Part timer at an asset finance company. Mostly answering the 'phone. Terrible.

I was a younger man 10 years ago.

My job allows me the leisure to do things that I enjoy. And what I enjoy is typing unsolicited insults on Internet message boards.

When I was 15, I enjoyed taunting newborn babies for shitting in their pants. Now, the targets of my finely-honed (with age, like wine) wit are mostly young adults. Folks whose primary life concerns include whether the dorm monitor is going to hear them playing Halo 3 past curfew. Man, it is fun to fuck with these people.

Wait, you're not me are you?

Well, I was also an industrial electrician for a while, which was fun but paid shit. And I've done a lot of food service work too. (I'm glad other people enjoy this line of work because I didn't)

But, I'm afraid that despite my nerdiness, I've never grown a beard and never purchased an aluminum guitar. Maybe I should get on that or run the risk of losing my nerd membership card.

I think you need a satellite dish guitar. Your credentials should be secured for a lifetime then.

All the men in my family are bearded. I never understood the beard until I was old enough to grow one myself. I've been growing one since 19 (back then, it was a sad looking beard). I went full-out bearded at 25 when the beard finished growing in. I will never be beardless again!

The beard doesn't make me a nerd though. If it did, I would have had one by the time I hit grammer school.

I have a Peugeot pepper mill.

I had a conversation about how many pepper mills Peugeot had sold through the world with Jeremy Lemos last August. Interesting, isn't it?

TY
The exact agreement for the fuel is that I have a 160 liters a month quota, which I never overpass actually.

Me, I'm a junior engineer in a post production sound studio.
I do heaps of stuff like fixing gear, sourcing SFX, Music and Atmos for productions we work on, Trouble shooting!!! always trouble shooting, IT and tech support, gear maintenance, cleaning and servicing, radio dispatches and all of the other tasks that get assigned to me on a day to day basis. Basically I am a robot that does what is required, when it's required. I've been here for a year coming up in December.

I quite enjoy what I do.
