Oh come on mate! We're not all that sorry of a lot! Besides my bad day ended alright! The guy didn't realize that a heavy grind 'felt' very different from the full hollow that he'd been using! After trying again he's come to like it!

Yeah, at least after my bad day, one place I dropped a résumé seemed REALLY interested, and didn't seem concerned with my salary requirements listed. Oh, and my born-and-bred-in-Dublin Thomas Read straight razor was waiting on me when I got home.


*Edit: I'm too young for retirement!

Life is like photography. We develop from the negatives.

I'm sorry to hear that you might be working for free since they weren't concerned that your salary was 'Retired'!

Sorry but I just couldn't help myself!!!

Seriously; if you do find better employment then good for you!

Haha! Doggone auto correct...

Needless to say, I dropped off a résumé or two on the way home today.

I was in your position once and it seemed at the time like the worst day. It was the kick in the rear I needed and ended up in at least the top 5 best days!

You know its going to be a bad day when you sand the tip of your middle finger off making hones on a belt sander.... :-(

Yeah, definitely.

One thing I'm taking as a good omen is that I stopped in a Subway to pick up some sandwiches for dinner and was talking with the guy behind the counter about when I used to work at a Subway in a different city back in '99. The manager overheard and pretty much offered me a job on the spot to pick up some extra cash. Kind of a menial job, but it made me feel like I am marketable to a prospective employer... something I haven't felt in about 3 years.

Like Shaun said... It's the thrill of the hunt!

It's a bad morning when your cannot get the top off the nitro tablet bottle and the wife whines when you wake her to help you out.
