"I have been thinking about this for the longest time and have finally come up with a nickname that describes you like no other - Recession Rob. You know what? That is what I am going to call you from here on out - Recession Rob." Jayball has told me on a number of occasions that hanging around me is like lingering around a cloud of recession.
"No job, no women, no nothing. You are a walking, talking, eating reminder of a recession. As a matter of fact you never left the recession. It's like I am still walking around in 2010 when I hang around you." Riggs is a tough love kind of guy. Actually, he says I'm an easy guy to insult and he just can't help himself. But he did hit something right on the head - I never left the recession!
"Look, I told your dad I was going to stay on you until you got a job. So what have you got to tell me about the job hunt?" I go on to explain to him how I went back in the 7-11 I use to work at and the owner said they were waiting on someone to quit and I would be next in line - "It will be very soon," I conclude.
"Now listen genius, if you don't get something going fast, and I mean real fucking fast. Well, I sure as shit am not going to hang around you. Think about it for a minute. Who in the world wants to hang around a guy nicknamed Recession Rob?"
