    I got laid off a couple weeks ago, and today's my official last day.

    I telecommute 99% of the time though.

    So you’re just on your way there? Do you have a 4 hr ride back?

    Actually it's only 2 hours each way. I combined both directions into one trip for duration estimates.

    Although I might just meet up with the homies while I'm in town. I have a bunch of friend who live out this way that I never see anymore.

    You may as well take a break before your ride back.

    Yeah I'm leaning more and more towards that angle. I have to be careful though because the buses between my current home and here are infrequent and stop running early.

    See this is what I’m talking about. She did not say one word to you, but you can’t resist taking jabs at people. You’re just mean. Nothing more.

    Wtf? You aren’t making sense as usual. Don’t bother. I’m not playing your fight game, it’s all you know. You must be a miserable MFer.

    Sorry Gadz.

    I believe he’s a self contractor. He takes the jobs he wants. They seek him out. Did your job find you at motel 6?

    I got a month of severance pay. It's hardly a case of "getting fired". The CTO himself just emailed me and offered to be a work reference for me.

    Not every case of leaving a company is the worst case scenario. I have a whole month of paid time off to find new employment.

    Originally posted by gadzooks I'm currently about 20% of the way through 4+ hour commute. I get bored during such excursions so grabbed a bottle of gin and a bottle of orange juice - poured the gin into the OJ - and am sippin that shit on the bus, and nobody's the wiser.

    They just think I'm some really thirsty, calcium deficient dude.

    Anyone else drink on public transit or greyhound-style bus trips?

    Absolutely

    Gin & Ginger Ale helps pass the time and definitely makes the other commuters more interesting

    Holy fuck I've been out in the city for less than an hour and already I just wanna go back home.

    Wtf? I guess I'm relegated to the rural life now.

    I used to live out this way, but it's so busy, complicated, and full of hipsters and the like.

    No. And I'm not gonna. I hate the city now.

    It's just an absolutely irredeemable cluster fuck.

    I don't get why so many people are out here...? It's like next level dumb.

    Heck, now I want to move even farther out. I'll build a cabin out in the woods or something.

    These people can keep their sardine-packed transit rides and their hipster shit and $20 lunches and $5 coffees and ALL of it
