repetition

I was in line at the airport in Athens to cross back to Italy before coming back to the States and there was a guy from Kuwait in line next to me. He spoke English fairly well and started talking to me. He said that their country is actually very progressive and that it would not be at all uncomfortable for a tourist and that I should make the trek...so this info about Dubai, with all of its wealth, does not surprise me.

Wait, Chargerino, you're mostly Scandinavian, and you have such an out-there personality? Perhaps we shouldn't stereotype.

wishful thinking

That's fine...not interested in Communism. :AH-HA_wink: Seriously, though, I always used to take out-of-towners to Vancouver when I lived in Seattle. Their jaws unfailingly dropped and I knew all the panorama points to get that reaction. Then I would tell them: "Ok, keep in mind, this is Canada's Miami." That put it in perspective.

wishful thinking (don't go to Lake Tahoe for skiing much anymore, but more so for the beach and the BOOOOFFETS at the casinos)

You too. What's the deal? Do all of the Polish guys on the site live in Canada? Seems like it. Yet there are no Toronto Italians on the site and Toronto is caked with them.

Let me clarify an earlier comment....a European Lumina without the Lumina's fairly decent reliability.

ski bum

It has vestiges of old Corvette, but the dash shapes are nice. The seats look too sculpted and slim, alienating many mainline Malibu buyers. However, the cloth HAS to be better than what they currently feature.

And Polish Kris will be mad as well. And !!! Ted !!! And any other Poles on the site.

A European Lumina, to be exact. It just didn't have it. It didn't know if it was American or European. I didn't find it to be very inspiring. Others didn't either. I do think Cadillacs have gotten a lot better, though. I think that they are a little chunky in the rear, particularly the CTS, and I don't like the way the lights wrap around. They finally got the front ends and sides right, but the rear ends need more work.

Gee, thanks! :AH-HA_wink:

greedy

I have (my company has) this one client who is turning out to be a real ass hole. (I wrote about this once before). Unfortunately, I service his current project. I have never had a client I didn't like before (well, actually there was one). I figured it out. This guy, an exec "of sorts" at a construction company, thinks architects are necessary evils. (I'd like to see him get the degree and then the license). He is obviously some ex-jock who got into construction management - he may have a college education in construction, but, regardless, he is a little too classless. Since he probably lacks the technical skills, he has to use his over-the-top aggressiveness to get you to do what he wants. Today, I almost told him to f*** off. I'm having him kicked into voice mail which angers him more. He thinks that this gets him his way. The reality is that he is put at the back of the queue and nicer clients move to the top of the heap. Have you had $h!ty customers and clients that could have put your job on the line? Do you take it? Do you put them in their place? I am in a situation where I could afford to walk. It wouldn't take long to get a new job and I am sort of tired of the firm and the industry anyway. What have you done?

I think poon-tang is something else? Is that what you had in mind?
