First of all, what Bilmore said. He is right on so many levels. Have you ever had a shitty job? I mean a really shitty job - like Sonic Burger?

I see your Sonic Burger and raise you a cold-calling job. (Well, it was only slightly better than cold-calling, as it was the Gallup Poll, so people had heard of it, at least; and we got to call people to vote for the People's Choice Awards -- woo hoo!!)

But, daaaaaaaaaamn, that job sucked. The "coffee break" room alone made the Office Space working environment seem like paradise.

Not to change the subject, but did anyone watch the Donald last night? I Tivo'd and would like to know if it's worth my time.

Wow I'm blushing. But that can't be true if my main aspiration at this point is to be The PLF of 2004, can it?

If it is true nonetheless, then bow to me, minions!

Jester and suck-up are different things. You should take some time off from your efforts and research that.

It is if you like to laugh at the Donald.

He fired Bilmore.

But anyway, start making yourself aware of what else you COULD be doing, and how much you COULD be making. There are just a ton of really really shitty occupations out there, most paying less than what you're making.

You could be handling complaints on a credit card company's 800 number; you could be a bike messenger on an 4 degree F. day; you could be busing tables; you could be a bill collector; you could be a musician in a rock band; you could be a telemarketer.

On the other hand, you could be feeelthy feeelthy rich and not have to come in the office ever and just have people working hard for you that you don't recognize when they make you gazzzzillllions, while you go to golf tournaments . . . . .


Whoops. Gotta go.

ANd cheapness is one of my biggest dealkillers (financial budgeting fine,but cheap? no).

Wow, an hour and thirteen minutes of straight work. I was in the zone man, intense.

One woman's cheap is another man's financial budgeting.

See, they snare you with gifts and fancy dinners, until your finances are inextricably entwined with theirs -- then, it's no gift-giving and dinner in front of the TV (in your underwear -- well, not YOUR underwear, his underwear -- I don't walk around the house in my underwear, usually. Too cold.)

I did cold calling for a portrait studio - straight commission. No appointment, no pay. Sucked. I made $15 in 3 days, and then quit. But I did learn that if you do not speak english, or pretend to not speak english, most cold callers will hang up on you.

Well, then, maybe PLF and I can coexist.

Since nobody's asking, here's what I think about the Pete Rose situation:

I think this week in Pete's life should be studied in PR-schools as how not to do stuff. It's pretty freaking amazing that by finally coming out and admitting that he bet on baseball, which the entire world thought would be a very good thing for him to do, he's set back his own cause for reinstatement, probably irreparably.

Sad, because I was a big enough baseball fan at a young enough age to remember Pete Rose, even before his time as a player/manager.

As an aside, I have a memory of watching Joe Garagiola doing a This Week in Baseball game that began with Willie Wilson leading off the game with a home run (perhaps inside the park), and the game ending up a 1-0 Royals win. Who didn't love the late 70s Royals?

There was a brown noser? Damn, I thought they'd be all "good looking enthusiastic back stabbers" as advertised on ABC.com.

You are confusing bilmore and G^3.

This does show that you don't read the PB, which is a point in your favor.

I saw portions of this only so I can't opine on whether it is worth your time.

Why doesn't someone say something about Trump's hair?

Why did they pick unqualified people who aren't even hot? That Troy guy is pretty cute, and I think one or two of the women are okay, but generally it is women who think they are attractive and dress in seductive clothing but who are really butterfaces and odd looking men.
