I know that the less I sleep, the more neurotypical I become. If I'm really fatigued (which has been pretty much all the time lately) it is VERY hard to get the geek going on a target...

| Your work uniforms are an investment. And suits are basically uniforms. Buy CONSERVATIVE. Go through a Brooks Brothers, take a look, then check out a few discount places - You can buy $150 suits without a great deal of problem. Wear nice ties. Again, try to stay relatively conservative. You're going... |

| Sounds like you are already anticipating failure... Dude, what do you geek on? What really makes you tick? I've got a friend who likes to work on cameras. He buys old cameras cheap, refurbs them, and ebays them to collectors. There's -always- something. For that matter, get yourself a spray bottle, ... |

Let's see... Courses I've gotten As in... Journalism/Broadcasting law, Media Statistics, that sort of t... |

| The problem with criminal defense is, frankly, a whole huge majority of the people you will interact with are guilty scum. And you've got to take your logical solution of "You know what, we really need a long drop with a short rope," put it away safely in a box, and then try to get them off... Here'... |

Heh... I've had Terrapin Station going for the past several days, but every so often it segues into Ripple...
Seriously.
Then again, it could be worse...

| I know someone who is a really nice person, until she goes into "business mode." Then it's like she's got a mad on for the whole day, and between the flailing around being "efficient" and the constant "hmpfing," I get tired just being in the same room. She also thinks that I'm "special." Yeah, I'm "... |

Ask the boss-type to change the name from "complaints department" to "Trouble Team."
