No wonder the other guy decided it wasn't for him.
Interesting point you're making there and I agree. Where I work a LOT of people work 12 - 15 hour days. I've found that most people who work that long are usually inefficient at what they do. I work some 10 hour days but rarely more than that as I can work fast and efficient.

If you're working 10 hour days on a consistent basis, it's my opinion that you're just not very efficient. Unless you're the owner of a business, that is.

Agreed. I generally put in 35 hours a week and more than get my job done in that time. Granted there are some weeks I put in 50+ to make deadlines that I have no control over and I do eat at my desk almost every day, but my normal workday is about 9:30 am to about 5:00 pm.

I don't think I've ever had a job that I couldn't do in a 40 hour week if I actually worked instead of chatting with coworkers, gossiping, and generally doing everything but work. My guess is that TVSG could do so as well, but God forbid he miss out on something that's none of his business to begin with.

Read some of his many ridiculous posts and you'll figure it out.

He's a misogynist with poor money management skills who thinks far too highly of himself. The way he talks you'd think he went to Harvard, rather he went to a third tier college, graduated with a degree in communications , and works in a dead-end job for a private social services agency, acting like he's a manager when in fact he's just a low level worker bee.

He's also made unwelcome and repulsive comments with sexual overtones to a number of posters, and asked every ridiculous question when he was job hunting (my two favorites, "Should I pick up the phone when it rings or let it go to voice mail," and "It's 20 degrees outside, should I wear a top coat to my interview or not?" (By the way--he was walking to the interview as he doesn't own a car.)

He got caught trying to collect more unemployment than he was due, and whined non-stop about having to eat Fruit Loops for dinner for a week before he got his first paycheck.

Do I need to go on?

I find him somewhat amusing albeit in a perversely repulsive way. Something like watching an accident in slow motion. You can't help but watch rather than avert your eyes, even though you know there will be carnage.

To some he's like an annoying zit that just begs to be picked at, to others he's a buffoon who affords much levity and then to others he's the potential train wreck which begs watching. To most he's a combination of all - and that's only on THIS forum. Nobody could script what he comes up with in the relationship forum. When there are people like TVSG on the planet everyone else can sigh in relief that they are, in comparison, quite normal.

I have to thank several of you for the multiple laughs today. Someday I will reach the level of sarcasm directed towards the infamous OP. Until then, I bow in the presence of experts like STT Resident and annerk.
