can i have your money then?

I worked at BK for 3 years and it was not demanding at all. Granted, it was an extremely slow restaurant and I was manager so I could sit around for long periods of time reading the paper and what have you. It definitely sucks during peak times, but the 55 hr weeks will be the hardest part of bet, still easily doable imo.

Re: Official McDonalds PropBet Thread for AlReturnslol

i worked a fast food job when i was 15-17 and honestly it wasn't bad at all, for the most part it was easy. the stigma of being an adult working at one is way worse than the job itself though.

if al does this we need some side bets on whether he makes shift leader/asst mgr/mgr within the year, i would take some action on him getting a promotion of some sort

Re: Official McDonalds PropBet Thread for AlReturnslol

The cool thing about working at Mcdonalds is you can come in drunk/stoned and its completely normal. I used to sell weed to all my Coworkers and managers. Then the last week your there u can ****in rob the safe and frame it like the manager did it.(I didnt do that but fantasized about it)

I just don't get a feeling of significance from poker anymore. I really need to start pushing myself again. There is nothing better for me than just diving head first into this cold pool. I have been in this odd internet niche for too long, its made me lose sight of whats important. I am sick of it, this isn't who I intended to be when I played poker for pennies a few years ago.
start playing live poker.

-play 40 hrs/wk and treat it like a job so youre life is more structured
-meet new ppl at the casino
-go golfing with all the whales on your days off so they enjoy losing money to you
-make more than 40/hr
-enjoy life
-profit
-send me 10% of your winnings for the great advice
