Decided to go for the civvy job. I figured the short term money would be much better. Kinda sad about ditching the other option though. Would have probably enjoyed it more. Damn shame they don't pay so well.

Wait what, you got a job? CONGRATS!!

And screw the army man - taking orders from retards isn't the way to go. Just grab that cash and run.

What will you be doing? When do you start?

Ugh, fucking work commute. Was sleeping in the train to work while some crazy motherfucker who I suppose forgot to take his pills (he looked normal enough, not your typical crazy hobo, just acted crazy) came into my cart talking really fast, at this insane pitch, into his phone, all the while walking along through the cart. When he came at the end he got off the phone and started yelling "Sieg Heil" for no apparent reason, followed by some maniacal laughter. Then he went on to the next cart. I heard him scream sieg heil 2 or 3 times more when the train halted at the next station, I presume he'd gotten off there.

Seriously though...I don't like crazies. I already get red in front of my eyes when people are talking on their phone for 5+ mins or having annoying or loud conversations on a train, let alone a complete nutcase like that bothering me. I sometimes wonder why I even bother bringing a book cause I can't read when i'm annoyed. Maybe to beat someone to death with it one day.

P.S. before Satis tells me to get a car: driving up and down from the centre of Antwerp to the centre of Brussels every morning is not really a good idea.

Nah, I wouldn't have recommended a car. If we had public transportation that worked, I'd probably use it too. How about some noise-cancelling headphones? Or wear a t-shirt in the morning that says "I kill motherfuckers" in big red letters.

My stare usually says enough, only it doesn't work on cats who're actually crazy. And yeah, good point on the headphones. I've been meaning to get some of those...that or just a good MP3 player so I can listen to music instead. Meh. Damn socially unadjusted train talkers.

You don't have an mp3 player? Seriously? Jeez man, go buy a cheap $30 one... hell, my phone can play MP3s. I swear, I think I'm used to how backwards you are and then you drop another bomb.

Hahaha...well I tend to gravitate between nerd and incredibly cheap bastard (you have no idea) so I don't really have that many gadgets.

I used to have an MP3 player but it got lost moving. You're probably right that I should get a new one, I got gift certificates of 25 and 10 € for an electronics store anyway.

Are you sure it wasn't one of those Trigger Happy/Tragger Hippy/... things Ox? It sounds like it from your description, but i guess there are enough weirdos around that could do the same shit.

I bought my wife a mp3 player a few years back, which she hardly uses atm, but don't have one myself. I'm not exactly a gadget guy either.
