Well can people help it if the shoes in your avatar are sublime?

Or on the flip side, their plan is to get out of town before the problems they created with their "solutions" become apparent.


That's for sure. Well, it's reassuring that it isn't just one consultant hell-bent to ruin my work life, but it's a character flaw they all possess.

Maybe this isn't necessarily bad, but I am quite annoyed, probably much more than I should be.

So about three weeks ago, I did a massive search for the perfect 1B peak-lapel tuxedo; I visited pretty much every respectable men's shop in NYC, looked online, etc., to no avail -- what I was looking for was a thinner more streamlined peak lapel of the kind seen on an RLPL from a few years back. Anyway, after looking for a very long time, and even considering at one point a $2500 Paul Stuart tux, I settled for a Jos A. Bank that cost $500. I wasn't enthralled with it, but it was close enough, and didn't cost a fortune.

So today, while I was casually looking for a formal vest at Century 21, I run into the (almost) perfect tux -- A RL blue label tux with grosgrain 1B Peak Lapel, in the exact shape I wanted. Only flaws were that it had side vents and flap pockets, both of which could be remedied. The cockpunch, so to speak was that Century 21 was selling it for $500... plus 50% off. After some amount of cursing under my breath, I bought it for $260.

Of course, the event I'm going to with my hot date is this Saturday. Now I'm wracking my brain for ideas on how I can get it tailored for Saturday. ARRRGH.

Oh, btw, if anyone's looking, they have at least 2 more in 44L, and possibly other sizes. They also had a Z-Zegna for $450 and some beautiful DB Zegna mainline tuxes for $400-450 range. I only looked in size 44, but I'm sure other sizes have decent selections.

Search all files and folders for the file type (*.jpg, *.tif, *.raw, whatever) and sort by date modified (invert for newest first).

I will try that, thanks J. I tried searching for the filenames (I put the pics up on my Photobucket account) but apparently I changed them in the computer. Ugh.

No such luck, I probably edited it on my old computer so it's not showing up on the new one.

God DAMN SNOW! Over the weekend it snowed over a foot (thats over 30cm) in my city. I am lucky enough to live on a street that rarely gets plowed so I have about 16" of hard powder ontop of hard packed snow and ice. Nothing beats a car with low gound clearance in snow that deep (my corolla has been stuck many times now)

I'm at a trade show with two guys - a marketing guy and my regional sales manager for the middle east. last night we take out a bunch of distributors for dinner and we are done at about midnight. my middle east rm says to me :I'm off to find some whores" and takes off. I find this mildly ammusing, until he shows up this morning, obviously under the weather - I am guessing he was out whoring until 3 or 4. anyway, he was pretty ******* useless today.
