go over this 'commission calculator' spreadsheet with one of our sales ops people. I asked her a question, she got confused, sends me a message in Teams later that a multiplier was wrong and they're going to have to reduce pay on my national accounts commission by more than half.



Then I applied for three jobs.

Fucking hell, that's terrible. Probably time to out of there, unfortunately. Good luck with your jerb search.

Dude careful with these … a bunch of people died and or got shit in their lungs from it… Philipps branded ones

We’ve had a bunch of secret cannings…

Had to spend some time on the road this week with my boss as I was in Indianapolis and he lives in Indiana. Nice guy but such a weird vibe. My age or a little younger, had zero feedback on my meetings with partners/dealers even when I asked for it, thinks suburban hellscape malls full of chain restaurants are ‘nice areas’ And only eats meat and potatoes literally.

Glad that is over.

Oooofff thats not good

Im on a second interview at a new gig and may go back to highway commute again. The director of hr put her 2 week notice along with fulltime night auditor and front office manager somehow did not come. Im now in Turkey for a little over a week cause i have sinus issues and put in a doctors note, so i used all my sick days and did my operation in Turkey, reconnected with a few friends due to limited time. Along with my grandparents, aunts, cousins etc. I cannot wait how this new gig unfolds, all i know is im getting a 20-30% increase in my salary. 2nd interview on Monday.

Good luck with the interview.

a buddy of mine who uses one gave me the same warning. His cousin almost died, but it turned out it was because he didn’t clean the machine for like a full year so there was nasty shit growing in there and he was breathing it.

The one they’re sending me is Resmed brand. After he told me that I’ve already looked up the recommended cleaning and disposable parts replacement schedule and will be on top of that shit.

Waking up sweating my ass off all night even with the AC down at 64-65, taking hours to fall asleep, etc. Shit has sucked. Cant wait to get home tonight.

Work travel… bleh. I’m drinking alone at the airport because my flight got delayed.

Getting to see out of town friends is def a cool perk though. I didn’t sync up with Coogs in Indy this time because boss bro was with me.

Next time hopefully

Have you thought about trying a mouth guard instead? That's what I do it's a nice middle ground.

I have, but the sleep study showed my blood oxygen level getting fairly low while I sleep, so this thing pumping oxygen into my lungs all night seems to be the way to go.

First night of sleep was.. meh. While I wasn’t snoring, I could definitely tell something was attached to my face. Will take a bit of getting used to that. I can control the humidity level of the air too, and my nose was a little dry this morning so I’ll bump that up one setting for tonight and see how it helps.

NO. Maybe Green Lip Musdels Food was a 7. Like all of 1st World Oceania, (Hawaii, Australia, NZ)......there is a societal safety net that goes to the grand canyon, Everybody makes $80K-$120K......and people are polite but nobody tries that hard. ALL POSTAL WORKERS should emigrate to NZ/Aus. More money, same state of bliss staring at beige on the ceiling at night.

I'm not saying the Elon Musk sleep under our desk thing is the way to go, but it is quite Orwellian under the surface. Those comments are about the SERVICE. Which involved the preparation. Which was good to very good but no mind blown stuff. The burgers are WRONG. They put all kinds of shit on them including BEETS...........which they call beetroot down there. The idea of a smashburger with onions, pickles, and onion is a foreign thing in Oceania.

The only people who kick ass in Oceania are owner/operators. ZERO EMPLOYEES kick any ass.

Jesus Christ beet burger … I thought the Irish with their blood pudding pizzas were bad.
