I am fairly decked out there, yes. What you can't see are the Diesel jeans... (before you yell, I
got 'em for free from the rich Thai kid across the hall. I won't pay for anything more than Levis,
and then usually get 'em on sale...).

Usual attire is tshirt and hiking shorts. And a Marzocchi hat when I need a haircut ;)

Aren't you a little bit too unemployed to be getting picky about jobs? If you think you could run
the show, why don't you? If you go in there and move rapidly through the ranks, it'll look a damn
site better on your CV than sitting at home and left-handed surfing.

Yeah, same here - always blending, me:

http://www.bombacommand.iwarp.com/shaun.htm

That's me, but now I gotz a different-ish 'do, and a little, long and wiggly beard on the tip of the
chin, hence : ',;~}~. Oh, yeah - the beard really does look like that, except when I hit the town
weekend nights, when it gets treated to being straight spiked, sometimes with red and yellow gel
(flame style). Like I said, always blending........ahem.....

Shaun aRe - you all already seen those photies anyhow.

P.s. - is black nail varnish really out these days? Heheheheh..........

Yeah, you know - Jesus and Mary Chain (and the rest), 'I wanna kill myself because life is soooo
dull and bad, oh no, I'm gonna take loads of paracetamol and vodka right now because all my clothes
came out the wash grey and my black lipstick won'tsmudge' and **** like that.

Shaun aRe - Well, at least mine's only on my toe nails.

I have too much pride than to put a oil filter that has the equivalence of a piece of paper towel
into somebodies car. I would never use that **** in my car, and i will drop dead before i put it in
somebody else's.

<sigh> Trav, it's supply and demand. People *want* that stuff. It is not your car, it is not your
company and it is not your personal responsibility to decide what someone installs in their own
car. If you feel that strongly, take the job and convince people to spend a bit more money on their
oil filters.

We've all had **** jobs at some point, but it all counts as experience. Don't look at it as a
permanent job, just a stop gap that will keep (I mean start) the money coming in and give you extra
experience that proves to future employers that you are capable of holding a position of
responsibility.

I sold mountain bike-shaped toys from an auto parts store for four years. Some of the stuff I sold
made Walgooses look good, yet it was great experience of working in a proper company and helped get
me my first job as an IT consultant. Added to which, it was great fun.

As I said in my other post, you are far too unemployed to be having ethics on, of all things, oil
filters. Get off your **** and apply for the job, before our last smidgeons of patience and sympathy
for you disappear.

Yeah, like when I was a video clerk. Renting **** was particularly distasteful at times. Like when
this one guy would rent on his lunch hour one day/week when the Mrs. was doing something else. He'd
bring back the tape in like 40 Minutes and he never rewound. The highlight of that job was a cute
college girl asking me to help her choose one (cue the "bow chica-wow-wow" music). It didn't end up
like a **** film or anything, but there was a certain element of novelty to it.

People would also come up with the latest Stallone or VanDamme film and ask "Is this good?". Most of
the time I hadn't seen it, but I could be pretty confident that it was utter ****. I'd smile and say
"Haven't seen it yet. People (thinking to myself "Idiots like you") do seem to like it.".

Having to fight the urge to answer the "What would you recommend?" question with "I recommend you
get off you fat ass and stop watching all these shitty movies and actually do something like ride
you bike or talk to your family for once!" was always a challenge.

It was a stepping stone and now I'm glad I put up with it all.

by golly Shaun, that looks like an AM-B headband.

Now, i know a while back there was a AM-B roster (still around?), but what we need now is a
collection of pictures to go with it.

Given that DSL has just come into my area, and i may be getting it, if so i could host it on my
server, though it still needs a bit of straightening up after the upgrade. but somebody could host
it, and maybe a few mirrors. IMO, it should be automated, but moderated (so folks don't just add
names to spite the server). i know enough PHP and MySQL to get by to make a fairly good site, just
don't have the bandwidth currently to host it. Like a AM-B gallery type of thing.

what my daughter might bring home...must be someone else.
