Why didn't you dump your stack of papers in the trash and come back to the salon 3 hours later and ask for your $3.00?

Because the owner was the one taking us to these neigborhoods in the area and following us other wise that was the first thought I had. A couple might of ended up in the gutter though.

15. I was hired to help with desktop support at a state agency, but the head support guy also did half the Sys Admin duties, which he taught to me. He became "ill" later that year and had to take early retirement(he was 6 months away), and I, as the only person who knew how to do his Sys Admin work, took that over. I'm now the complete Sys Admin(minus our 2 Sun boxes, the rest are Macs on 9 and X) 1.5 years later.
