Welcome.

Perhaps you should consider a non-customer service position.  I was a restaurant manager for many years and really hated people.  After 6 1/2 as a Senior Business Analyst, I can now tolerate most people.  As for being old, you're not, see my definition in the thread that your boobies was in.

In 1984, I was in the USAF.  You're not old.

Wow... you've been fired a lot.

I was only ever fired from 7-11 and DairyMart.

Any way... welcome to the h00d (a little 1337 sp3ak for ya ;)).  Watch out for the accomplished trolls.

"Boobies" is a filter on fark.com  If you type "First Post" as part of your comment in one of the threads, they have an automatic filter that changes it to "boobies".

So, boobies = first post

Chewy on the outside and crunchy on the inside.

Sorry to confuse you with the boobies.  It's just habit after so many years.  Somewhere has the best filters by far though.

Ocean Going Cockroach. Tastes like old roadkilled Crab.

Got food poisoning on Lobster on vacation in Jamaica. Now I can't even smell it without remembering vomiting for a week.
