Oh well off to deal with boring Pharma type people.

Well, I'd say it's a very handsome pic of you!;) Being dressed in a suit certainly adds to the 'age' factor & I agree that the grey hair tends to boost that stereotype!:eek::rolleyes:
My son would say that the 'squinty' eyes look is due to the Asian side! LOL!

Have fun w/the Pharma-types!:D

I can imagine that would be inadvisable. Of course, I was spraying WD-40 into a vent fan motor when the fan activated last week ...

I have a little personal fan that needed some oil love....and I put some WD40 on it, for the next 5 minutes it was micro dripping the surrounding 2 ft radius...and I barely squeezed on the wd40. Oh well.

I like this photo, too. Very, very nice. I like the tie, what's wrong with it?

Now, don't take offence, but I'm not a big fan of moustaches, so I think you'd look cute without a 'tache! But, as I said, don't take offence, that is just my own preference.

Regardles, you still look very nice in the photo, even with the moustache!



(I'm now hiding in a corner and ducking to avoid bombs that will be heading my way shortly from the box!!!)

In my first academic position, I had to take a course "Sexual Harassment for Supervisors" - my staff had to take "Sexual Harassment for Subordinates" (those are precise titles). Mom said that sounded like a "How To" guide.

Welcome to the group of cool people, which includes me, you, J. Edward, Mrs. Xyzzy, a few other FTers and all the 14 year olds that you can imagine.

I don't know whether it's a nod towards legitimacy or ultra-lame, but I joined Facebook on its second day of existence, back in spring 2004. We all got this "hi, I've started a website, you should join" from a kid named Mark Zuckerberg...and at first I wasn't quite sure what the deal was, but I had been in some shows with his sister and she seemed nice, so I figured, why not. Little did any of us know...

It was very different when it was a collegiate-only site.

I don't think I'm friends with any of you yet though... (my username is the same as my twitter handle)

Yeah...the Box is yet another manifestation of this phenomenon that I've had to get used to lately - not being the youngest one in a group. Honestly, ever since I started performing, in 2nd grade (being one of those token small children necessary for whatever show) - and especially when I was into all sorts of strange, abnormal-high-school-activities like early music and Gilbert & Sullivan and all of that - and then as the abnormal doctoral student who HADN'T done 3-8 years of teaching, I was always used to dealing mostly with people older than I was...

And the fact that basically all of you are in a league WAY above me when it comes to flight time/aviation knowledge, etc. - wow, I'm starting to REALLY feel old. :p

Don't understand the fuss about the tie -- but that's your feeling -- you own it!:D

Is it hazy in the pit? Driving into work today it looked like I had a cheese cloth stuck on my windshield. :rolleyes:

Keep talking like that ALCO and I will find an immigration officer to visit you in your office building in Houston!

Nice. Forward that to Dave Canty. :D



Happy Birfday. No - I turn 29 in November.

CM, Glad to hear thinks are back to normal. I forget your a scorpio right? Nov. 5th here.

I did wear sideburns in the office for a while earlier this summer - have a very nice (and evenly trimmed) goatee at the moment.
