I just saw Dr. John on Saturday, holy crap, guy is as old as the hills but what a performance, he sounded great, his back up band is killer...he was amazing, probably the highpoint of my musical weekend, and trust me, there were several.
they don't have to stay naked...in fact most if not all have fashioned loin cloths, boobie coverings, etc...but they are dropped off seperately, having never met, naked, there is a bag with one item of their choice in it, then they have 21 days to survive and meet at a predetermined pick up spot which is on a very crude map that they are given. its actually pretty cool
Jim...I wrestled with that...then I realized that I just didn't give a f***...figured I'd give people some enjoyment if they chose/choose to run with...
i am convinced they used a bunch of pictures and morphed them together...there is definitely me in that picture, but i am not completely bald on top, i wear glasses but holy crap....
the picture of the dude is eerily similar to me...so much so i had to ask my kids if that was my picture...thankfully they said, no, his face is fatter....but holy hell the similarity is damn close...plus the by-line of Paoli, PA is my neighboring town....

No one can live like Chuck Norris, we are all just lucky he lets us live at all. See Mars as an example....Chuck Norris went to Mars, now there is no sign of any life form at all...coincidence? I think not!
To your point, I am a leading candidate for a position with a really big and really solid company but I don't want to leave where I am....it would be more money but not enough for me to leave what I like.
So far that really hasn't bothered me. It may eventually, but I'm 50 and frankly just happy to be gainfully employed, appreciated by my boss and his bosses and my peers, and yearly small raises. I do see your point. Its a double edged sword, you are almost frowned upon from one perspective while perfectly happy in your own little bubble.
its took me a long time to really buckle down and put more effort into my work history/skills/attitude, etc. since then, my goal at every job was to become the 'go to' person who knew where to find answers. I never aspire(d) to the next rung on the ladder nor am i looking for the big payday. I know inside that I am doing a good job and that my boss appreciates my work, the rest(raises, promotions etc) are gravy. I know that some look at it as a negative to be in the same position for years, but frankly i figure once i master my job, that is when i will move along....
damn, i am such a sap...that show has choked me up way too many times for me to count and that 'finale' was no different, no matter how many times i see it
i wouldn't...your boss is an a-hole(granted i am assuming you are your own boss at work...i certainly do not mean to call your wife an a-hole if that is who you meant by 'boss'...in fact your wife deserves sainthood for putting up with you.
i'm really timid in that department and have NEVER asked for a raise, i get whatever the company gives, this year i was given a bit more than the average because i had gone above and beyond, basically that is all i really ever hope for...i am just happy they let me in the door, especially in today's economy
