3. For an interview?
Or an actual employment-type job?

"Beware of all enterprises which require new clothes."
Words to live by, I say.

Edited to add: I'm going out to buy some clothes now.

7. Thoreau probably never had an entire wardrobe of jeans, all of which
have multiple holes from wear.

2. Make sure you git them nose hairs...
Nothin' is more distractin' than watchin' an erant nose hair movin' 'bout the upper lip area....

4. But they blend so well with my moustache.
Helps to disguise the gray.

8. Congratulations!
I would NOT call that a screw-up by any measure!

And you have several days in which to do your make-over......

Good for you!

Let us know how it goes, OK?

13. I'll do that.
I like my prospects. They're located about six blocks from my house, so that's a big plus.

19. Someone said "Enough is the root of prosperity."
I'm not sure how that applies here but it works for me. :)

21. What happened to the book-typography deal?
Edited on Fri Dec-16-05 10:19 PM by Redstone
Just answer that, if you please, and don't ask me what happened to that other deal, because that has turned into a hernia of major proportions, and I'll apologize for any time you may have put into it. Of course you have a right to ask, and I'll answer you tomorrow because you deserve an explanation; just not tonight, OK?

But I'd like to hear about what made the book deal apparently go sour; if I remember right that was going to cover your overhead so you wouldn't have to get a (shudder) job.
