From driver's ed, 25 years ago - "You must come to a full and complete stop, at or before the crosswalk or limit line". I wish that didn't echo in my head this many years later. Get out, get out, get out.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
"You must come to a full and complete stop, at or before the crosswalk or limit line".
Well, that doesn't just roll off the tongue.

My driver's ed guy was a little different from yours, Suzi. I think he was from Mississippi. Not that that matters except for the accent I hear him in. Direct quote relating to safe stopping distances: "Now, if I see a blind person in the intersection, I'm gonna give him some room. I don't know about no te-eeen feet, though."
The section on long-distance driving began "Say you goin' down to Memphis for the dawg races."

He sounds like fun! I had Mr. SillyName, who wore silly pants. I know it's not kind to make fun of him, but boy he was... silly.

I just told two co-workers how I sing "Mama's little baby loves shortening shortening" to my kitten boy Caspie (he loves it, btw). I think I have to kill them now, eh?

What I remember of Mr. Schaeffer the driver ed teacher was him singing along with "Lucille" on the radio as a I drove.
"You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille!"

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Is the recruiter on the East coast?
No idea --but it is not unusual for this to happen . I had a recruiter yell at me, because I suggested that leaving a message on Matt's cell phone was more effective than leaving a message with me that he wasn't going to get for 6 to 8 hours. And then there are the recruiters that Matt has 80% of the experience they are looking for -- and they keep trying to make him say that he knows the other 20%. There are some things you can't fake. And then there are the ones that want him to give a bottom salary number, push him and when he gives a reason response - reason and number range -- they ask if it is negotiable -- meaning only lower.
there are some really good recruiters out there-- but there are whole lotta wannabes that don't have the basic people skills or organizational skills to do the job well. ( know the jobs , know the co, know your people and don't out and out lie)
Opps, I committed rant

This no voice crud is so done. I normally like the guys I work with, but they are enjoying laughing at my whispered conversations a bit too much.
I want my voice back.
