Actually, even as a non-business owner, I'm getting to the point where I feel it's important to express one's personality. Sure, it might not get you the job at the evil multinational, but if your personality doesn't mesh with their desires, why would you want that job anyway? 03:44 * jcamins heads to bed, having spent the last forty-five minutes contemplating how to make early modern cooking "trend" on Twimblerbookterest. 03:45 trea sounds awful 03:45 * wizzyrea blinks 03:45 eythian don't forget to put it up on Yourfaceinatube.com! 03:46 jcamins eythian: hehe. 03:46 wizzyrea *giggle* 03:46 jcamins You're right.
