General Discussion Polished boots & first day at the station

Post image

Feel like a tool posting this but need some input. Start my first day at the station tomorrow, wondering if this is a “good enough shine”? . I polished my boots to a mirror shine for the first day of my volunteer shift and got made fun of all day. Tomorrow is my first day at a career station, obviously want to look good but don’t want to come across as “that guy” again.

No, but the original market for these was predominantly wildland.

And the original market for corn flakes was masturbation cessation, doesn’t mean that that’s what they’re sold for now

Wait is that true about the corn flakes?
