Boys and girls,
I made a lot of cash today.
I made over 600 bucks, and it was nothing.
I went from Houma to Morgan City.
Then I went from Morgan City to Fourchon.
Then I went from Fourchon back to Houma.
600 hundred bucks for that! Man, that's something else.
I just flicked my cigarette over my neighbors fence. He's a Yankee. I hope I burn his freaking dog.
My only problem with tonight's events is some novice forklift driver gouged my trailer.
Night's like these make me want to buy a Hummer and pollute the Earth.
I feel magical.
Happy Thanksgiving, your darlings.
Next year, I'm shooting for over a hundred grand--God willing.
If he's not willing, I'll go bankrupt and back to teaching. What's the difference. I don't see the money anyway. It all goes to my wife and child.
All I need is beer and cig money. |

Happy Turkey Day to you, too.
I don't know those towns, though. What state are you in?
Too bad they allow Yankees there. Not many here in Texas. |

Wow. 600 bucks?!?! You have no idea of what "a lot of cash" is. |

You are right, my friend.
I'm poor white trash.
But I'm still going to break 100 grand next year. |

But that's because you're cool.
See, I'm not cool. This is my first taste of money.
I'm enjoying it.
If you don't like it, then just whistle.
Put your lips together and blow.
I'd like that.

Yes, but I don't think he has anyone else to tell. This is his chance to feel like a cashmoneyed macho happy man in front of his internet chums. |

Have you hit that figure in a day, Huff? |

Not on the plus side. I never got credit for money made from screw ups. But I took most the brunt of the blame (at least from my boss) for an error that cost almost 100 grand. Had a few errors that were worth +/- 30 grand. Pretty much anything under 5 grand was considered a wash. 600 bucks was a rounding error. |

But I don't deal with numbers, man.
I just work with the sweat of my brow.
So if I can make 2500 a week, it feels pretty damn good. That's not calculator stuff.
Don't get me wrong. I could go bankrupt tomorrow.
But you really can't win, can you, huffy?
What are you doing in Korea, anyway?
Although I must say you seem pleasurable to talk to. |

Got tired of listening to guys b*tch and moan about only making $1 milliion a year. I miss the perks (free meals, free beers, free tickets to ballgames) but the market's moved to the computer anyways. It just wouldn't be as much fun as watching some 6'8" #300 guys trying to kick the @ss of a 5'6" #150 guy. |

When I left: $1,000 / week. $10,000 year end bonus + misc. cash bonuses throughout the year. Usually got $20 / day for lunch. A tab at the private club. 6 weeks of paid vacation + bond market holidays. Averaged about 25-30 hours a week of work. |
