I hear you on that. Im a Field Engineer for a contractor and the jobs are not hard, it's managing the contractors that actually do the work that's hard work, especially the ones who are union.

True. But I provide the stage and audience. Plus, you can't blame me for being annoyed when these people don't follow my script and turn the "show" into drama day in and day out.

I found this quote very, very offensive and disrespectful

So I'm not the only one? ... and I don't even go to church. The best part is that I used to see this quote in only one guy's signature, and now I see it on the signatures of many members. An awesome development............ Must we be unoriginal in ways that disrespect the beliefs of others?


Work:
First business post-college: pronounced dead at 4 months in.
Second business: still growing after 3.5 years.
Third business: in the planning stages, to launch in 3 months tops.

Technically, my true first business was in high school, but it was pretty small-time. I still probably got paid more per hour than my teachers though.

I wanna start traveling full-time by 35. Can a guy dream?

I never noticed it until you pointed out (I rarely read sigs). You are right, it is quite offensive.

Registered Pimp, no customer complained in BBB yet, so I guess service is superb.

When Bush get out of white house next year, I'll start an arm-business venture with him to to hunt down Bin Laden and collect that cool $2 million cash. He already agree to his take of 25% of that 2 mil (calculated by him to be $100K).
