    Should I or shouldn't I buy... (clothing item)?

    Going back to school and trying to decide on a new bag. Leaning toward the Topo Designs Klettersack in navy (also considering black): Also considered Herschel Little America and Filson 257. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Adidas '66 World Cup Replica Sneakers - US Size 11

    I've had these for many years, but have not worn them much due to the pegged soles. I stopped wearing them years ago, but thought someone might be interested in them. Please contact me with any questions. I am open to offers. $40 shipping.I am wiling to ship internationally, but may charge...

    Meermin Light Brown Calf Loafers - UK Size 9.5

    Worn only a handful of times, these Meermin loafers are in good condition. They are too small for me, so I am giving them up. There is a scuff on the right toe, and I have included a close-up photo. I will include a pair of shoe trees and the Meermin bag (one bag for both shoes, pictured). This...

    What music are you listening to lately?

     Holy **** I love uberjam (one) especially the title track which I have probably listened to more than any song ever. Downloading now... Frisell is my fav. But uberjam is so good.

    Whats a good job for a college student?

    Yes, that was exactly VinnyMac's point. OP, it sounds like you don't really have any ideas, so your best bet is going to be working for your school. In general I think they will pay a decent hourly wage. Priority will be given to work-study students who qualify for financial aid, but you...

    What was your starting salary (approx.)?

    Not just petroleum engineers work "in the oil field." My friend was an EE and worked at a refinery in Illinois. I never asked him his salary, but I get the impression it was very good. He did not have a company car, though, and it was a hell of a commute from Saint Louis to rural Illinois, so...

    What are you drinking right now?

    Anybody drinking Old Bardstown bourbon after the Robert Parker favorable review? Apparently the review shouldn't be taken that seriously, but I'm curious about the bourbon not the review. I drank a bottle. I think it was ~$17 and I would say it was pretty great for that price point. I normally...

    Job offer rescinded

    VinnyMac, normally your advice is spot on, but in this matter I think you're way off base. Your post seems even at odds with what OP said: Quote: I take your point, don't negotiate for more if you like the offer. But that doesn't seem to be the case. It's hard to judge without having heard...

    Questions to Ask as an Interviewer

    Questions to Ask as an Interviewer

    I'm not sure if you, as the lowest ranking team member, are in a position to do this, but you might try to coordinate with the other interviewers so that you're not all asking the same questions. You said they're already screened on technical matters, so leaving that aside: ask them to talk...

    401k and Roth IRAs

    Good for you for getting a job and looking into these things. To answer your question: no. Roth IRAs and checking accounts are completely different. You will always have a checking account, and Bank of America is fine. If your parents have access to your checking account, I would recommend...

    Half a bottle of wine each evening - is it ok or not so?

    Piobaire's avatar died from drinking too much, and we all just let it happen.

    Moving to a new city to move up the career ladder. Can anyone who's done it chime in please?

    Depending on your field, employers may not be willing to interview out-of-town candidates. If you decide there is some place you want to move, you may have to move there first w/o a job to make it happen. I am in process of relocating to Boston (moving in August). I work in website development...

    hemorrhoids

    seriously? Sitz bath with epsom salt, witch hazel pads, and a prescription drug called proctofoam. It is expensive, but provides immediate relief. Definitely talk to your doctor.

    The Definitive MANBAG Thread Part I: 2009-2014

    Any feedback/opinions on the Ecoalf bags on Gilt today? I'm curious particularly about the London briefcase: Gilt does not have this color, but the pics in the other colors look a little ugly. The only info I have found says they are a Spanish brand that uses recycled materials. The...

    The Uniqlo Thread

    How do the thighs on the uniqlo slim-fit chinos compare to 511s? I have a pair of the chinos in 34 and they are far too tight (embarrassing picture posted earlier in this thread). I tried on some 511s in 34 and they were too tight, but the 36 works out pretty well. So for the unis I'm trying...
