I was in Phuket in 2004 when the tsunami hit. Now you know the rest of the story.

What, you think I get my kicks going to forums about other people's workplaces, learning some terms and words and then pretending to be one of them? LOL, and the point of that would be what, exactly?

Was in Phuket in 1989.
One of the most beautiful places I have ever visited!

Some of the ladies were just as gorgeous.
The future Mrs. bottomups kept me in line though.

 

[Re-Raise]

you had me at bikinis and low-cut dresses...

 

[soberups]

So did "your" girls get paid a fair share of the revenue that they helped generate for you?

I dont mean to sound like a prude....I like to look at attractive women just as much as the next (straight) guy....but the line where you talk about returning to the states with 50 of "your models in the bank" sort of makes it sound like these women are just a commodity for you to profit off of.

He could be really "Living the Dream".

Sure, but
he is not him.
Usually, I agree with you.
This time, not.

Understand?
Perhaps I'll agree later.







lollollollol!

i call BS on a large part of this story. a 2 tiered wage level for part timers was established in 1982,with starting pay for Reload at $8 and hour for Reload and $9 an hour for preload. His numbers for what he made when he started driving arent correct either.

good story tho!

I started in 83' and the wage was $8.00 an hour. I call BS too.

Okay everyone. I stand corrected, but even still---you know...why a place with that name as part of this story....iykwim.

 

[toonertoo]

I never heard of it, til the tsunami.

I never heard of it, til the tsunami.

Was the OP Dean Koontz? Maybe Toni Morrison?

It does have something of the feel of a Dean Koontz story , doesn't it?
