So for those of you who hit it, how do you cope with turning 30 years old? - Page 12

Even if CyberCubed loves to mess with us and troll us, I think therapy wouldn't be such a bad idea for him. You seem to spend an awful lot of time on the internet, man. That can't be good for you.

*CyberCubed* · 08-08-2016, 03:00 PM

The thing is most people are online from either work or their cell phone. Its not like we're all sitting home when we're on the internet all the time. Although we do that too.

Everyone would benefit from therapy. The world would be a much better place if we all saw someone once or twice a week.

I'm pretty sure therapy sessions cost money, as least as far as I know. Not everyone wants to pay someone just to tell them your troubles.

*ToTheNines* · 08-08-2016, 03:45 PM

No its free

*snake* · 08-08-2016, 03:51 PM

It's good to have friends that help you with sh*t too

They do, yeah, idk where Nines is coming from. I get mine free because its offered on a sliding scale and I make almost nothing, so I get mine for nothing. People with insurance probably get it free too.

Right, and I don't mean literally everyone. I meant like, imagine the world if Putin and bin laden and Kim Jong Cartman had therapists growing up.

Not so bad.

*CyberCubed* · 08-08-2016, 08:11 PM

I wonder if I'll ever find a job outside the airport. I've switched jobs 3 times inside JFK with different companies, but I've never left the damn airport itself.

I feel like I'm stuck here forever. Working at the airport isn't as glamorous as it sounds.

I'm afraid someone else would just take their place. But yeah, talking to people is great.

Agree. Old folks are sometimes tougher than we give them credit for.

My grandmother had been a frail woman for a long time and not the best of health. But I've always been impressed how, though she was already on hospice, she was determined to try to eat dinner with us the Christmas before she passed, as well as open some gifts for a little while until she was too tired and needed to go lay back down the rest of the day. She only lived 10 more days after that.

Hey, btw.

Not seen ya for a while.

What kind of job at the airport do you have? I've been curious ever since you mentioned working there. You said you've had 3 jobs there. Maybe you could find a job outside of the airport. Have you tried by chance?

Ironically, I use the Internet most when at home. I'm too cheap to bother with using it on the phone. I keep it on airplane mode while out, and only take it off while out if I have to send out a quick message whether to work or my roommates. Unless I have access to wifi, I don't use it much (Japan). I use my phone mostly for music and is also the main reason I've only bothered with Pokemon Go twice. Stateside, I've never had one so, I would probably do the same here. I'm stateside now, but I haven't used the phone for the net outside of my parents' house because they have wifi.

Yeah, it is amazing how resilient some people are. Glad to see you too.

Every since I found out you work at JFK I picture you as Stainer from She's out of your league.

I never said I hate young people. It's judgmental @$$hats with big egos and no sense of empathy that tick me off! I just used the term millennial because I was referring to this kid who's been arguing with me at work.

I'm 30 on November 27th. Considering I'm actually starting to hit my career milestones, I'm feeling pretty good about it. I just wanna get in better shape now.

The horrible, terrible, sudden and unjust loss.

Here let me expand on this for the sake of perspective.

My girlfriend of a great many years just died on the 2nd. When we were first getting together, the following now-very-dated things were true for us:

The photos we took were mostly polaroids
To chat online we had to use dial-up internet
To talk on the phone we had to use phone cards, because calling long distance was expensive.
The first time she came to visit my house, we played the then-current N64.
