You’re going to have to explain why the 1/8 is the big gay

Because it's not 8/8

I was expressing my annoyance with the fact that the total tax you get snagged, you only receive a small portion of the total on your tax return.

I did a rough estimate, but I want to say I get about 1k back on mine, albeit roughly 8k or so is taken for taxes.

Oh forgive me I thought you were talking about the twist

Nope 😛

Hopefully I snag one of these jobs after these good interviews I had.

Need more moolah.

I could take more hours but I’m enjoying being in a spot in life we’re I can more than get by on 32 a week

I don't blame you.

I could really dig a 3rd day on my weekend.

However there’s always the inner guilt that that’s an unreasonable decision

My department attempted to get 4 - 10 hour days approved but that got shot down because my Managers execution was retarded, and he tried waiting until the last second/slipping it under the radar.

Honestly, it just depends on how bad your job is and if working 40 would drive you absolutely mad.

It probably would not. I’ve worked retail the last five years and apparently have a high tolerance for bullshit

What I absolutely wouldn’t do is work my way up the ranks at my current job. That is not worth the headache

I remember when I was working retail, and I enjoyed working like 2 days, 1 day off, 3 days, 2 days off. That kinda thing. It was nice having a brief break in the middle of all the bullshit. But really it was just monotonous and low pay.

Then it took me 9-months of applying to get my first IT job.

Also, that's the same with my best friend. He could make Supe/Manager of his department if he could work full time but he's attending college.

So it'll only be a last resort option. He would rather start his career after graduating.

At least he’s got a goal in mind

It sucks feeling like a tool with an unknown purpose.

Oh well, that ultimately seems like first world problems on the end.

Mhm, that's precisely why I was getting as pissed off as I was working retail. It was only partially better than anywhere else because who/where I worked was more like home than a strange place.

Do you have any trade skills you want to learn?

None that I can think of off the bat. I was originally going to college for x-ray tech before I realized I didn’t have any passion or drive to finish. That and the realization that applicants to the program had less than a 50% chance of getting in on it.

StoneToss is great.

Also, RIP.

I assume at this point you'll just have to try new things as hobbies and roll with what you like the most.

I always recommend IT if you want good pay 😄

Get a good trade job you’ll never look for work a day in your life. It comes to you so I’ve heard

Honestly, low end IT work tends to suck balls for most people until you gain more skills, and work on larger projects.

But it's better pay so at least you don't usually have to stress over bills.

Gotta look on the bright side 😬

Looking to turn your hobby into a career sounds like terrible advice to me sometimes.

There’s always the risk that when you do that you lose any passion you had towards that hobby to begin with

@Nutz It depends on the person, honestly.

I know in the case of my Uncle he has certain hobbies he loves, but would be annoyed if he turned it into a career.
