Shake shack is good, but a shaking shack is bad.

No, it's definitely not.

No, not meant to make you feel that way. You're ordering it properly. It's people that go to chain restaurants and order these salads thinking they're healthy but it's the farthest thing from.

One marriage was destroyed(not one of the people in my group), along with a $400 dress shirt, a couch in the cabana we rented and a toilet in the hotel (I'm sure there's more but I don't remember it). For some reason, my leg is killing me, though I don't remember doing anything that would cause this pain. The bachelor thinks he may have broken his arm, and my cousin has a massive scrape on his back from somewhere. No other injuries(miraculously). Only one lost drivers license and one lost cell phone, too, so we lucked out there.

All of this in celebration of our friend's upcoming wedding. I'd say we did it right(though, I still feel bad about that girl's now ruined marriage, but there are circumstances that make me not mad at the guy that "f*ed her" marriage)

I'm impressed. Maybe that's not as difficult to do in Vegas where everything is more expensive, but I'm not sure I'd ever be able to drink that much.

I'm still not sure how or where Cheesecake Factory manages to put all that fat in their salads.

Take the day off and do some cool stuff in that area. Don't be silly.

If you're looking to leave, you might as well start using your days!

50 miles.

location wise, this place is piss poor. they have other spots though. they're just doing a big interview and tour day and want me to come see it all.

i guess... it feels wrong to take a day to go on an interview.

So your current job is 50 miles away... north or south of your house?

Why's that? They should feel wrong for you being in spot where you have to leave...

It was a group of 17 people, and bottles were like $325 each. Which is still mind-boggling that we drank that much.

You should ask about them. I think they have to at least pay you for what you've incremented this year... but I'm not sure.

I don't believe so. Maybe personal days. But vacation days... we get to roll them over to a certain time, then they're lost.
