Did my mandated HR "first interview" in which we mostly talked about how expensive it is to live in NYC and how her friend moved to Pittsburg and bought a house and told her "you could put four houses on this lot it's crazy" but hey what are ya gonna do I love New York even though I did move to Long Island where at least they have grass, not like it is in Queens where I grew up........
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
Lunch or dinner on base in the mess hall are $4.60 a person. They used to let contractors take advantage, but some of the soldiers complained, so they stopped. But to be fair the contractors were going a bit overboard.
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

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

Are you going to become and even bigger big city dandy Spool?
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
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

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

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

I have mountains and seasons and I'm pretty happy.

Our coffee was real! It was just really old and lower than consumer grade.
