LOL...I'm not lookin for work, Junior. Teh government pays me plenty
already:

Not to mention a lot of the other work I do:

Do you have ANY idea how much that job paid? LOL

See the neat trick about me...is that I'm a "know-it-all"...who
actually does! ROTFL `, D

Not that I'm some genius or anything, I worked VERY hard to know what
I know...harder than some stupid ignorant fuck like you can ever even
BEGIN to imagine. Essentially I took 5 years out of my life to do
pretty much nothing but learn tech...and that was on top of an already
pretty extensive knowledge of repair and networking. Thing of it is,
Kiddo...I haven't stopped. I do only enough contract work to support
my monthly living expenses so I can invest all the rest of my time
into pushing my skillz further and further. The absolute best? Not
yet, but I'm workin on it. In any event though, I'm better than you.
You wanna know whose better than me?

Well let's just take graphic design:

http://www.applegeeks.com/index.php
http://chugworth.com/

All those guys and gals...they're better than I am...in that specific
area. See the trick with me is that I specialize in a variety of
skills which I combine together in various combinations to achieve
cutting edge, never been done before effects. Eventually, I hope to
push my level of skill to the level of GOD in EVERY area of computer
tech, from rendering to programming...and when I do...he, he,
he...I'll find a level even beyond that. You see, Kiddo, for me it's
not really about a job or recognition or anything fleeting and
meaningless like that...it's about the art, the competition, the
rivalry. I love this game...and no one plays it better than I do.
