You've got your arse a job?

What do you charge? $100 short-time, $150 long-time?

Do you wax?

How far off prolapse are you?

It's nice to see the BDOTGNZA Flying Squad on the case and deployed.

Always sniffing for a fresh bit of arse to undertake corrective action on, old bean.

They shall feel the sting of my rod.

A truer word has rarely been spoken

(My brother, sister and bro in law are all lawyers... )

congrats! Has anyone used the joke yet "So you got your ass a job, what about the rest of you"?

Seriously a trade is so the best way.

Good for you

Congratulations :thumbsup:

And toolmaker is a very satisfying career. hard , but the rewards (financial and personal) are good. (And I'm NOT an engineer!)

Don't knock it. Someone's gotta fill in the forms.

Just like someone's gotta eat the long expense-accont lunches and pretend they know something about their employer's product technology.

The country just has too many lawyers and sales guys, is all. You can't use that to buttress a qualitative dismissal of the professions.

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

enjoy, bastard.

A shitty engineering degree? They let you into engineering school?

Jaaaaaysus.

My class-conscious ego just took a severe knock.

Funny - I wish I'd gone on to do an Engineering Degree after my trade...

I did Business (giving a little more background to the comment Fish got hooked on). I've done the trade,and I've done a degree, and I can assure you one is as hard as the other.

I know the theory but it's been so long since I turned a lathe on it might be a worry for the first day or so...

**The_Dover** · 1st November 2006, 13:49

I'd rather lose a fuckin limb on a lathe than my mind flying this fuckin PC.

While true in the detail - as a generalisation I gotta stand wit the Engineers on this one. What was the name of the ship from Hitchhiker's guide where all the Lawyers Accountants etc were sent on ahead to set up life on the distant planet?

And remind of the reason they went first?
