Yeah, i thought so too but your the first to mention it so i always figured it was just me.
Quoted message said:Smaller glasses, not photogrey or tinted.
My father has some that have small lenses and clip around the frame sun glasses things. i may go
for something like that, if contacts don't work out or whatever.
There are new deals with magnetic clipons. Look just like regular glasses, until you need the
sunglass thing. Seem to work better than the clip on things. I can't use them, because I *must* have
Ti frames...🙁 According to my optometrist, I'm allergic to the Nickel in regular steel frames, and
it screws up my skin. So...disgustingly expensive Ti or (gag) plastic.
I tried contacts...too much hassle, and too long in the AM before I could *see*.

"Welcome to Mc Donalds, may i take your order?" "uhh, no, actually, i just need an application."
"you want fries with that?" ;-)
STOP. "Application"??? No...you are looking for a (temporary) career. Asking the counter person for
an 'application' is for kids. Talk to the actual manager. Dazzle him.her with your new smile. Show
off your new tie.

Yeah, thought i might try a few places, again. just to refresh their memory of the last time i was
there. that and there is a Bike shop in auburn that may have a opening, have to check first.
I know there is a opening at my local super wallies in the tire and lube section, but i don't
approve of their filter selection so i won't even grace them with my skills (and trust me, from
what i have seen, i would be able to run the show compared to the guys they have now).
errr......any job....especially one above the fast food level, is better than no job.
A) its money coming in. You won't have to beg bike parts.
B) it's experience
C) it's longevity. Something that other employers study very closely. "hmmm..he hasn't worked in a
year. What's wrong with him?"
Quoted message said:i'll check with the local auto parts store too. they always seem to need a parts delivery guy, and
i know the manager (used to be my uncle, but he died of cancer).
Again...any job is better than no job. Almost.
Quoted message said:just a few places i didn't think of before due to centering on computer related jobs.
Didn't think of? Think of *everywhere*. The auto parts place has a computerized inventory. Needing
maintenance. If they don't, they need one. A good selection of 'free' tools might dazzle them with
the eventual cost savings. Linux/MySQL/Apache/OpenOffice. Be creative.
