First World Problems

montegokid94 · 02-28-2015, 07:42 PM

Been going to my barber for 8 years. Today he fucked up my beard badly and now it looks like a small beard/chinstrap.

Needless to say I am very pissed.

Me: Trump Tower

Nc: What is the address?

Me: It's at 57th and 5th.

Nc: Yes, but what is the actual address?

Me: I dunno, 725 Fifth, at 57th.

Nc: How do you spell Fifth?

Me: Foxtrot, India, Foxtrot, Tango, Hotel.

Nc: Trump Tower is a hotel?

Meanwhile, the car is still idling and we haven't left the curb.

Dude... Is this guy not from the area or what? Manhattan isn't that hard. I'm looking at the map and I can memorize it EASY; all the horizontal streets are numbered as # Street, and all the vertical streets are also numbered as # Avenue with exceptions (e.g. Park, Lexington), and I've only been to NYC as a tourist when I was 14, or 15 years ago... You'd lose me on the district names like TriBeCa, LES, etc (I don't even know where half the LA ones are), but drop me off with a blindfold and I'd be able to find my way to a designated Point B. Plus if he's adamant about using GPS, 99% of them can accept intersection entries.

My manager told me what I got for my bonus from last year and I'm pretty stoked....,

I'll probably have to wait until June to see it now.

Quality bacon and wine purchases in your future?

I doubt Billup has ever purchased bacon that wasn't quality stuff. Wine? Maybe.

NEVER skimp on bacon. That's a big no-no. Ever.

Wine varies. I usually buy the ~$13 shit to fill up the wine rack in the kitchen, so then when people say "Oh can I have some?!!?!?!" I don't feel so bad sharing. The nice stuff however, is hidden next to the Playboys and Black Label.

$13 is a lot. I go for the $4 ones.

Yellow Tail and you're done.

Billup · 03-02-2015, 04:25 PM

There's a brand at Kroger called Wood Ridge (sp?) (Not Woodbridge by Modavi) Moscato, that is $2.99 per bottle.

I have about 5 stashed away for ladies.

M_Six · 03-02-2015, 04:54 PM

Tastes like soda pop, no doubt.

UncleWede · 03-02-2015, 06:08 PM

Even Costco Moscato is closer to $7, but the sister-in-laws and nieces all like that bubbly shit.

Not sure Billup has tried bacon from some of the other species available. I have been remiss my own damn self in eating the bison bacon I have.

I don't like to get too extravagant. Just enough to get by. Can't feed the stable fresh cilantro all day, hay is the way.

I've had bison bacon, its fucking incredible. It's not at my disposal out here though. There's only one meat market that's had quality, and even then it's sparing.

Bacon shouldn't be in your disposal. It should be on your stove. Get your appliances straight.

Billup · 03-02-2015, 08:31 PM

I'm the worst kind of consumer.

I had to order it from the buffalo girl

After I ate it, I ran around the neighborhood in nothing but my boxers yelling "I'M THE REAL BUFFALO BILL!"

Literally LOL. Office is looking at me.

My admin surprised me when she got back and said she is going out on maternity leave (she wasn't actually skiing on her vacation, her family was). I was going to ask her to make sure she prepares the insurance cards, but I had to go out of town and now the cards are still sitting in her bin. I plan to ask the temp to do it, but am not certain she will make straight cuts. Not a huge deal, but it does kinda bother me it's been 9 days without insurance cards in my wallet.

You don't make your driver carry the insurance cards????

See, I told you it was a second rate shop. Probably one of those strip-mall storefronts sitting between a Payday Loan and a Beauty Nails salon.
