CGar – I used to be an architect (Not a real licensed architect, mind you, so the AIA would come after me for saying that, but I worked in an architecture firm designing and overseeing stuff) and it doesn’t require much math, day-to-day.
Eventually, I decided that I was tired of getting paid even a pittance, and so went back to get an MFA, so that I could nobly toil for free. 😉
LOL! when i get paid i actually do hide dollar bills and rolls of quarters around my bedroom to find at a later date! accusing me of being secretly rich is rather offensive, but sorta kinda funny. maybe i should just go with it! there is something about the human condition that is not found in animals… humans can fake it, and in faking it, could actually achieve it in doing so. things fall into place like dominoes.
walking around like pauper looking for bargains (goodwill and $ stores)and living in Park Slope is classic sign of hoarder who often has $5.5m in off-shore bank account. and hundreds of thousand hidden around apartment. They have psychiatrists draw up psychological profiles of this type of person to look out for. And secret cameras at Goodwill to find them.
Sorry, Jessi, I was abducted by aliens. Story had clumsy, embarrassing pronouncements about the “meaning” of flea markets and shopping for quirky old junk. The transitions were amateur. The author mentioned two kinds of flea markets and seemed unaware there’s a third kind, the kind that all flea markets used to be before, apparently, she was born (garage sale type used stuff from many vendors — not vintage stores and not tube socks from China).
Example of bad transition: “WHAT, exactly, is behind the new flea market hegemony?”
Speaking of wanting to be an architect, me too, but someone told me you have to do math. I now fantasize about managing projects for an architect. I already do it at home — why, just this month I have called the exterminator once or twice every week for four weeks with no result whatsoever.

IRS got wind that *rob* has dogwalker, takes car service everywhere, lives in primo expensive zip code, etc and so questioning why he needs a refund.
do they also question why all of his clothes come from goodwill and the dollar stores, only shops the circular sales at Associated supermarket, and sometimes brings his own drinks to bars and restaurants!? it’s called sacrifice!
Arkady, exterminator didn’t come yet.

mopar – What’s no result? Exterminator didn’t come or didn’t do any good?

cuz it gives you karma points for being a shady financial hedge funder or whatever it is that you do!?
