Lock up your gear!

Post by Mini Forklift »

Hey everyone,

So after surviving an unbelievably shit 2 years I managed to weather a months worth of interviews and psych tests. I came away with my dream 6 figure job that I start mid November.

GAS has already kicked in and I'll soon be satisfying my Plexi, Tele and LP desires. I feel like I'm possibly the happiest guy in NZ right now :)

Look forward to talking shop with some of you soon MF.

I have doubts. I find it hard to believe that a GAS sufferer could pass a psych test. :lol:
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Congrats! Have to ask... What's the job? Or is it NZIS and you have to kill us if you tell us?

My gear is literally locked up. 3 slide bolts and 3 padlocks in total.

Paranoid? Me?

Ok if you won't tell the job I'm just going to assume it's senior beer and guitar tester at a guitar shop with an attached brewery.

Is $8,750.50 a six figure job? If so, I've finally made it.

$8,750.50 x 12 = $105,006.

Yeap you're in the big time Rockefeller! (now - let's tax the shit out of you...)

Edit. We've all seen the gear you own. $8,750.50 x 52 = $455,026. Almost enough to afford one of those fancy "now you won't have to pay any tax" accountants... :D
