Set her dog on fire. If she doesn’t have a dog, get her one, and wait for her to love it. Then set it on fire. Kidding…I like animals more than most people. Set _her_ on fire. Or, better yet, since you’ve got the time off…hang out at that McD’s or wherever they do their thang. Get some pics of them together (the nastier, the better) and send them to those involved AND the spouses at the same time, with an explanation of why they didn’t get the chance to “pay you off.” ---

Finance jobs in the area that require little to no experience are not too plentiful in this area. So I took a job right out of school in financial sales…b/c they will hire anyone and if you like/make it you can make an insane amount of money. Then I found out I didnt want to be cheesy/lying guy. Then I got into Mortgages, b/c I was interested in them and I knew the job I was taking was a work there for a year or so and take the experience job with type of job…which I did. Now I am at a decent company with a decent job as a financial analyst…and I know there is a decent opportunity…but I am getting dicked around now and am pissed. ---
