you need a break.

right now there's a 23 year old out there with a fraction of your skills who's shooting for a number 3 in your field- and will get it because they won't believe for a second that they can't do it.

31 taters in 1977

I don't really follow comment number 1 - who is "they"?

I just took a job. It gives me #1 and #4. I haven't started yet but am optimistic about #2. We shall see how it turns out.

Hans, it seems like you only have #1. Am I wrong about this?
Kois | Homepage | 03.27.07 - 10:55 pm | #

I think Hans used to have 2, 3, and 5...

no more

BJL is right, my old job had 2, 3, and 5. My new job actually has 2 and occasional 4.

I have 1, that is all.

I think if Hans publishes the next installment of Trayline we will all feel a lot better.
Joe M. | Homepage | 03.28.07 - 1:28 pm | #

I just read Trayline for the first time...good stuff. I was amazed over seeing the number $230 in reference to a month's rent...seems amazing to me in light of the Metro NY rent I've been paying. We are robbed here.

I have 2 and 5... with 4 often enough... and occasional 2. Some days I think I'd give it all up for some 1.

5 for 5- it took a while to get 1 though
crsmal | Homepage | 03.28.07 - 6:43 pm | #

5 for 5 sounds amazing, Mattingly-esque

believe me, there are several things the job doesnt have like:
health benefits/ retirement plan
low risk of injuries
clean restrooms

Dorito-licious

i think i would get a government fine if i published a picture of the restrooms i deal with
crsmal | Homepage | 03.30.07 - 12:43 pm | #

"Crappin' and snackin'." That still makes me laugh. Sometimes when I'm on the bowl I think to myself, could I go for some Doritos right now? The answer is always no.

I prefer a nice bag of honey-roasted peanuts with my stool!

It makes me mad as hell when I bite the inside of my mouth hard.

Identified very strongly with this post. I have 3,5 and arguably 1 for someone with no clearly identifiable skills. The lack of 4 and 2 is really getting to me, particularly 2.
