    Model 36 Chief's Special

    Job interview for Tech Support Specialist (Jr.) position...

    1. For an interview always go with a suit or blazer/tie combo. Allways better to be overdressed for an interview than underdressed. 2. Suprises are always possible. There is likely to be no real apptitude testing or IQ testing though. Just have some idea of how do answer questions like...

    Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

    Not that it makes everything all neat, but they did score a pretty sizeable load of diamonds from the safe house a few episodes back. So that should make for a pretty could money supply as long as they are not getting hosed by their fence. - J

    An Asian band worth checking out (if you are into metal that is) is Dir En Grey. Pretty cool Japanese metal band. They get played on Sirius' metal channel and are on tour with the Deftones (they did Family Values '06 as well) and will be open for Nine Inch Nails for a few shows in Europe. - J
