Got my ass a job

name of the ship...?

The Golgafrinchans. Ark Fleet Ship B.

Don't forget, though, the remainder of the population was subsequently wiped out by a virulent disease contracted from an unsanitary telephone.

I once worked at a law firm that employed telephone sanitising contractors, you know. I loved it.

Unfortunately, most of the telephone sanitising contractors had never read HHGTTG. I always asked.

True - I'd forgotten that bit - I'm not too keen to place any stock in a one off punchline without recendence (that I know of anyway).

Why were they sent on ahead again?

Why were they sent on ahead again?

I don't think they could quite... remember. It was generally acknowledged to have been a terribly good reason, though.

Something about a marginal contribution to society?

Congrats on the job! A cousin of mine did his toolmaking time and worked for many years in Auckland before going off to the UK to do his OE. The third day he was there he walked straight into a job making suspension components for F1 cars.

All the best with your career.

You'll also have the satisfaction that you'll add more value to the country than lawyers and accountants (now watch the fur fly ).

According to the gospel...
Plumbers get paid better than lawyers in the USA...
Everyone wants to be a lawyer/nobody wants to be a plumber (thank the education system and crap TV shows...).

Mind you, it was a plumber who told me this...

[yungatart]

Awesome news, Paddy!! Big ups to you - and your folks, for bringing you up proper!!

[Blackbird]

fuck, I wish I had done a trade instead of wasting my time on a shitty engineering degree.

enjoy, bastard.

I did both. Presumably that's why I work in Marketing now

Legolas, one of our KB members resident in the UK is an engineer with Cosworths. All the grief in that industry and Cosworths in particular has got him looking at plumbing as an alternative career. I guarantee you that he will have better job satisfaction working for himself AND make more money!

fuck it, I'll become a plumber.

I put that toilet in a few months back, the rest of it can't be too hard.

Guy I work with.
His bro-in-law was a plumber.
Had a pipe to clear in Wellytown that went up a steep hill. He was at the bottom working on the stuck pipe......
It suddenly cleared and several days worth of sewerage descended down the pipe onto him.
Aparently, he quietly packed his tools away, drove off and quit the plumbing profession - never to return.
