lots of food for thought,  Jason..thanks for posting..
funny – one of the profs at Penn from the Delta Group told us to never design two paths going in the same direction..
that was one ‘rule’ I found to be completely incorrect, in real life..(Delta Group was better at engineering..) People like to travel at different paces, through different…[Read more]

This would actually be really cool if those turf areas were community garden plots…oh wait this is Santa Monica….never mind.

heehee..definitely good for laughs, thanks..
what IS under the beard? and the neon speedo roller-skater seemed too come to easily to mind – when DID you put away the neoprene, and is it possible that the potential employer sees the  neoprene rollerblader in your soul, that the beard is trying to conceal? 
ps, I saw the San Diego zoo is hiring for…[Read more]

I’ve worked the past couple Christmas seasons at a big box electronics store (to help pay for school). In my department the manager has told me that if you can grow a good-looking beard and keep it maintained then you should because it helps one have a gentler, kinder face (like Santa?!). Not sure if there is any relation, but it seemed that the…[Read more]

Nah… Just kidding… My Dad was a stock broker back in the 80’s (a very stressful job) and he used to have a “don’t panic” button on his computer screen. It was pretty cool… didn’t always work but it was cool…

I work for another agency, not USFS.

When you mess with Mother Nature you always lose.  Heated sidewalks???? really?  Will be interested to see how it all works out.

I had one from HS and through undergrad, then was clean shaven while on AD.  I grew it back towards the end of grad school (2008) and kept it until about a month ago.  Nobody at work recognized me the day I first took it off. 
 
I think it would very by company and by region to a degree.  Where I’m from and currently reside (Alaska), not havi…[Read more]

I too have some gray hairs in my beard. I kind of like it though… I can’t wait for it to be completely gray so I can grow out my eyebrows and the tips of my ears like one of those kung-fu masters from the 70’s… that is going to be awesome… I’m going to design the hell out of some landscapes then…
In the mean time I was thinking about…[Read more]

I copied this to another post because it is sadly accurate.  http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/7429337/
 

Ooops, I didn’t mention that I have lightning bolts shaved into my beard, like Vanilla Ice? Does that make a difference?
Yeah, it could all be a set up… the whole world could be a set up, to the point that set-ups become irrelevant, tests mean nothing and reality ceases to exist for both the test giver and the test taker. Don’t forget, the test…[Read more]

Shave it for the interview.  Beard it after you become well liked:)  considering it is not multiple tatoos or piercings they might feel lucky.
