And what can I add to your collection, Peter?

Send me a little portrait of yours, locket size really ?
That would mean to me so much.

The keyword in his sentence is a few, and the error is 2 missing zeros on his 100.

Hm, I'm going to work tommorow with my dad for "take your kid to work day." Now this will be fun. I am convinced that he is an overpaid guy who does nothing but sit on his butt at work listening to music and posting on forums of his own. I'm going to bring my camera and all, I want him to prove to me he does work at work.

Funny boy you are....he brings home the bacon or the chicken or whatever, right ? Well sonny, that's the only thing that counts in the final analysis.

I would say roughly around $1200 in the past two weeks. Not much but I dont want to spend more than 3k on equipment.

$8,000

Yup. Just this little thing my dad and I have going on. I am almost convicned he has the BEST job in the world doing nothing. Not that I'm complaining, but I think it's funny. He used to read books all the time to keep up with the latest stuff, go to work every day, etc, but now he seems to be doing nothing.

The most talented executives appear exactly that way.....so, he is either about to get fired, or he is a very capable well positioned manager. Some day I am sure he'll explain it to ya.......if he does not, I will.

Well he's not a manager, and he's been doing nothing for quite some time now, so I don't think he's about to get fired. I'm sure he does something, on the rare occasion (maybe once a week?) he'll get a call and somebody will need his help (coworker) or something. He's got good knowledge without doubt, and he even admits they just pay him for his knowledge, hehe.

£12,000 GBP lol thats not includin the mac pro damm this forum has cost me alot lol

He is probably wiser than you think.... for he has mastered the art of being paid Quite a Lot for doing Very Little.

I aspire to get there some day because right now I am doing A HELLOFALOT for Very DAMN Little!!
