How long will he last this time?
Friedrich Nietzsche talks about "Der Wille zur Macht." I guess I ain't got none!

Thanks, cuz ... I haven't had a high success rate in the last two years, but at least I'll get a few sips out of the deal! Since I will not use the forums for free advertising (unless they (the winery) give me an adequate raise and better employee discount), I shall not blurt out where I am (especially since I might not be there by the time anybody gets there!!). But I did leave the winery's name visible on one bottle in one of the pics. Get out your magnifying glass.

You should come over and visit us on Facebook. I have lots of stupid pictures there! Even that Robin fellow who hangs around here is there.

Well, anybody that shows up for work in a winery tasting room with a blindingly white shirt on is questionable to begin with.

I mean, chances of ending the day with an unblemished shirt are pretty slim; and if you do manage that, it'll probably look like you weren't working very hard, namean?

Still, this could be perfect for you: you like gabbing; you like dealing with people (even the idiots); you like wine and talking about wine. You like having an income.

This job thing could be a whole new thing for you. Pretty soon you'll be looking back on your recent spate of non-job time fondly---oh, say, much like you look back on surgery recovery or wisdom tooth extraction or protracted periods of periodontal excision.

(Seriously, dude: all the best in the latest venture.)

Thanks for the recognition of my laundering abilities! No stains to date. Except for the lack of income, unemployment is still my preferred modus vivendi, but the supply of wine kind of provides a balance in this instance. I poured at a place called the Gallery Market on Union Square yesterday. Fun to be in SF. Nice collection of wines and cool cellar ... although you'd never know it looking at the place from the outside.
And now what?
