  1. Wow, wow, wow. OK. I differ with you on this. I am a control freak and thus am not crazy about operating out of a briefcase and being perched in someone else's office. My first foray into the business world was during college where I worked for the controller of a hospital at 2 different hospitals (this person changed jobs halfway through college). I liked going to the same place every day. Then came the big surprise...working for an auditing firm for a couple of years and then onto a smaller firm for a couple more before making a big career switch. I hated the auditing firm because I didn't like the time budgets within which to accomplish the work. I am a perfectionist and wound up EATING TIME (working and not billing it) so I would both keep my job (LOL) and look good. I liked the smaller accounting firm because I rarely traveled, knew all the clients and, basically, it was just more down to earth. Consulting is certainly a big challenge but it always seems to land people great opportunities at other junctures. Do you have an MBA as some of those names appear to be snooty (I know of 3 of 4) though you do have technical expertise? Do you plan to leverage that as your foot in the door and then ask to move out of engineering?
  2. I have been meaning to call him. I will do so when I come back across the pond.
  3. Rolls Royce Car or airplane engine, it's all good... Hey, dudes, we need to keep this thread alive...we owe it to our precocious friend Chargerino who, at 12 or 13, was bold enough to start to most popular thread ever on this site.
  4. Razor is cool and a lot less intense in person. I had dinner with him while transiting from Montreal down into NY state to visit relatives. I told him to intercept me somewhere along I-87 and I would buy dinner. He brought his new Pontiac G6 coupe.
  5. If you don't like that, something is wrong with you! (Not you, 98). However, they didn't check the box for color-keyed belts...what an eyesore without them. Edit - other fixes: coupe format nicer color combo whitewalls Rallye II wheels Hood ornament
  6. Oh, brother, you can be such an ass...
  7. dough
  8. uppity
  9. With that, I award you an honorary doctorateresponse to thread: Delaware
  10. ...just a bunch of Spaniards speaking their lingo at an internet joint in Valencia. Oh, you meant music....
  11. boring
  12. These are everywhere in Europe...especially in Spain. In the Canaries, they were in rental fleets quite a bit. They have a nice roofline and silhouette.
  13. Should have bought Boeing stock when it was in the 40 or 50 range. Should have bought more GM stock when it was down to 18.
  14. naked (in the movie, that is)
  15. All of the plaques and such in the post office indicate a lengthier processing time. My last one, in 2000, took no more than 1 month, if I recall.At any rate, there´s plenty over here to bitch about (will be a separate thread)...namely the prices. Take everything you see in Euros and multiply it by 1.39. That´s 1.37 for the exchange and .02 for the c.c. tag-on. I am cancelling my circle of the Veneto and the Dolomites to save 4 nights hotel, a rental car charge of 170 E, gas and tolls and will head back to Florence to the relatives to take day trips. In fact, I am trying to see if I can come home a week early, which could be tricky on a frequent flyer ticket.
  16. airport
  17. butter
  18. I thought the same thing after writing that. Accidenti! Che mente sporca che hai!
  19. It´s nice. I don´t think it looks like an Impala. I am worried about all the blind spots that less glass is creating. I was also expecting MPG to be about 5 mpg higher. I´m cheap, you know.
  20. Not a chance. I have foibles of other varieties to report on. Heal soon, B, I once broke 3 metacarpals running to catch a light rail train in Portland and taking a fall ... and had to go to hand therapy. Fortunately, it was my left hand.
  21. sensory
  22. secret
  23. TYD and other Canadians: Happy belated Canada Day (July 1)Spent the 4th on Portugal´s beautiful island of Madeira...today, I island hopped over to the Canaries (which belong to Spain). Not too homesick....yet. Hope everyone had a pleasant and safe 4th.
  24. ENJOY!!!
  25. Some successful people´s kids are such pills. I guess they feel they can´t fill their parents´shoes, so they act out and act like jerks. In the slammer like Paris, I say!
