damn I missed the post!!


Well, I've decided to venture into the world of architecture again.

I got burned pretty badly before and thought I was pretty much done with Architecture, professionally. last job fired me because my supervisor kept setting me up and then ratting to their supervisor about my "inefficiency"

Come to find out, they said, "I can't wait to get rid of that guy and hire the (ethnicity) guy we interviewed"

I was the wrong "color." *sigh*

I started an EEOC claim but glad I kinda held off. That's public record and it could have counted against me trying to get another job. I do want to sue them, though.

Anyway, good news!

At one point in the last month i had $0.57 in my bank account LOL! With my car insurance due with no prospects of money from my car business on the horizon, the struggle was real!

Well, I spent about 40 minutes looking for a job on that day I looked at my dismal bank account and said "f*ck it." applied to about 7 places in multiple states.

got a hit back from 1. Inteviewed and GOT IT! :D

First time that's ever happened to me. Every time I would interview, I interviewed VERY well but never got the job. Only time I did get the job from the interview was when I had a Phone interview, (makes me curious...)

Either way, awesomeness abounds! I start monday. i've been preparing this whole week... Seriously nervous because I want to live up to the AMAZING references given.

They're all factual, but... like... The way my references worded the work I did sounds like I'm a beast! I didn't know the work I was doing was that crazy!

was wondering what became of this whole chicken thing......

you know,just found this thread,and thought it was all going to be flame wars and vacum tubes at dawn but theres nothing controversial!(mind you I have only read the first 1000 pages or so).

ok whats the most controversial thing to post-"Ban Gone With The Wind"?.Obama wont eat your wife and kids?.

Seriously,what about this whole big dick shaming and small dick shaming issue?thats the elephant in the room-or the forum- isnt it(sorry couldnt resist)?

ps cusp your avatar is really scary,like Odin or my dad or something.

Congrats SBE. Always better to start off down playing then you can impress if you know more. Then to show up with them thinking and expecting too much. No one no matter the skin color can live up to that. One persons bad ass is another persons average. One persons average is another persons bad ass...
Good luck!!!

I'm unable to sleep. Going on for at least a week. I need to get tired. I'm not exercising or working my mind much. Stuff I'm doing is too easy. Hope this ends soon.

Saw a docu about people who retire and where they dream to move. All my years and no one has given me a good reason for living in these freezing states their whole lives. Why do you all do it? Why do you live somewhere with that weather. Almost all those jobs can be had in better climate states. I don't get it. Then you wait till your 65 to move South. What? Lol

I live in the cold climes. I prefer cold over hot and humid. I won't be moving south when I retire either. I can add clothes when its cold. Only get so naked when its hot out.

It seems like those from the South can't tolerate the cold up North and those from the North can't tolerate the heat of the South. Although, the older I get the more I like the idea that you don't have to shovel heat. I guess it really doesn't matter where you live, there are a few months of very cold or extreme heat, but the rest of the year is nice in both areas.

Watching the leaves change; the beauty of a quiet snowfall; things that bloom only in the spring; that is life!

Many people that have moved South say that the change of seasons, especially the fall, are one of the things they miss the most. I will never get tired of seeing the fall foliage up here.

I do love the photos of your fall. Beautiful. I love your snow on vacation. I guess it works the same way for us. It's what we know. It's how we live. Same for you.
It all makes more sense now talking about it. Not 100% lol

So...went to see James Bond Spectre tonight...very disappointing...best part was the hot dog I ate!

The DB10 was only in the first half hour or so and the story line left too many loose ends...6 out of 10 at the very most!

Bah!you blokes are just too cool to take the bait,arent you(unlike certain other male member based sites that shall stay nameless)

Talking of films does anyone else here find the "Halloween"movies really scary?"I Spit On Your Grave",Saw 3000000,and the Centipede or Milipede or whatever its called just make me laugh,but they make me piss myself with fear-the worse is that one-Halloween 3?-when the childrens heads turn into pumpkins and explode.

Yeah, I think Daniel Craig needs to retire! I ain't spending money on that BS, I liked Casino Royale, that was cool. It seemed like he was taking it in a new direction, where Bond would get the sh*t beat out of him and just keep going and eventually get the upper hand, it had a cool proper Bond storyline from the original too. But all the others were without substance and I can't even remember if they had any kind of storyline.

I thought casino royale was the best as well. Most of my mates said it was boring because of the poker scenes. I did like skyfall.
