Maybe its the job that these people are attracted to and consider changing.
When i was younger and running restaurant kitchens, my staff were basically pirates. Drugs, theft, jail, fights... you name it.
I changed into a white collar profession and there's much less of that stuff. Now its mostly egos, greed and affairs lol

Sorry you're not smart enough to use your brain to make a livin'
I’m more sorry that I threw my dreams and talents on the dust heap and instead took what I could get to get along and provide for my family however I could.
Although it’s led me to some interesting places and introduced me to interesting people and given me some interesting perspectives...so I suppose there’s a silver lining and all that.
There’s a dirty, gritty honesty to it though. And at least I don’t have to deal with sensitivity seminars

I dont work there anymore, and yeah I'm sure it was that. Minimal supervision and decent money plus they could get away from their SO and drink all the time.

One thing you learn to appreciate is good water. In Baton Rouge, for all its faults, the water is amazing.
You don’t know how true this is until you’ve had really bad water. Like makes New Orleans water look tasty bad.
Worst tasting water I have ever had was in Leominster MA, I couldn't even brush my teeth with it.

As far as city water goes, Sandy Springs, GA is the best.
Charleston and Savannah both have amazing tap water, never notice Sandy Springs being anything special.

Strip club was adjacent to a hotel in Boston. Bad idea to keep the crew there. The fun eneded when all the guys had almost exactly the same story but the difference was everyone fricked the tranny but the person telling the story.

Truth.
I've had a few friends from out of town come stay with me before and when they get out of the shower, they couldn't stop talking about how silky soft the water felt. Said it felt like baby oil on their skin and their hair and scalp felt so smooth and luxurious.

Hung Iron when I was younger. Only made one hitch. Went to Pauls Valley Ok. All I’m gonna say is LOTS of drugs and drinking! There is no way anybody could sustain that lifestyle. I seen some Crazy sh!t!

Baw installing some shite at our location had a well equipped fitness center at his hotel.
He did too many calf raises and couldn't get out of bed the next day. His company had to send somebody to drive him home.

I screwed up my leg somehow one time up in Nashville, they flew me from Nashville to Pensacola then someone drove me back home to Mississippi. Took longer to get on the plane than the actual flight.
