So the whole case re: the both of you being everything I accuse you of being has been definitively made, by you? Sweet. You tear down the podiums and I'll start sweeping up.

[/ QUOTE ]
So you're willing to sweep? [censored], why didn't you say so? Janitorial work is always in demand.

[/ QUOTE ]

Funny you say this.

I last held a job-type job when I was twenty. I worked a summer in a car wash. As I was washing up my last day, I promised myself that this was going to be the last time I ever had a job description that involved sweeping up floors or taking out trash.

But there's the rub. You tell yourself you've swept your last floor, then they pull you back in.

You put yourself there. Don't blame society or anything or anyone else.

lol, here is part of the problem.

First, who the [censored] says things like "there's the rub". Do you learn every [censored] phrase you know from some stupid ass book? Who talks like this?

Next..."a quarter of a century"??? Dude, you are TWENTY-FIVE, not a "quarter of a century". The faster you learn this, the better off you will be.

And lastly, nobody pulled you back in, you put yourself in this situation with your crap attitude towards something that others consider one of the most important things in their lives...WORKING AND BEING PRODUCTIVE.

Face it, you want the easy way out. You see people successfully sitting in front of their [censored] computers all day raking in good cash with minimal (physical) effort and you envy it.

Sorry dude, LIFE ISN'T THAT EASY. These people didn't flip a [censored] switch and become successful, they started at the bottom and they WORKED towards their goals, something you seemingly have little interest in.

This should be its own thread.

Lots of people's posts are constructive in one way or another. By-Tor, yours isn't.

Uh, lots of people? I've heard others say it, I've used it myself.

Yeah, well, there's the rub. On the list of things that make me happy, working is pretty low. That's why its work. I work because its a reasonable means to a specific end, not because I think work itself is important. I imagine 'cardo also feels that "WORKING AND BEING PRODUCTIVE" are not all that great in and of themselves.

Well, yeah, who doesn't? Of course there's a certain satisfaction in working hard and achieving something you were really striving for, but if you told a person, "You can work hard for the next 20 years and then retire with $X, or you can just have the money now," then who the [censored] is going to work? We all want the easy way out, because, again, work is a means to an end, and any intrinsic value it has is usually way overshadowed by the cost of that work.

Did you even read his posts? He doesn't want to be successful, he wants to pay his bills. He flat-out stated that he doesn't care about having lots of money, that he would rather have less money and more leisure. He sure as hell isn't interested in working his way from "the bottom" and climbing the corporate ladder.

I'm pretty sure that 'Cardo has gleaned just about all the usefulness he can out of this thread, but it would be nice to keep replies that are completely off-base out of it.

Cardo...Run....Enjoy your cardboard box under the freeway together.

[MegaloMialo]

This is going nowhere.

regarding tutoring: i agree with whoever said who would want this guy around your children. i certainly wouldn't. in addition i get the impression that anacardo lacks the necessary intelligence and skillset to teach anyone proficiently, much less kids.

This thread makes me ill to read. No matter what you think of someone there has to be a point where you get tired of berating someone and saying the same thing over and over. I understand that the humans natural tendency is the gang mentality, it is always evident in any trainwreck on 2p2 but there are some very bright people in this thread acting like complete fools. Are some of you really this invested in Cardo's life? And please don't act like you care, you can pretend all you want but all many of you are wanting is to join in on the 2p2 poster gang bang of the week. Maybe some of you are actually so caught up in this that you have to post over and over in this thread and reply to seemingly everything--if that's the case then that is pretty sad too. This thread called for advice, you give it and that's it. I am convinced that more people are happier that Cardo hasn't been accepting to all of the advice given, it gives the chance for a trainwreck, a chance for the piranhas to come out.

Nice post, and I agree. I've certainly been guilty of this before.

I think a lot of people are both offering good advice and enjoying needling anacardo. It is the internet, after all.
