This guy states he may buy his first house next year...at age 43! That means he was 40 - 41 when this incident occurred (in 2005).
What's he been doing with his life...no, don't answer that. It's painfully obvious. NOTHING! At 40 he's work-for-hire in a trade show booth in Denver. Probably a ski bum or rock climber by trade who works the shows to keep bread on the table and buy crack. And he's still at it at the beginning of his 5th decade. Sheesh! No wonder he blames his boss and the person who 'ratted' on him. If he'd realize where the true responsibility lies, he likely couldn't cope with the answer, because it would mean his entire purpose thus far was meaningless.
Good point! He was in his thirties during the wonderful Clinton years, and couldn't afford to buy a house then? Heck, my husband and I were in our twenties when we bought our first house in early 1993. One of my democrat friends noted I must have confidence in Clinton to make such an investment and I said no, I have confidence in my husband.
