I got a fucking speeding ticket for going 36 mph Literally just accelerated. Traffic camera got me. I fucking hate Chicago
Yeah I got hit for 31 in a 25 when I first started at my job because the town our warehouse is in is full of cameras. Branch manager wanted to write me up, logistics guy talked him out of it.
I got one like that once. It was a 25 mph zone. The police sat on the other side of a hill and corralled every car in my line of traffic into a library parking lot and ticketed all of us.
Okay give me a rundown on what all you weenies have been doing for the last year?
Tell me...no let me guess

Found out last night my dad has prostate cancer. I’m pretty tore up about it. My dad is an amazing man that has overcome things that would destroy lesser people. He’s an amazing, loving father that has always risen to the occasion for me, my mom and my siblings. I can’t think of anyone that deserves this less than him
My dad just went through it. They removed his prostate, and he is now cancer free. If they caught it early, its the most manageable cancer there is. He'll have to wear adult diapers and learn how to pee properly again, but at least in my dad's case, it was a relatively quick and low complication procedure to get him cancer free again.
One of the partners at my law firm has been undergoing chemotherapy treatments for his prostate cancer and it’s not going well. That has me (more than) a little worried
Buried my uncle today. He was pretty much the last of my extended family that I had a real relationship with. This one hurts. He was my buddy. But a lot of great memories. He was the one that actually inspired me to be a voice actor. I remember even at like 4-5 years old, I was trying to get on his level lol he could nail pretty much every Looney Tunes character so when I knew we were gonna go see him, even as a toddler, I was practicing my own stupid voices and impressions and stuff. There’s an old home movie somewhere of my Grandpa, god rest his soul, losing his shit and yelling at my uncle to stop being ridiculous and distracting him and he fires right back with a perfect Daffy and says “You’re despicable” before my grandpa starts throwing shit lmao
Last night she was asking me these stupid "do you still like me?" type questions. She wouldnt elaborate, I went to sleep, she started asking them again in the morning.
So I'm like "wtf is up?"
She finally says it's because we dont have sex anymore (We only fuck like maybe once every other month)
I tell her "Its not because I dont find her attractive, its because Im violently depressed and never in the mood"
And then I dump on her about how all day, every day I have head noise telling me that I'm a failure, and a loser, and that I'll never be successful, and I'm constantly letting everyone down, and my parents will never be proud of me, and I'll never have a career, and I've failed all of my hopes and dreams, and I'm just a nothing/nobody of a person. And how I wake up feeling this way, and go to bed feeling this way, every day, and its worse when Im at work because I dont have the small distractions of being at home, and I hate my job, and Im left alone in my own brain when Im setting up rooms.
She says "Its time for you to move on and give up on your hopes and dreams, and get a job that pays you better and can turn into a career"
So Im like "I've been looking, I cant find anything. Im back to looking at warehouses and stuff like Waste Management. I'm going to apply at UPS for their season warehouse", etc
And she's all like "I would hope you want more out of yourself, and to get an actual career and a job with advancement opportunities where you can move up in a company" blah blah
And Im like "I think that ship has sailed. Im 30 years old with no skills, and no transferable experience. Im completely unqualified and incompetent for any work beyond physical labor." I'm like "the only skill I have is stage hand work, but that means nights and weekends, and you dont want me working nights and weekends anymore. So my options are: potentially a career as a stage hand, but working nights and weekends, or taking a pay cut and working a shitty warehouse job, but having nights and weekends open"
Then she goes off on how she wants a family, but doesnt want kids if we cant financially afford them, and if Im going to be working nights and weekends. And says if I dont want kids, we need to have a serious discussion.
To which I say "I want kids, but this is my reality. I have a useless degree, have experience in a dead industry, I have no skills, and am completely unqualified for real work" and then I ask "Should I go back to school? Take on a whole bunch of debt?"
And that spiraled into more arguing, which ended with her leaving the room sniffling to herself.
Go get some therapy or start taking some meds. Probably both. You have some serious issues to work through, and it’s gonna require taking some big boy steps to get through it. Times are tough economically, but you’re gonna have to retrain the way your brain thinks if you’re are just constantly telling yourself you are a failure. Those thoughts prevent you from enjoying or appreciating the things in life you do have. All 2016 mopey McFuck MC wanted was a companion, a gf, someone to care about. If you don’t figure you shit out soon, it sounds like you are gonna lose that soon too.
Sometimes you gotta do hard shit, and break yourself down to nothing before you can rebuild. You have identified the problems, now you gotta go do something about it. You should probably start by banging the old lady and showing her you still care for her and about her. She wants some dick, go give it to her. Make her feel wanted. Otherwise she will end up finding it somewhere else while you are still standing around being mopey and feeling sad. Don’t be a cuck, give her a fuck.
Her clock is ticking. If you don’t baby her up she will find someone that will
Fwiw, every time I’ve had a new kid on the way it’s lit a fire under me to achieve. I’ve always found ways to get better jobs, housing, etc when the stakes are higher. I’m not saying everyone works that way, but it does help to have pressing needs to motivate you
