Are you hittin' on me? Usin' the oldest pick up line in the book. hehe

That's what she always tells me.

You still posting, take a break a while. 

[ChadTower]

I was just off for like 14 hours!

[GameOver]

I was just off for like 14 hours!

Aha...denial is the first phase.

You were off for 12hrs 2mins.  We're on to you big guy.  Can you say 'intervention'?   

[ChadTower]

Ah, I was on the PC at home last night for about 15 minutes slapping visual pinball tables onto a CD to put on my son's computer.  I must have posted then.

[Stingray]

He is HR where he works.

[Stingray]

Actually, nobody is HR where I work. Life is good.

[GameOver]

He is HR where he works.

Heaven help us...

[ChadTower]

He's not called HR, but he is functionally the equivalent of HR for the students.

He manages their benefits and their nonwork related crises.

Ok, so he manages the benefits of students that aren't working at a gay bar?

In reality I work at a high school. Reality is highly subjective here however.

Nice first web page Mr. C.  Does it do anything?

Brand360 is/was what?

The websites don't do anything, because they don't have to. They're just a web presence. We get all our clients through traditional meet-n-greets and word of mouth. Brand360 is the marketing arm of our collaborative design/marketing business. The site is merely collateral...or, a portfolio, if you will. Neither site is suppose to do anything other than prove our existence.

They're not elaborate because part of our face-to-face messaging is that we spend all our time on the clients work, and not our own. Works pretty well, actually, against these design houses that spend months developing some overbearing flash extravaganza.

Anyhow, my company is in transition, so I'll be sure to let you know when a new site is up. I've currently invested thousands in a new setup for non-linear video editing, so I'll be moving away from print/web design as soon as the business model is adapted.

I'm an award winning designer, having graduated with top honors in my field from both High School and College. I won full-ride and half-ride scholarships to two of the top art schools in the country (for my interests), but, for reasons all my own, studied at an urban university in Detroit (Wayne State). Made really good money for several years, but also partook in a lot of risky investments and philanthropic adventures that left me with little for myself. I currently do about 60% pro-bono work for non-profits, and I donate hundreds of hours of my services a month for political/humanitarian causes I believe in.

I work a minimum of 50 hours a week, usually 60-70 once everything is tallied up. I'm not raking in the dough because I find that the work that really matters, and that I really enjoy, doesn't pay that well...but for now, I'm ok with that.

Once I'm able to fully integrate and adapt to film/video, I'll bring several investors into the fold in order to take the burden off of myself. They are already lined up...so we'll see what happens.

Anything else you'd like to know? No?

Well then, enough about me...tell me about yourself?

I don't quite grasp where money is being made here or for what actually.

What? You want frickin' pay stubs? Jeezus.

You don't seem to be able to grasp a *lot* of things, and there isn't enough time in the day for me to help you with that.   

Kind of sums Mr C up perfectly, right there.

'Roid raging again Mr. Tower? I sense jealousy, or infatuation...maybe we should just f*ck and get it over with so you can go about concentrating on your life?

Roid rage is a myth.  I've known a lot of juiced guys and the only ones who have roid rage are guys who had rage without the roids.  They are the type who go off anyway and the roids just make it worse because now they're twice the size they were before and they know it.

[Stingray]

Oh steroid rage. I thought it was hemroid rage.

Hemhorroid rage is a lot more impotent.

Roid rage is a myth.

[ChadTower]

Read the grammar... may result... many users report... can occur... often seen... may suffer... may contribute...

Sounds an awful lot like they are saying it happens to some people, but not all.  It also sounds like the positive of those conditions, which is what you would expect for an illegal substance.  Flip this over to something like Viagra, and all of a sudden the language is rarely, on rare occasions, in limited instances, etc.

The only people who go into roid rages are the A-Holes who were like that before the roids and the roids just encouraged/exacerbated their existing personality trait.  There isn't rage in that syringe any more than there is acne or breasts.  What is in there are various substances that amplify already existing physiological traits.

I'm not saying they aren't very dangerous and shouldn't be avoided.  They are no different than any other illegal drug in that regard, though.  They just happen to be the media's current hot topic.
