Small quibbles.... not that young, not that beautiful (ok, damn nice
looking) , extremely captivating (plain? hello?) LOL

And, definitely no self-esteem problems. LOL! I like that about you.

And, not THAT kind of plain, silly!


I almost said WTF? :-)


Nope, definitely NOT plain. (no freakin' way!!!) Hey, you seem
well-spoken
(well-written is perhaps a more apt term). Did you get a college degree?
Engineering perhaps?

Yup... it was a strange major/minor combo... Politics/Psychology.. for
what it was worth. But, I got hired by the Los Angeles code dept, then
when something opened up in Santa Monica, I switched. I'm actually
thinking of going back to the LA dept. I know a bunch of people there
and I'd get a raise.



I bet you hated politics since you're no liberal. How could you stand all
those freaking liberal professors trying to indoctrinate you? Psychology has
always interested me. I like to try to figure out what makes people tick.

As for a raise, heck, your blog says you make a bunch of money. I hope you
are putting all you can into a 401 or deferred compensation for retirement.
At your age you can almost be a millionaire when you retire if you can get
modest interest and keep contributing the max.

Isn't Santa Monica a healthier place to live than LA? What with all the air
pollution in the basin and all? Some things such as a relative clean
environment are way more important than a little more dough.

bit and pull the masking tape before it gets really stuck on hard.

Politics was fun because they encouraged debate. As long as you
defended your arguments, your grades didn't suffer. We had a couple of
"conservative" profs, but you're right they were mostly liberal.

Ah, you visited.. cool. I don't make tons... do ok. I'm saving money,
definitely. I have a trust set up for my niece, since I don't plan on
having kids.

It is, but I wouldn't have to move. They have several locations.

Do you use the famous blue tape? :-)

I guess that was a 10-12 years ago and maybe colleges weren't quite so
liberal back then. Now, from what I've heard, they are at least 90% very
liberal professors, so much so that they will give a conservative student
who presents a conservative viewpoint a low grade. It's become all about
indoctrination over education.

Didn't your myspace say 'kids - maybe later?' or some such? Well, you're
quite young still and there's time to change your mind at least a few times.

Yes, but the emphasis is on the maybe. It's really not a priority for
me.

Construction guys I think carry it in the underpants. It's everywhere.
