    It may come as a surprise but the food served to US Navy sailors at sea is awful.

    anyhow it went well and then I talked to my supposed new boss about applications and who's struggling on the team I'm inheriting.

    Still nothing on paper though, COME ON GIVE ME OFFER LETTER

    wait, the soldiers pay?

    those 7 dollars were just what the army's budget was, our only job was to eat, and preferably not waste any

    Oh camp counselor, no question

    Scruffy looking, probably stoned dude with a deep tan and easy athleticism. Probably wears hemp bracelets and takes his shirt off a lot. Friendly in a jocular, broey way, calls me bro or dude

    13 year old me is already having a lot of complicated feelings

    No way, college professor, not the scruffy physics professor who wears sandals with socks, but more the type of english professor who wears a blazer and jeans and is working on a novel about a professor cheating on his wife with a coed

    I'm probably not! We're gonna go back to TX for a couple months at minimum, help my MiL wrap up affairs (her father just passed and there's a buncha complex financial and property-related stuff to navigate), then see what's up. Leaving at some point shortly after though, TX remains too hot to actually live and we want mountains and seasons.

    cred you always live up to your aesthetic and that's what I appreciate about you

    life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
    fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
    that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze

    we're having a seder tomorrow and the seder plate I ordered is not here

    it's coming from israel so our assumption is it is stuck in the suez canal

    I'm just going to put some ritual foods on a normal plate I guess; not the worst

    then again, they have a big office in Woodbury or something like that? Might end up needing to move to NYC, it's unclear at this point.

    there was, and absolutely still is, a persistent tale in the army that the coffee was secretely decaf, because the army is not allowed to give us addicting substances

    which was a conversation I had many, many times over breakfast, and I usually went no, we're feeling like this because the coffee can only do so much. Have you tried not having any? You'll collapse in seconds.

    well I can see why that would appeal to you but I basically grew up with camp counselors since my oldest brother would have his super hot, friendly crunchy granola friends over all the time

    they're indelibly stamped on my psyche

    No, they get a stipend, which they can choose to spend on the chow hall.
