So, out drinking with friends last night. They had a few more than I did and it had been a long time since I'd seen them so they had a lot of questions about my situation and a lot of sympathies.
Later on at the end of the night, one of them says "Adam, if I wasn't married, I'd fuck you so hard."
*success kid*

Finally, after 5 solid months of searching, I finally have a job. I don't really know what it is yet, I just know that I report directly to the owner of the company as a Special Projects person, making $50k a year. Things were getting desperate - like 3 days from living on the street desperate - but now my wife and I can catch our breath and get back to eating food on a regular basis and paying bills before services are shut off.
I hate you so much...*

The only thing I can pass down is manliness and regret. My wife gets the rest.
So the forum then?
We're manly?
We're the regret.
I was focusing more on the 'regret' portion. But sure, why not, the forum is mostly a sausage-fest.
You don't have some of your life insurance set aside to cover that? I thought you cared!
oh I loved it, I split it with my mother as she wanted to see what all the fuss was about, its apparently quebec style, which I have no idea what the differences are. She thought it was gross, I thought it was pretty killer, although having gone to school in wisconsin I prefer fried cheese curds.
Going to Atlanta on Monday, to see a friend who desperately needs the company. Time for a 14 hour bus trip.
Then you should remedy that!
Congratulations!
Also, was it "Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line!"? (I would never want to accuse you of making the most obvious choice.)
No, but that would have been a good choice, haha. The last line of my vow is, "And I promise to have, to hold and to love, not 'til death do us part, but beyond. Because death cannot stop true love: all it can do is delay it for a while."
My parents just bought themselves a new car and are loaning me the old family car for 6 months, which will give me to the beginning of Spring semester to find a part time job and look for a used car to buy for myself. In the mean time, it looks like my financial aid is clear and should be deposited into my account at some point next week.
Waited 3 hours in line to eat a restaurant.
Why is this an epic win?
Because it was for Franklin's BBQ (my second visit ever).

Literally named multiple times over, the best BBQ in the country. With good reason.
Holy hell it makes every minute of the 3hr wait worth it. Though this time I was smart and arrived at 8:30am and waited in the shade the whole time vs the first time I showed up at 10 and waited 3hrs in blazing heat.

Because that's how long the line is outside. They open at 11am and close when they sell out.
If you don't show up before 9:30am, you won't get food. They take the order for everyone waiting in line, check their inventory for the day, then figure out when they'll run out and hand a person in line, a -Last One Standing- sign, stating that this is the last person they can guarantee will get food if they wait. So basically if you're behind this person, you could end up waiting the 3hrs and get nothing.
It's basically an Austin tradition to eat there at least once, but many, like myself keep going back. The BBQ is just too good. It's won nearly every award they've entered, been featured in tons of magazines and articles. They've multiple times been called the best BBQ in the country by food critics etc. They're right too.
I actually agree that this is the reason he hasn't created a larger restaurant/more supply.
Yep.
And this is why despite it all, I do it. The food, is Nationally known for a reason and it definitely isn't for the wait gimmick. One only needs browse the yelp reviews to hear of people traveling from all over the country to partake. I personally met someone in line who flew in from LA, waited in line, stayed the day and then flew back and Franklin's BBQ was one of the biggest things on their list of must haves.
