What do you do for a living, Seph? You always seem to be doing nothing. Are they hiring?

Clonedsheep · « **Reply #7 on:** October 11, 2005, 01:38:11 pm »

Sorry about me being on topic. Good job on the raise.

ChadTower · « **Reply #8 on:** October 11, 2005, 01:39:07 pm »

I think the point was, when your annual raise is measured in coins, you aren't in the right line of work.

I've done quite a few things, but not as many as usual because they made me work half the long weekend and I'm annoyed with them.

Worked on CAD drawings of schematics for water treatment plant.

Responded to computer trouble call in neighboring state.

Billed for computer trouble call - 2 hours @ $90.00 an hour to reboot PC at water treatment plant.

Replaced tape in weekly backup pool.

Modified job specs and quote for upcoming job.

Surfed web intermittently.

I've still got an hour left to work. I gotta be doing something wrong - this seems way too productive.

mrhowell · « **Reply #24 on:** October 11, 2005, 09:51:08 pm »

Reloaded GX260 w Win XP and imaged 5 others (through a 10mb, took an hour), installed 5 or 6 usb wireless adapters. Explained for the millionth time why I have to put service pack 2 on your xp machine and explained it will run like crap. Removed pen cap from floppy drive. Took 3 calls from my boss on the Accelerated Reader problem at Midway. On another note, if you have kids in K-12, beat the crap out of them if they steal the balls out of the mice.

Bones · « **Reply #25 on:** October 12, 2005, 06:55:58 am »

Checked email. Busted for excessive personal browsing.
Deleted BYOAC icon from my desktop.

She hinted that she has some pics from her modelling potfolio that I could scan, that she said "the geeks might reallylike"

Speaking as one of the geeks, I say ignore Chad and start scanning!

ChadTower · « **Reply #31 on:** October 12, 2005, 10:56:29 am »

Sigh. All it takes is one thing to tick her off and someone to suggest "you know, you could get thousands from this guy without ever going to court". It doesn't matter whether or not she likes it now. I've seen it happen too many times. The second that suit is filed, you're already out thousands in defense attorney fees, and if it goes to court, she sits on the stand and cries and you lose. It happened to a good friend of mine. Chick was all into him, they got all flirty, it went to stuff like this... then she decides she wants something else, turns on him, sues his pants off, destroys his reputation, and he loses a business he worked 15 years to build.

No trim is worth all that.

Zakk · « **Reply #32 on:** October 12, 2005, 11:01:32 am »

I let her read your post, she says "thanks for the good idea"

:double sigh:

(I'll see if I can still afford dial-up after the lawsuit!)

Stingray · « **Reply #33 on:** October 12, 2005, 11:06:38 am »

As long as you're getting sued anyway, you might as well scan those pictures.

Heh, turns out she tried out to be a model when she got out of high school.

ChadTower · « **Reply #35 on:** October 12, 2005, 11:10:17 am »

I had a gf that was a sought after model when I was younger.

Women with a unique look, like being half Native American, are not discriminated against, they get the quick road to work... if they are attractive enough.

You'd be surprised how many women are constantly told they are attractive enough but when the rubber hits the road (squip) they just aren't.

Stingray · « **Reply #36 on:** October 12, 2005, 11:14:24 am »

If the pic you posted of her is representative of how she actually looks, I'd say the reason she didn't get any work is because the guy doing the hiring was a moron.
