I Know It's Been Done But Let's Revisit

Where do I start!

now that's no way to establish trust.... especially with a hyper sensitive insecure Bear like me :wink:

Bear- Once I retired, I put away my "unconditional positive regard" hat back into the closet, once and for all. Now I can be as abrasive as I want!

another illusion shattered.....

Have been a probation officer, youthworker, sexual education teacher, university lecturer, co-ordinataor for an immigrant location, and lead the last couple of years a therapeutic living community for handicapped (younger) persons.

Kind of retired now, using a bit my history degree and my camera ...

Painter on movies and TV

When I'm not working on the above, I'm still doing the same things, ranging from simple carpentry, drywall hanging and finishing, wood stripping, paint, and as little faux finishing as I can....among other things.

Also have history with floral work... grew up in the business.
Worked for a party production company too. I ran the Art Department.

Contract Data Analyst for a large financial services company. Oh, and Project Manager/Admin for a large forums database that shall remain nameless.

I'm an extremely competent, ultra-successful, neer-do-well.

Professional peasant.

I love ThinkGeek....

hamburger, you have waaaayyyyy too much energy to come close to the "lazy bum" category...

Thanks DD. That'll be in his Xmas gift box.

I have to get this for E.G.:



He was soooooo thrilled when he was root. He isn't anymore at his new job I don't think so it may be too dated, but I endured so much crowing about it. ("Do you understand what this means? ROOT!")

Nope. Explain please...

That's what he would say to me. I understood by this time.

Well, sort of. It's ubergeekdom. Something about being the computer guy who has access to a whole network and could basically do anything if he didn't have scruples but since he does he just maintains the network.

Or something.

(He's not a computer guy, he's a scientist, but the network at his office was messed up and he taught himself how to do this stuff, which most people need, like, training for. He's a lot like Craven that way. They'd either like each other a lot or hate each other, I haven't quite figured that out...)

you gotta factor in the egos.

you are so kind , soz ! :wink:

quite a few years ago - in the days when "T GROUPS" were all the rage - our boss suggested we all take a personality test - himself included .
my test results showed : PLEASURE SEEKER (and i'm not kidding !) .
my boss thought that i had not understood the questions , but i knew that i had understood them very well .
that's been my lifestyle .
