  • They worked for a software company that made banking software. But yeah, he had 7 different bosses that would complain about the same thing. What we never found out was if he was dotted-line to multiple depts, or if the bureaucracy was so heavy that the structure was something like Team Leader > Manager > Director > Asst VP > VP > Division VP…and these people all come to him to point something out.





  • Most of the people I’ve ever encountered who were hardcore DEI=Didint Earn It

    …either got their job at a family-run business, via friends who gifted them a job they were under qualified for, or legitimately banged their way in and up.

    It’s like when NIL was established for college football, and the $EC started bitching about schools “buying” their rosters… despite it being an open, poorly kept secret their boosters have been buying players for them for decades





  • In the south, trucks like that are practically a status symbol. Lift kit, knotted tires (bald within a year because they only drive it on paved roads), expensive ass brush guard with a winch that’s never been used, spray in bedliner with big diamond plate bed box, pristine multi-trailer hitch, Yeti/Browning/fjb/FAFO/tbl/wE tHe PeOpLe decal on the window along with whatever big football college they never went to…

So I’m at the mall a week later and I run into him and he’s buying another cat. I says to him “Jesus, Walt what are you doing? You know you’re just gonna get this cat stuck in your ass too, why don’t you knock it off!”. And says to me “Brodie, how the hell else am I supposed to get the gerbil out?”

    My Cousin was a weird guy.




  • The only channel I got into during lockdown was CrackingTheCryptic…2 of the best sudoku solvers from the UK just solve sudokus. Simon is hilarious in how he gets so tickled when he figures something out.

    The only podcast I actually listened to was the Always Sunny podcast, but that was when I bought a house and had to repaint a lot of rooms/ceilings. So I had hours upon hours of time to fill
