Chef Jim Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 So what do you do for a living? Internet douche questioning 101.
John Adams Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Another deflection. I'm sure there's a great story here. He's a documentary filmmaker. How about you?
GG Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 No seriously, what do you do. I'm giving you enough credit to assume you have a job. He's a short bus driver, so he's familiar with the terrain.
IDBillzFan Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Internet douche questioning 101. I didn't even know that was a job.
Chef Jim Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 I didn't even know that was a job. Doesn't pay well, but damn it's a lot of fun.
/dev/null Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Forewarning to DaveInElma, this linked story references First Lady Michelle Obama. You may find this offensive. Reader discrestion is advised Enron!
DC Tom Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 No seriously, what do you do. I'm giving you enough credit to assume you have a job. Dogsled driver. He delivers medicine to Eskimos in deep winter.
DaveinElma Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Dogsled driver. He delivers medicine to Eskimos in deep winter. Thats probably not too far off. I'm assuming since he's being evasive that he's a government employee (which one third of all alaskan jobs are).
Alaska Darin Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Thats probably not too far off. Couldn't be farther off. I'm assuming since he's being evasive that he's a government employee (which one third of all alaskan jobs are). And wrong.
DaveinElma Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Couldn't be farther off. And wrong. Then correct me then. You're the one throwing tossing around the insults at my business because I had Yahoo email address. So what is it? Are you an alaskan fish magnate? a pipeline guru? a high falootin' oil geologist? what are your credentials to assess how successful someones business is based on an email address? Toss us lower 48 folks a few crumbs and give us some insight as to the vast business empire you've got going on up there?
Alaska Darin Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Then correct me then. I already did. You're the one throwing tossing around the insults at my business because I had Yahoo email address. Which are totally deserved, unless you own Yahoo. com. Which you don't. So what is it? Are you an alaskan fish magnate? a pipeline guru? a high falootin' oil geologist? what are your credentials to assess how successful someones business is based on an email address? I don't need to give my credentials to you. You aren't cutting me a check. You want my services? $130 an hour to start, 30 hour minimum. Toss us lower 48 folks a few crumbs and give us some insight as to the vast business empire you've got going on up there? Why? Because I need YOUR approval or care about your opinion?
olivier in france Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 I don't need to give my credentials to you. You aren't cutting me a check. You want my services? $130 an hour to start, 30 hour minimum. sheeeezzz you're expensive Darin!! Do you invoice TBD the 390 dollars/day it should pay you for the PPP board animation?!!
DaveinElma Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 I don't need to give my credentials to you. You aren't cutting me a check. You want my services? $130 an hour to start, 30 hour minimum. Wouldn't I have to know what your services are before I could pay for them?
Alaska Darin Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Wouldn't I have to know what your services are before I could pay for them? If I was actually going to offer them to you, you would. But I wouldn't, so it doesn't really matter. sheeeezzz you're expensive Darin!! Do you invoice TBD the 390 dollars/day it should pay you for the PPP board animation?!! A new revenue stream? Interesting. You're right, though. I am expensive.
DaveinElma Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 If I was actually going to offer them to you, you would. But I wouldn't, so it doesn't really matter. So you'd leave money on the table over petty internet grudges? And you complain about how the government runs? I'm in the "if you can help my business than you'll get my business, business". Thats all that matters. period.
Alaska Darin Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 So you'd leave money on the table over petty internet grudges? And you complain about how the government runs? I'm in the "if you can help my business than you'll get my business, business". Thats all that matters. period. "Internet grudge"? I'm not emotionally invested in this at any level. This, along with your "I probably paid more in taxes than you made last year", makes you an idiot. If you paid more in taxes than I made last year, you are either very, very successful, or need to hire someone to take advantage of the tax laws because you're not doing a very good job. I doubt it's the former. I'm successful enough that I can pick and choose who I work with. There are good business reasons for being selective as both a provider and a customer. That's pretty much Business 101.
John Adams Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Wonders why Dave is so afraid to say what he does. "Running a business" is not a description. I also run a business. I can tell you lots of facts about it without giving a clue what I do. It's 25M/year revenue. It's in a major city. It employs 110 people. Etc. So what do you do Dave?
Jauronimo Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 I don't need to give my credentials to you. You aren't cutting me a check. You want my services? $130 an hour to start, 30 hour minimum. That's an expensive BJ. And a marathon at that.
Alaska Darin Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 That's an expensive BJ. And a marathon at that. I was waiting for someone to go there, though it took much longer than I expected.
3rdnlng Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 I was waiting for someone to go there, though it took much longer than I expected. Many of us can hold it in.
