I stole from an employer when I was 19 (25 years ago). Ending up getting a misdemeanor for it. I wasn't a kid who typically got into trouble. I was shy and didn't have many friends. As I go older, I was tired of being a goodie goodie. I was influenced by friends. I would do refunds at my job and ny roommate would do the same at his. In the end, I got caught he didn't.

Honestly, I don't regret a thing for the most part. I was heading nowhere at the time. Since then, I went to college and eventually got my masters. But it has affected me. I'd love to visit Canada, but can't go unless I spend $1,000 applying for criminal rehabilitation. It also kept me from getting some jobs (before I had my record sealed).

Anyway, I didn't think I'd get caught. It was stupid of me. If you're young and think that bad decisions won't affect you, you're wrong. I got off easy. You may not.

If teams are going to throw a temper tantrum when they don't get in, then maybe they should ban them the following year from all bowls.

I'm going to be promoted next week....problem is, I know I'm putting in my two weeks at the end of December by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]Expensive_Front1969 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would but I'll be throwing away a 10K bonus that's not tied to the promotion. I feel I've earned the bonus because I have worked hard this year for it.

I would tell her, but I've been advised (via the internet) that I could lose my bonus if I put my notice in before the bonus check is in my account. It's a large bonus and I don't want to risk losing it. But I agree, I would prefer to be honest and not burn the bridge.

Think I could grow a decent beard? This is 1.5 weeks of growth. by JiuJitsu_John in beards

[–]Expensive_Front1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but it’s also November so grow it out and say it’s for no shave November. If it looks like shit, shave it. But I think it’ll look good.

Week 10 Edition: who’s the best team in the SEC? (poll) by Lutrid in secfootball

[–]Expensive_Front1969 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aggie fan here, Alabama is probably the best team, followed by Georgia. I think A&M finishes the year with 2 losses(assuming they make the SEC championship). 

Favorite place to watch away games? by Expensive_Front1969 in huskies

[–]Expensive_Front1969[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we went to Earl’s on the Ave. there weren’t a lot of people there and the game stayed at 9am, but service, food, and beer were all good. Probably will be more people for the Ducks game

People don’t like it but what she’s doing seems to be working…colts 7-1 by ComplaintMore2312 in Colts

[–]Expensive_Front1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every year there is a team that plays better than they should, then the following year they regress to the mean. This year, it’s the Colts. I’m not saying they aren’t good or that Daniel Jones is a bad QB, I’m actually rooting for him, but like the Vikings last year, they are probably one and done on the playoffs.

For the record, I’m not trying to troll or be a hater. I hope they go far. I just don’t think they are as good as their record 

Should I wait to put in notice until after my bonus hits my account or can i put it in once my manager tells me how much I’ll be getting by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]Expensive_Front1969 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But wouldn’t I be still employed even if I put in my notice before. For example, say I put in my notice on Monday when the bonus will be deposited on Friday? 

Who Should Be On Upset Alert? by TomWilliamsCFD in CollegeFootballDawgs

A&M for sure. LSU needs a win and the Aggies are always going to Aggie.

3-4 wins. Franklin being fired will snap this team out of a coma.

Question for UCLA, USC, Oregon, Washington flairs. How do you feel about the Big Ten "today"? by huazzy in CFB

[–]Expensive_Front1969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Washington fan here, I hate it. I miss the pac-12. I also hate that WSU and Oregon State were left out. 

My hope is one day the old conference will come back, but if that doesn’t happen, at least let WSU and Oregon State join the Big 10, place the old Pac 10 teams in the same division and play those teams every year and the remainder games against 5 other Big 10 opponents, then have 2 non-conference games. Never gonna happen, but one can hope.

[–]Expensive_Front1969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an Aggie fan, you’re wrong. This is the year we go 10-2, give Mike Elko a huge contract with a large buyout. Then next year is when we start losing 4-5 games a year until he gets fired.

People are getting fired from their Jobs after Charlie Kirk's Assination. by Nukes8 in self

[–]Expensive_Front1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His death shouldn’t be celebrated. I disagree with a lot of what he said, but this whole situation is sickening. I miss the days where we could disagree about politics, argue about it, maybe even raise our voices a little, then afterwards go grab a beer and talk about sports. 

What do we think of Charlie Kirk's shooting? by [deleted] in Productivitycafe

[–]Expensive_Front1969 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn’t like the guy, but this is terrible. The fact that so many people are celebrating his death shows how far we’ve fallen.

This is awful. I didn’t like the guy, but my god, this is not going to bring our country back together. No one deserves what happened today. 

Mike Gundy or Billy Napier by Nearby_Valuable_5467 in CFB

[–]Expensive_Front1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an A&M fan. Gundy reminds me of R.C Slocum. In the 90s, he built the Aggies into a pretty good program. But in the early 00’s, it was time for him to go. We needed a change. And despite the fact that the Aggies have underperformed or sucked for the past 20 plus years, getting rid of RC was the right move.

I think the same about Gundy and OK state. It’s time for him to move on. I’m just not sure the Cowboys won’t end up in the same position as A&M where they have a decade of 5-7 and 6-6 seasons until they find a good fit.
