>Sitting in the local yesterday talking to a local fella, Harley rider, electronics tech, egg seller. He is also active in the Vietnam Vets MC Club so we bought a couple t-shirts and ordered a dozen eggs with the promise to bring egg cartons we've been saving for him.

Another fella...logger type bellied up to the bar and before I left, the leathered up biker/egg man (Wayne) had a job doing something for the logging outfit, I disremember what, but it ain't loggin'. All he said to the fella was,

"If you hear of anything going on, I'm looking for work and I'm a working mother fucker."

Wayne LOOKS like yer typical scooter trash, but somehow he presents as a standup pillar of integrity.

Now...I do CVs for a little money, and have a whole list of people who GOT jobs on the strength of the persona I created for them...but CVs as a be all end all doesn't work anymore, because the HR person isn't reading them. There's just too many of them coming through the door.

I've got a great CV, but am packing too many years, and won't do a lot of stuff for the money they offer these days.

Fitz...I enjoyed reading your post...some real sensible shite there.
